Psyren Anime Taps Who-ya Extended for Ending Theme ICARUS
Psyren ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2008 to 2010 and was nominated three times for AnimeJapan's Manga We Want to See Animated Ranking, so the adaptation arrives with a settled readership and a theme song from a unit that has already sung over Jujutsu Kaisen and PSYCHO-PASS 3.

The TV anime adaptation of Psyren has set Who-ya Extended's new song ICARUS as its ending theme. The Satelight production is directed by Katsumi Ono, with Shin Yoshida on series composition and Shiro Okuma on character design. Episode 1, titled Urban Legend, airs October 5, the same day streaming begins; Mie TV joins the broadcast from October 7.
Who-ya Extended's ICARUS gets an advance streaming release on October 6 and a full release on November 18. The unit debuted in 2019 with the PSYCHO-PASS 3 opening theme and has passed 200 million streaming plays worldwide.
NTT East is also running a collaboration event, Tsunagaru Public Phone -Psyren Immigration Inspection-, placing an original public phone on the streets of Shibuya for a limited time. Participants answer a survey at the receiver, hear character voices recorded for the event, and receive a card styled after the telephone card from the manga plus an original sheet on how to use a public phone.
