Japanese rock sensation KANA BOON has delivered yet another anime anthem with their newest single “SUPERNOVA,” now featured as the opening theme for the second cour of Dr. STONE: Science Future. The high octane track officially launched alongside the anime’s continuation on July 10, and is now available across streaming platforms and digital music stores. For fans of the band and the anime, this release marks a perfect synergy between energetic music and thrilling storytelling.
KANA BOON has long been celebrated in the anime music world, having contributed hits like “Silhouette” for Naruto Shippuden, “Starmarker” for My Hero Academia, and “Song of the Dead” for Zom 100. With “SUPERNOVA,” they channel a more intense and urgent energy that aligns with the escalating scientific battles Senku and his team face as they move closer toward unlocking the secrets of space exploration. The band shared that the song was crafted specifically for this arc of Dr. STONE, aiming to amplify the emotional and dramatic stakes of the narrative.
To accompany the song release, a dynamic music video also premiered, visually capturing the themes of progress and innovation. The video shows the band members in roles inspired by scientists and pioneers, visually reinforcing the spirit of curiosity and ambition that defines Dr. STONE. The band emphasized how the video and song together express imagination as the core force behind both music and science.
Dr. STONE: Science Future picks up where the last cour left off, with Senku Ishigami and his allies continuing their mission to restore humanity after a mysterious petrification event froze civilization for thousands of years. With humanity now slowly rebuilding its knowledge from the ground up, the anime shifts toward even more ambitious scientific goals. As the new season unfolds, the focus intensifies on the confrontation with Dr. Xeno and Stanley Snyder, whose strategic might challenges everything Senku has built.
The original Dr. STONE manga was written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Boichi. It concluded in 2022 after five years and 232 chapters of groundbreaking science fiction storytelling. The anime adaptation has since maintained the series' thrilling balance of discovery, danger, and determination. KANA BOON’s latest contribution only adds fuel to the fire, giving the opening a momentum that matches the evolving complexity of the plot.
With a rich visual treatment, bold instrumentation, and meaningful lyrics, “SUPERNOVA” encapsulates the very essence of the Dr. STONE universe. It is not just a song but a reflection of the human spirit pushing against the boundaries of what is possible. Fans can now experience the full version on streaming platforms or catch it each week as the anime unfolds further into uncharted scientific territory.
