Hitsujibungaku previously wrote “Dogs” for the Netflix series. In a comment accompanying the announcement, the band said working on that song pushed its sound in new directions. “Dispel” revisits the music they once played in small, dark venues, while its lyrics bring a gentler outlook toward the future. The band credited Sins of Kujo with making both songs possible.
Formed in 2011, Hitsujibungaku currently consists of vocalist and guitarist Moeka Shiotsuka and bassist Yurika Kasai. The band made its major debut through Sony Music Labels’ F.C.L.S. in August 2020 and has contributed theme songs to JUJUTSU KAISEN and Oshi no Ko.
