"Adrena" (Japanese: アドレナ, Hepburn: Adorena) is a song by Japanese duo Yoasobi. It was released as a single on January 4, 2026, through Echoes and Sony Music Entertainment Japan. The song serves as the opening theme for the 2026 anime series Hana-Kimi, and was based on Fuyu Tsuyama's short story Magical.

Background and release

Aniplex first announced an anime adaptation of the manga series Hana-Kimi in May 2024.[1] On September 14, 2025, at Aniplex Online Fest 2025, it was announced that Yoasobi would perform opening and ending themes for the anime series, set to premiere in January 2026.[2][3] On November 8, the songs, alongside their titles—opening theme "Adrena" and ending theme "Baby"—and snippets, were revealed through the anime's promotional video.[4]

On January 1, 2026, Yoasobi announced the release of "Adrena" for the next three days, the same day as the anime's premiere, via digital music and streaming platforms.[5] Its cover artwork, illustrated by Naji Yanagida, features the anime protagonist Mizuki Ashiya.[6] The limited double A-side CD single, alongside "Baby", was released on March 4.[7]

Composition and lyrics

Fuyu Tsuyama wrote the short story Magical specifically for "Adrena". Published on the Hana-Kimi anime's website on January 3, 2026, it depicts a prequel to Mizuki's feelings for her love interest, Izumi Sano, and her experiences at school since then.[8] Lyrically, the song expresses the protagonist's exhilaration and confusion and "straightforward yet awkward" and unrelenting love, as she pursues her dream boy, driven by "up-tempo pop track with comical sound and dizzying electronic developments".[9][10]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Adrena" premiered on January 6, 2026. Directed by Tsuribu Tokyo, who previously handled Yoasobi's "Players" music video, the comical 3D-animated visual features characters from Hana-Kimi, including protagonist Mizuki, who runs, flies, and passes each other amid a chaotic atmosphere.[11]

Live performances

Yoasobi performed "Adrena" for the first time at Pentatonic music festival on January 24, 2026, at Yokohama Buntai.[12]
