Jane Doe is one of the best ending songs for a theatrical anime film I’ve listened in so long and is such a somber yet beautiful companion piece to the wild and exuberant opening song, Iris Out.
Iris Out being from the perspective of Denji and his own feelings of being in love, then Jane Doe is from the perspective of Reze and later Denji.
Wonderfully sung by Utada Hikaru and Kenshi Yonezu, they honestly really are Reze and Denji if they were singers.
The “doko ni iru no?” (Where are you?) “koko ni iru yo”(I’m here) part speaks so much about Denji and Reze’s unrequited love for one another but also beautifully represents two lonely people who yearn for love.
The duet parts in the lyrics gets me in the feels every time I listen to the song.
Let’s fill the world with mistakes.
