Milan Records announced today that Japanese singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu’s new single “PLAZMA” is now available on several music streaming platforms. The song serves as the main theme for the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- anime film.
“PLAZMA” features electrifying vocals from Yonezu, alongside high-tempo synths and electronic rhythms that match the epic space mecha battles. The song’s release was first announced on the opening night of Yonezu’s 2025 Japanese tour, where he performed the new track live as an exclusive preview.
Yonezu has previously contributed theme songs for Hayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron, the Final Fantasy XVI video game, and his opening theme for the Chainsaw Man TV anime series.
GKIDS will screen Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- in North American theaters starting February 28, 2025. The film first premiered in Japan on January 17, 2025 and is a theatrical re-edit that uses some scenes from the upcoming Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX TV anime series’ episodes.
The anime was first announced in December 2024 as a studio khara and Sunrise co-production helmed by FLCL‘s Kazuya Tsurumaki.
GKIDS describes the main synopsis of Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- as:
Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.
Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji. Now their world is about to enter a new era.
