Unlike the opening, Chainsaw Man’s first season is supposed to feature 12 unique ending songs. Each of the tracks is composed by some of the most talented names in the industry. The complete list of ending soundtracks is as follows:
Note: MAPPA Studios hasn’t confirmed which track will be used as the ending for which episode. The sequence in the above list doesn’t correspond with the episodes that feature the song. We will update this guide as the ending song order gets revealed with each episode’s release.
Featured at the end of the Chainsaw Man pilot episode, this song is performed by Vaundy, a young Japanese music producer, composer, songwriter, and designer.
Talking about the track on the anime’s official website, Vaundy said (translated from Japanese to English), “In making the song, I re-read the original many times, biting and swallowing the taste of Chainsaw Man that I got from that, and I think I was able to make the music that I thought was appropriate for this work.“
The ending song for the second episode of Chainsaw Man has been composed and performed by the mysterious band ZUTOMAYO. Well, ZUTOMAYO is short for Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni, which translates to “It would be good if it were always midnight.” Not much is known about this Japanese rock band, except for the fact that ACA-Ne is their vocalist.

I am very honored. I would like to enjoy Chainsaw Man’s anime with everyone like me who has been addicted to reading.”
Episode 5 Ending Song – In The Backroom by syudou
Adding to the list along with TOOBOE, we have another Vocaloid producer called “syudou” who’s contributed to the ending song list of the Chainsaw Man anime. He is well-known for using Hatsune Miku in their musical creations, but this track shows off emotions in a darker, different light, suitable to the anime.
Adding to the list of Vocaloid producers leading the charge on the ending song catalog for Chainsaw Man, we have Kanaria for week 6. The sixth ending song for CSM has been produced and performed by Kanaria, and here is what they had to say about this opportunity:
The seventh ending song for Chainsaw Man anime is called Chu, Tayousei (or All kinds of kisses) and has been performed by ano. She started her career in a Japanese idol girl group, You’ll Melt More, back in 2012. However, ano took her cute and sweet voice toward a solo career in 2019. The best thing about this song is the music video attached above, which shows Denji’s first kiss in a fun, light, and glittery manner.
Well, TK from Ling Tosite Sigure needs no introduction. Anime fans recognize him as the creator of the famous opening track of Tokyo Ghoul, i.e. unravel. And now, fans of Pochita also get a gift from TK in the form of the eighth ending song of the Chainsaw Man anime – First Death.
