Opening Theme Song: “Bubble” performed by yorushika

<Message from yorushika>
The song Bubble was written around the idea of tautology—that is, repetition, the restating of the same meaning in different words. It is about us, about the activities that make up our living—our lives themselves. Or perhaps you could say it is about the activities of living. In other words, life.

Life is repetition.
To repeat, again and again.
To return to something, to revisit it, to draw the same motif without changing the subject—like sketching the same drawing over and over.
A bubble rises.
It surfaces again and again.
And then it disappears.
Let me call it, simply, a bubble.

Within the life we live—inside that life, within its inner interior—something is born.
Something emerges. Something is produced.
Or perhaps I should say: it is born within that interior inside.
And I continue searching for what that something is.
Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I am still searching.
Yes, searching.
Nothing truly new is new.
There is only the first repetition.

We look at the motif before our eyes from countless angles.
We observe it, draw it again and again, express it in different forms, output it in new ways.
That activity—that daily act—is life itself.
These lyrics are an expression of the fire within me: the flame, the heat, the light being released.
But at the same time, I love the sincerity of repeating the same thing, stubbornly and honestly.

I hope that kind of stubborn repetition will resonate with the characters of LIAR GAME—with her, and with him.
That it will overlap with them.
That it will meet them.

And so, I hope for that.
I wish for it.
And I pray for it.

<Artist Biography>
yorushika is a band consisting of n-buna (formerly Vocaloid P composer) and suis (female singer). yorushika's music attracts many listeners with their literary lyrics and stories and lyrical sounds, created by n-buna, and the transparent voice of suis.

Ending Theme Song: “Asahi” performed by Lucky Kilimanjaro

<Message from Lucky Kilimanjaro>
Sometimes we lose our way, feel discouraged, and try to hide ourselves in the darkness.
When we thought about Nao Kanzaki's unwavering belief in others, we felt something like a light that shines into that darkness and leads us back toward a brighter place. That feeling became the inspiration for this song.

After the intense psychological battles of LIAR GAME leave your mind overheated, we hope this track offers a moment of warmth and relief.

We hope you enjoy it.

<Artist Biography>
Lucky Kilimanjaro is a six-member band formed by friends who met in a university music club.
The band's self-coined theme, “to make everyday life around the world dance,” perfectly reflects both their musical style and their spirit. But what they set in motion isn't just the dance floors of live houses and clubs.
From yesterday to today, and into tomorrow — Lucky Kilimanjaro brings rhythm and movement to the flow of everyday life itself, making not only the music venues but also our daily lives and hearts dance.

■ Introduction
A Mysterious Invitation. One Hundred Million Yen. The Game Begins.

To survive, she turns to Shinichi Akiyama, a brilliant former con artist with unmatched intellect.
As they dive deeper into the twisted game, the two must outwit opponents in a world where trusting others could be fatal.
