TV Anime Mebius Dust Original Soundtrack Release Announcement

The original soundtrack for the upcoming TV anime Mebius Dust is set to be released digitally on September 16, 2026. The score, crafted entirely by the acclaimed electronic musician DÉ DÉ MOUSE, accompanies the anime’s distinct narrative and immersive atmosphere.

Mebius Dust emerges from the creative vision of Hajime Shinagawa, whose original concept secured the Grand Prize in the “Kids’ Game Anime” category of Project ANIMA. This initiative, launched to foster original anime content in the 2020s, provided a platform for Shinagawa’s exploration of a post-catastrophe society.

The anime’s storyline unfolds a decade after a meteorite impact, centering on adolescents residing in a working-class district named Shinkatsushika. These youths grapple with newfound abilities termed “Rams,” bestowed upon them by exposure to mysterious particles known as Mebius Dust, emanating from a colossal crystal. Against this backdrop, the series delves into themes of survival, trauma, and coming-of-age struggles.

DÉ DÉ MOUSE, the stage name of Daisuke Endo, marks his first solo venture composing an entire anime soundtrack with this project. Known for his unique blend of nostalgic electronic textures and emotionally resonant melodies, Endo’s contributions deepen the storytelling through a sonic landscape that mirrors the anime’s blend of melancholy and hope.

In a concentrated creative sprint, Endo composed 55 tracks over the span of a month, working closely with the anime’s director to align musical themes with character development and narrative pacing. His compositions aim to translate the protagonists’ internal conflicts into auditory experiences, enhancing the viewer’s emotional connection.

Endo’s career, which began with his 2007 debut album tide of stars, is marked by innovative techniques such as “melody cut-up”—reconstructing sampled vocals into new arrangements—and a signature fusion of synthesizer-driven sounds with intricate chord progressions. His influence extends across Japan and internationally, bolstered by live performances at major festivals like Fuji Rock and taicoclub.

Beyond studio albums, Endo’s versatility is evident in his ventures into diverse musical styles, including VAPORWAVE-inspired tracks, cinematic jazz and orchestral pieces, and thematic electronica reflecting urban and cultural motifs. His works often incorporate programming, mixing, mastering, and even visual elements, underscoring his multifaceted artistry.

The Mebius Dust soundtrack will be available through major streaming and download platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music, among others. This release provides fans and newcomers alike the opportunity to experience the anime’s world through the evocative soundscapes crafted by DÉ DÉ MOUSE.

While further details about the anime’s broader reception and impact are yet to unfold, the collaboration between Shinagawa’s visionary storytelling and Endo’s musical innovation signals a noteworthy addition to contemporary anime production. The fusion of compelling narrative and nuanced electronic composition promises to resonate within both the anime and music communities.

The soundtrack release marks a significant milestone in both the career of DÉ DÉ MOUSE and the evolution of original anime projects emerging from initiatives like Project ANIMA.
