Re:Kessoku Band (Japanese: Re:結束バンド, Hepburn: Āru Ī Kessoku Bando) is the debut EP by Kessoku Band, a fictional rock band from the anime television series Bocchi the Rock!. It was released by Aniplex on August 14, 2024.

Background and release

On May 21, 2023, Aniplex announced that the Bocchi the Rock! anime series would be receiving a compilation film project.[1] It was later revealed to be two films,[2] subtitled Re: and Re:Re:, that were scheduled to premiere in Japan on August 7 and June 9, 2024. "Shine as Usual" was announced as the first film's opening theme, with Ai Higuchi [ja] writing the lyrics and Otoha [ja] composing the music.[3] On June 6, 2024, the ending theme for Re: was revealed to be "Now, I'm Going from Underground", written and composed by Yūho Kitazawa. A six-track EP titled Re:Kessoku Band was also announced and would include the theme songs from the compilation films.[4] "Shine as Usual" and "Now, I'm Going from Underground" were released for digital download and streaming on June 9,[5] with the former being accompanied by a lyric video.[6]

On August 1, "Me and the Three Primary Colors" was revealed to be included in the EP. Written by Higuchi and composed by Masahiro Tobinai [ja], it is a tie-in collaboration with Coca-Cola's mineral water brand I-Lohas.[7] Following the release of Re:Re:, it was announced that its opening theme is titled "Doppelganger", also written by Higuchi and composed by Tobinai.[8] The song was heard during Kessoku Band's first live concert in the film as an additional performance that was not depicted in the anime series.[9] The ending theme is a cover version of Asian Kung-Fu Generation's "Re:Re:", and features vocals by Yoshino Aoyama as the character Hitori Gotō. Both songs debuted on digital platforms on August 11 along with a lyric video for "Doppelganger".[8] Re:Kessoku Band was released by Aniplex on August 14, 2024.[10]
