The official YouTube channel for Who-ya Extended has started streaming the music video for their fifth CD single, "ICARUS." This song is featured as the ending theme for the fall 2026 TV anime series, PSYREN. Who-ya Extended is a creative musical unit led by vocalist Who-ya.

The CD single for "ICARUS" is scheduled for release on November 18, 2026. Who-ya Extended debuted in 2019 and is recognized by anime fans for their previous theme songs for series such as PSYCHO-PASS and JUJUTSU KAISEN.

Artist's Vision for "ICARUS"

Who-ya Extended shared a comment on the PSYREN anime's official website regarding their new song. They stated that after reading the original manga, they created "ICARUS" with the intention of conveying the desire to forge one's own path and future, even if it leads to challenges, rather than adhering to external definitions of correctness. The unit expressed their hope that "ICARUS" will be cherished for a long time, much like the PSYREN manga itself. They also conveyed their excitement for the long-awaited anime adaptation and its broadcast.

The PSYREN TV anime, a suspense-action series, premiered in Japan on October 5, 2026. It is directed by Katsumi Ono at animation studio SATELIGHT, with series composition by Shin Yoshida, character designs by Akira Okuma, and music by Takashi Ohmama, Tatsuhiko Saiki, and Shu Kanematsu. Crunchyroll is streaming the PSYREN TV anime for members globally, excluding Japan and China.
