- The song was produced by Neru, a charismatic Vocaloid producer known for creating addictive songs such as “Ashura-chan,” “Lost One’s Weeping” and “Dappou Rock,” which have received millions of views. Despite being the ending theme, the song captivates the audience with its memorable and catchy melody, transporting them into the world of the anime.
- The fact that Mafumafu performed the opening theme song and Neru performed the ending theme also attracted widespread attention. This is a combination that fans can’t miss!

Comments by Obuchi Nonoka
She is voice actress and singer Obuchi Nonoka. I will sing the ending song “Naked Shinzo” for the TV anime “The Mysterious Disappearance”.
Truth is indeed stranger than fiction. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve spent my evenings immersed in books and fascinated by the mysteries I found online. To my surprise, I had the opportunity to work on a production that combined both elements! I am honored to have this opportunity and amazed by this mysterious twist of fate.
Composed by Niru, the song has a fast tempo and a beautiful melody. This is an ending theme that evokes both a sense of sadness at the passing of the story and anticipation of future developments. I hope you enjoy the excitement at the end of each episode.
Neru’s comments
It is a great honor for me to write and compose the ending theme song, sung by Obuchi Nonoka.
Even though it was the ending song, I was asked to compose a song that matched the opening, and I tried my best to present an energetic song.
I sincerely hope you can further enjoy the world of mysterious disappearances through this music.
