What You Need to Know:
- On Friday, June 11, ‘EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!’ and ‘YOU YOU YOU’ – the opening and closing theme tunes to the globally broadcast anime series ‘How Not to Summon a Demon Lord Ω’ – each get a brand-new remix. ‘EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY! (Tropical Disco REMIX)’ and ‘YOU YOU YOU (Kawaii Future Bass REMIX)’ are the fourth pair of remixes in this series, and each one is accompanied by a teaser video released the same day.
- This is the last in a series of remixes of the two songs that were originally performed by Yu Serizawa with DJ KOO & MOTSU. Released once a week over four consecutive weeks, all remixes in the series were handled by MOTSU, who is known for his unique fusion of DJ culture and anime songs; the project showcases the fun of anime songs for an audience all around the world.
- As the title suggests, ‘EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY! (Tropical Disco REMIX)’ is a refreshing slice of summer disco that is perfect for a carefree drive in the sunshine. Meanwhile, ‘YOU YOU YOU (Kawaii Future Bass REMIX)’ is a very different take on the original song – it has a techno vibe that will get you bouncing, yet cut through with a slightly chill edge.

Comment from Yu Serizawa
“I’m so happy that our songs ‘EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!’ and ‘YOU YOU YOU’ have reached such a wide audience! The songs have already received so much love, but these remixes have revealed infinite possibilities. I hope you will listen to them all and continue to love them for a long time to come! MOTSU is a genius!”
-Yu Serizawa
Comment from MOTSU
“Since we made the original songs, I managed to produce a total of eight remixes! I tried lots of techniques, like changing the key from major to minor, adding comical elements and remixing the songs every which way I could think of. I hope you enjoyed them! I believe these remixes were able to enhance the energetic charm of our songs, along with the appeal of the three of us who made them – SeriKoMo, as we like to call ourselves. I hope everyone will enjoy singing and dancing along to these tracks, and maybe you can even make your own remixes – enjoy ‘EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!’ and ‘YOU YOU YOU’ in any way you like!”
-MOTSU
