It is the theme song of animation movie\u00a0<strong>Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?<\/strong>, which was\u00a0said to be on a par with the phenomenal Your Name even before it premiered. The film&#8217;s global release has made the song a hit even overseas, while the collaboration between two of the most shining\u00a0rising\u00a0stars has made it a must-know to the Japanese &#8211; not just anime lover but also the reajyu. Believe it or not, it is played constantly in a lot of Japanese retail shops and even restaurants.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-tKVN2mAKRI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #33cccc;\">\u258d<span style=\"color: #000000;\">2.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Peace Sign (\u30d4\u30fc\u30b9\u30b5\u30a4\u30f3)-\u00a0Kenshi Yonezu<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Again, it&#8217;s the magic of\u00a0Kenshi Yonezu.
