The new track “Blue” is the first release from MILLENNIUM PARADE in nearly two years and has been selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “THE GHOST IN THE SHELL”, which is now available on all streaming platforms.
“Blue” features globally acclaimed artists Saya Gray and Daniel Caesar, and began taking shape around three years ago when Daiki Tsuneta and Saya Gray started working on it together. Daniel Caesar later joined the project which brought the song to completion.
Daiki Tsuneta and Saya Gray commented:
“This track ‘Blue’ was first created three years ago in the studio with Saya, and has reached its completion through Danny joining, whom I met while travelling. I’ve always admired the sheer talent of these two musicians, and the completed track has turned out to be truly incredible so I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
Daiki Tsuneta
“Working with Daniel and Daiki was spicy fun and the blending of worlds and cultures is very exciting.”
Saya Gray
In addition, the fourth anime promotional video featuring “Blue” has also been released so please check it out.

Saya Gray profile
Japanese-Canadian artist Saya Gray has a unique ability to create a collage of sounds that feel both comforting and disorienting, vast yet intimate. Her first releases, 2022’s ‘19MASTERS’ , 2023’s ‘QWERTY I’ and 2024’s 'QWERTY II' were made in periods of intense isolation, and as Saya herself describes it, she puts ‘1000 personalities in one song’. It’s this unfiltered, frenzied approach to her art that she feels is necessary to reclaim her sense of self in an ever changing world - and in the process marking her as one of the most exciting, up and coming musicians operating today. 2025 was a landmark year for Saya as she released her debut album ’SAYA” - by far her most personal and intimate project to date.

Daniel Caesar profile
Daniel Caesar's Son Of Spergy is about reconciliation; specifically, with his father. It’s both deeply contemplative and powerful in this examination, while still honoring the most exciting aspect of Caesar’s artistry: the album is compositionally and melodically breathtaking. His most profound and vulnerable project to date, Son Of Spergy features Daniel Caesar coming to terms with all the ways he’s his father’s son; for better and for worse. As such, the LP is a reflection on how Daniel wants to live his life. As a wildly successful artist at such a young age, Caesar lived much of his 20s in self-indulgence. The only people who really ever told him no, whoever truly held him accountable, were his family members. He bristled at this, mistaking care for control.
he turned 30, he felt as if he had matured a full dozen years all at once. Son Of Spergy is the aftermath. From the intoxicating folk pop of “Root Of All Evil,” to the Bon Iver-assisted “Moon,” Caesar spends the album interrogating himself in pursuit of purer, healthier relationships. He wants to be good; Son Of Spergy is a defining step towards that goal. While writing the album, Caesar aimed to animate his thoughts on a few core concepts: his own purpose on this Earth, what he means in relation to his parents, and how the world will change when he’s gonna be a dad. It couldn’t exist without all of these contexts, because they’re all him. Even when Daniel Caesar was writing about other people, he was really writing about himself, too: “All my songs are really about me, but at the same time, we are who we are in relation to other people. I am Spergy and Hollis’ son. No one exists in a vacuum,” he explains, before adding a line that has to make it onto a future Daniel Caesar album: “Nothing is nothing unless it's relative to something.”
