The production team behind Cyborg 009: Nemesis — the new anime adaptation of Shōtarō Ishinomori‘s classic manga, produced by Ishimori Production — released the series’ main promotional video on Thursday. The trailer unveils the ending theme song “Climal” by Sukima Switch, a track the band originally released in July 2024, and officially confirms “Taga Tame ni” (For Whom) performed by Kyōko of the rock band Barbee Boys as the opening theme.
“Taga Tame ni” carries a storied legacy: it was originally used in the 1979 Cyborg 009 television anime, performed by Ken Narita and Koorogi ’73, with lyrics penned by Ishinomori himself.
