‘Racing Into The Night’ came out at the tailend of a year where similar pop units consisting of producers hailing from the Vocaloid realm and singers were enjoying newfound mainstream attention.
Second, ‘Racing Into The Night’ centers the artist and the artist’s actual abilities at the forefront. The moment where YOASOBI went from an online hit to something more mainstream came after YouTube channel The First Take shared a clip of Ikuta delivering a version of the song while being filmed in one go.
The YouTube video quickly shot over 20 million views (currently nearing 25 million), and ‘Racing Into The Night’ currently sits on top of the Japan Top 50 on Spotify while also holding number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 in Japan.
Yoru ni Kakeru or Racing into the Night in English is based from the novel Temptation of Thanatos. Well... to make it short its romance wherein the man loves a woman who is attracted to death and tries to commit suicide everytime.
BeastarsIn November 2020, Yoasobi announced that they would handle the themes of the second season of the anime television series Beastars. Its opening theme, "Kaibutsu", was released digitally on January 6, 2021, the same date as The Book, while "Yasashii Suisei", its ending theme, on January 20.
In the last chorus it becomes clear that narrator himself was a Thanatos and that his significant other was the real reaper tempting him to end it. The song ends with the both of them collapsing of the building racing into the night. In short this song is about two lovers commiting suicide.
It was announced that producer duo YOASOBI, a band that creates “music from novels,” has topped Billboard Japan Year-End Charts with a song that has yet to be released on a CD. The chart-topping hit “Yoru Ni Kakeru” is No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 of the Year list.
Yoru Ni Kakeru: a song centered around depression and suicide which Tiktokers love to dance to for some reason.
