“It has been a long time since ‘Wasted Nights,’ which was written for the first in the series, but we are very honored to be making a comeback in this way,” said ONE OK ROCK’s vocalist Taka. “We have created a song that is appropriate for ‘Kingdom’ by taking into account ‘various conflicts in the world and the current background of the times.’ Please enjoy the theme song ‘Delusion:All’ along with the movie.”The CD single of “Delusion:All” is set to release in Japan on July 12, 2024, as the band’s first single in 2024.
