AURORA’s Anime-Inspired Track “You Can’t Run From Yourself” Arrives Ahead of Kaiju No. 8 S2
AURORA releases heartfelt opening theme “You Can’t Run From Yourself” for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2.
Norwegian artist AURORA debuts her latest work, “You Can’t Run From Yourself (from Kaiju No. 8),” written as the opening theme for the highly awaited Season 2 of the anime series. Released via Capitol Records, the song connects deeply with the emotional core of the show.
With introspective lyrics and AURORA’s signature sonic atmosphere, the track mirrors the internal conflict of Kafka Hibino, a man torn between human duty and Kaiju identity.
AURORA describes the creative process: “‘You Can’t Run From Yourself (from Kaiju No. 8)’ was written for those who know the struggle between light and darkness…”
Featured in the widely viewed trailer “A New Threat,” which has already passed 1.5 million views, the track previews the emotional highs of Season 2, premiering July 19 on TV Tokyo.
As Kafka faces powerful forces and his own inner demons, AURORA’s contribution adds a meaningful sonic layer to this next chapter. For fans of both anime and music, the release is a meeting of artistic minds.
