Dead or Love

Not every music video manages to pull off getting its own anime entry, but here we are — and honestly, that says something about how much this song landed. 'Dead or Love' is the ending theme for 'Nigashita Sakana wa Ookikatta ga Tsuriageta Sakana ga Ookisugita Ken,' performed by Yoshino and produced by the duo Hitoshizuku and Yama△, who have a solid reputation in the J-pop and vocaloid-adjacent world for crafting songs with real emotional weight. The track dropped as a digital single in April 2026, and if you've seen the anime it closes out — a show whose title roughly translates to 'The Fish That Got Away Was Big, But the Fish That Was Caught Was Too Big' — you'll know the ending theme has some emotional legwork to do. This music video is essentially the standalone visual companion to that song. It's a single episode, a few minutes of your time, and primarily of interest if you've watched the parent series or you follow Yoshino's work. Think of it less like watching an anime and more like watching a carefully produced closing credits sequence given room to breathe. If you enjoy J-pop music videos with anime aesthetics, or if you already finished 'Nigashita Sakana' and want to sit with the ending a little longer, this is worth pulling up. It's a small thing, but sometimes small things finish the picture.
