闇雲-yamikumo- "Hatred" Lands TV Tokyo ED Theme

Rising stars 闇雲-yamikumo- are having a moment. The hard-hitting visual kei loud rock group has just secured their latest single “Hatred” as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s music program “超⚡️超音波” (Chō Onpa), marking a significant mainstream breakthrough for the increasingly talked-about outfit.

“Hatred” is already proving its staying power—since the MV’s YouTube debut, the track has racked up over 120,000 views and captured the attention of Japan’s media landscape in a big way. For a loud rock group, that’s serious traction.

If you haven’t encountered 闇雲-yamikumo- yet, here’s what you need to know: they’re operating in the visual kei loud rock space with an uncompromising attack that refuses to play it safe. Their concept centers on being “saviors for people struggling in a difficult world”—heavy thematically, heavier musically. Their shows combine aggressive instrumentation, screams, and an otherworldly aesthetic that’s earned them a genuinely devoted following despite their relative youth as a group.

The momentum is undeniable. Last year’s one-man live sold out instantly; they added an emergency second show and have since filled every tour date. Their reach extends internationally too—overseas fans discovered them through social media and YouTube, and some have made the journey to catch them live in Japan. Major subcultural fashion brands are already collaborating with them, and their features in publications like Vijuttoke keep stacking up.

“Hatred” will air as the ending theme starting Friday, June 5, 2026, at 27:15 (3:15 AM) on TV Tokyo, continuing weekly on Friday nights. The program is hosted by Masuko Naosumi (Dokugashira-ten) and First Summer Uika.
