"Demachiyanagi Parallel Universe" (出町柳パラレルユニバース) is a song by Japanese rock band Asian Kung-Fu Generation. The song was initially pre-released digitally on September 21, 2022, with the full single being released (digitally and physically) a week later on September 28, 2022. It is the opening theme to anime series The Tatami Time Machine Blues,[1] a sequel to The Tatami Galaxy which the band also provided the opening theme for (Maigoinu to Ame no Beat).[2][3]
The single also features a cover of Weezer's I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams, sung with AAAMYYY from Tempalay. The other B-sides include a duet between Gotoh and Kita for Oppama Feelin' Down, and an alternate version of the A-side called Yanagikōji Parallel Universe. Yanagikōji Parallel Universe is a continuation of the band's previous album Surf Bungaku Kamakura, where each track is named after a station on the Enoshima Electric Railway.[4]
It is the first single from the band to include three new songs as B-sides since Blue Train.
