Kenshi Yonezu and Hikaru Utada perform the ending theme song "JANE DOE." Kenshi Yonezu also performs the film's theme song "IRIS OUT." Maximum The Hormone's "Hawatari Nioku Centi" (2-Hundred-Million-Centimeter-Long-Blades) appears as an insert song in the film. The film includes the "Hawatari Nioku Centi (Zentai Suitei 70% Kaikin edit)" (Estimated 70% Unredacted Edit) version of the song. The earlier television anime previously featured a shorter, 90-second version of the track as an ending song for episode 3 of the series. The band noted they did not release the longer version of the song until now, in part due to the second half of the lyrics referencing the character Reze.
