Closing Theme “Daeto” by Naoto Inti Raymi

Season 15’s ending theme is “Daeto”—a single by singer-songwriter Naoto Inti Raymi. The upbeat title contrasts the show’s eerie tone, creating an uncanny aftertaste as credits roll. In the announcement, Naoto commented (translated):

“I wanted ‘Daeto’ to feel like stepping out of darkness into the warmth of a fading sunset—much like leaving the storyteller’s shadow behind.” 

Expect an arrangement that fuses acoustic guitars with subtle Japanese percussion, giving viewers a moment of catharsis before the next nightmare.
