Alongside brand-new footage from the film, the latest trailer for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle revealed two original theme songs: “A World Where the Sun Never Rises” by Aimer and “Shine in the Cruel Night” by LiSA. Both artists are no strangers to the franchise—Aimer’s “Zankyosanka” is already a fan favorite, and LiSA’s “Gurenge” is the song that probably the fans relate with Demon Slayer the most. The new songs will be released worldwide on all major streaming platforms on Friday, July 18, 2025.
In the trailer’s second half, fans can also catch a glimpse of the new music that sounds like an instrumental version of one of the upcoming themes, teasing the emotional showdown to follow.
Infinity Castle is the first installment in a trilogy adapting the climactic final arc of the series, which sees the Demon Slayer Corps infiltrating Muzan’s stronghold—the titular Infinity Castle.
Haruo Sotozaki directs Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle at anime studio Ufotable. Akira Matsushima is the Chief Animation Director and Character Designer, and the music is by Yuki Kajiura and Go Shiina.
The decision to adapt the climax of the Demon Slayer anime into movies comes on the back of the success of the Mugen Train film in 2020, which went on to gross over $507 million at the Global Box Office, becoming the Highest-Grossing Japanese Film of All Time.

The film even broke records for DVD and Blu-ray sales as it became the Third Best-Selling Anime Film on Home Media, only behind Ghibli’s Spirited Away and Totoro, selling over 1.67 million copies.
The Demon Slayer manga and anime are both a cultural phenomenon in Japan, and it really shows in both the medium’s commercial performances. In February 2019, before the premiere of the anime, the manga series had over 3.5 million copies in circulation, and by February 2021, a few months after the Japan release of the Mugen Train feature film, the manga series had already crossed over an insane 150 million copies in circulation.
The viewership on Traditional TV for the anime also remains hugely impressive. Demon Slayer Season 4, which premiered last year, achieved a mighty viewership of 14.7 million with its first episode, scoring an individual rating of 11.7% in Japan with Live and 7 Days of DVR Viewing.
The anime was also the Second Most-Watched TV Show in Japan during the week of its premiere, which is no small feat for an anime.
Demon Slayer is streaming on Crunchyroll.
