Alongside the album, Kenshi Yonezu recently also scored the theme song of director Hayao Miyazaki's film The Boy and The Heron, released in 2023. The song, Spinning Globe, would go on to be a major success in its own right, charting at number 3 on the Japanese singles chart.

Kenshi Yonezu spoke about the theme song and working with Miyazaki in an exclusive interview with Hypebeast on August 29, 2023, stating in response to being asked how he felt after he was initially approached to make the theme song:

"Astonished – I can’t describe the feeling in any other way. First of all, I couldn’t help but wonder, “Why me?” And then I later found out about the story behind Mr. Miyazaki’s decision. It all started when he heard “Paprika” – a track I wrote and composed for Foorin back in 2018."

The singer elaborated:

"One day, at the nursery school run by Ghibli, the children were singing and dancing to “Paprika” on the radio, and Mr. Miyazaki was actually singing along with them. Mr. Toshio Suzuki then suggested to Mr. Miyazaki, “How about asking the person who made this song to create a theme song for us?” And Mr. Miyazaki simply replied, “That’s a good idea.”

The singer continued:

"I actually wrote “Paprika” with Mr. Miyazaki’s films in mind. The fact that he heard it, and even triggered him to reach out to me to create the theme song for The Boy and the Heron is truly something very profound to me."

Alongside Spinning Globe, Kenshi Yonezu's work has been featured in the games Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Extend, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F as well as Final Fantasy XVI.
