**Kaikaikitan** (廻廻奇譚, *kaikaikitan*) is the 4th digital single released. The song is also featured in the EP album "Kaikaikitan / Ao no Waltz".

## Background

It was first announced on 11 August, 2020 that Eve will be performing the first opening theme for the TV anime "Jujutsu Kaisen". The first teaser of the song was revealed in the anime's 3rd promotion video. The full song is later released and debuted on the week's Billboard JAPAN's Anime Song Chart at 10th place.

### Eve's comment:

> "I remembered how excited I was when I heard that the series I liked and had been reading was getting an Anime adaptation, and was deeply moved to be given the chance to sing it's opening theme. There were a lot of moments that made me think abut the life and struggles of Itadori-kun, who's straightforward with who he is. I wrote the music thinking about how I can accompany this energetic work. I'm looking forward to the time when the anime will be shown on TV."

The Eve MV version was later released in collaboration with Studio MAPPA being in charge of the original Animation. It reached 10 million views within 12 days after its release. The lyrics in the video were designed by ZUMA, who wanted them to closely resemble the Jujutsu Kaisen logo, while making them a bit eerie.

In the Live Film version, Eve commented how it would be a long time before he would be able to perform live, after cancelling 2 live performances due to the 2020 pandemic. Eve thought it would be nice if people can get the sense of the atmosphere of his live concerts, and that it would be something nice for overseas listeners as well. The costume Eve wore during for the film was later given away as part of the prize for the Yoruwa Honoka LINE MUSIC release campaign.

Kaikaikitan won 1st place in Daily & Weekly in UtaTen lyrics ranking on 4th March, 2021. He commented being happy to have had the lyrics be seen by so many people. As there is many difficult words and readings, Eve states it feels nice when you are able to sing it and to try singing it like it's a chant.

It was also ranked 7th place in AnisongHa Project song awards 2020.

## Release Campaign

From 3rd October to 11th October, Applicants were to screenshot the song in their music library on Apple Music, LINE Music or Spotify. 20 winners will receive a not-for-sale exclusive "Kaikaikitan" Outerwear.

有象無象 人の成り

虚勢 心象 人外 物の怪みたいだ

虚心坦懐 命宿し

あとはぱっぱらぱな中身なき人間

寄せる期待 不平等な人生

才能もない 大乗 非日常が

怨親平等に没個性

辿る記憶 僕に

居場所などないから

夢の狭間で泣いてないで

どんな顔すればいいか わかってる

だけどまだ応えてくれよ

闇を祓って 闇を祓って

夜の帳が下りたら合図だ

相対して 廻る環状戦

戯言などは 吐き捨ていけと

まだ止めないで まだ止めないで

誰よりも聡く在る 街に生まれしこの正体を

今はただ呪い呪われた僕の未来を創造して

走って 転んで 消えない痛み抱いては

世界が待ってる この一瞬を

抒情的 感情が 揺らいでいくバグ

従順に従った欠陥の罰

死守選択しかない愛に無常気

声も出せないまま

傀儡な誓いのなき百鬼夜行

数珠繋ぎなこの果てまでも

極楽往生 現実蹴って 凪いで

命を投げ出さないで

内の脆さに浸って

どんな顔すればいいか わかんないよ

今はただ応えてくれよ

五常を解いて 五常を解いて

不確かな声を紡ぐイデア

相殺して 廻る感情線

その先に今 立ち上がる手を

ただ追いかけて ただ追いかけて

誰よりも強く在りたいと願う 君の運命すら

今はただ 仄暗い夜の底に

深く深く落ちこんで

不格好に見えたかい

これが今の僕なんだ

何者にも成れないだけの屍だ 嗤えよ

目の前の全てから 逃げることさえやめた

イメージを繰り返し

想像の先をいけと

闇を祓って 闇を祓って

夜の帳が下りたら合図だ

相対して 廻る環状戦

戯言などは 吐き捨ていけと

まだ止めないで まだ止めないで

誰よりも聡く在る 街に生まれしこの正体を

今はただ呪い呪われた僕の未来を創造して

走って 転んで 消えない痛み抱いては

世界が待ってる この一瞬を
