Kroi Release "SPIN" Recording Documentary; 2027 Tour Announced
Kroi has given fans an intimate look at how one of their biggest hits came together. The band has released a documentary-style video capturing the recording sessions for “SPIN,” their explosive anime theme that’s become a global phenomenon.
For those unfamiliar with Kroi, they’re a Japanese rock outfit known for their dynamic sound and theatrical visual presentation—a perfect fit for Visual Kei audiences seeking contemporary energy with cinematic flair. “SPIN” serves as the opening theme for Steel Ball Run: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and the song has transcended its anime ties to become a cultural moment in its own right.
The documentary footage reveals the creative process behind the track: band members workshopping arrangements, discussing the emotional core of the composition, and collaborating through trial and error. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes content that reminds us these theatrical productions are born from genuine musical craftsmanship.
The numbers speak for themselves. “SPIN” has accumulated over 30 million streams globally, while the non-credited opening animation alone has surpassed 20 million views. The official music video reached 8 million plays within its first month. On TikTok, the track has inspired over 125,000 user-generated covers, driving 130 million combined views—proof that Kroi’s reach now extends far beyond Japan’s borders.
The CD single dropped October 28, 2026, available in three formats: CD+Blu-ray (¥3,960), CD+DVD (¥3,960), and CD-only (¥1,320). Bonus content includes live sessions recorded at RAK Studios in London, featuring “Amber,” “Invasive,” “Method,” and “Kinetic.”
But there’s more: Kroi has announced the Kroi Live Tour 2027, hitting 15 cities across Japan from June through July. Venues range from Zepp halls to intimate club settings, with dates locked in for Fukuoka, Nagoya, Osaka, Tokyo, and beyond. Pre-sale access via CD purchase runs through November 10.
