DIGIMON BEATBREAK, which premiered on Fuji TV on October 5, 2025, wrapped its year-long run with episode 49 on September 27. Three days later, on September 30, Nippon Columbia releases the original soundtrack: a 3-disc CD set at 5,500 yen tax-in (COCX-42751 to 42753). The music, of course, is by Arisa Okehazama.

The Busiest Composer in Anime Ran a Full-Year Series Solo

DIGIMON BEATBREAK is produced by Toei Animation, directed by Hiroaki Miyamoto, with series composition by Ryota Yamaguchi. It is set in a near future where an energy called "e-Pulse" powers AI devices called Sapotama. Protagonist Tomoro Tenma meets Gekkomon, who emerges from his own Sapotama, and joins a "Cleaner" team that hunts dangerous Digimon feeding on human e-Pulse. As the producer said, the show targets late teens and twentysomethings, and it carried a harder, darker tone than earlier Digimon series.

Okehazama was born in 1993 and raised near the historic Okehazama battlefield in Aichi Prefecture. After music school and years as a composer's assistant, she began full-time composing in 2020, and has since appeared on major titles such as Jujutsu Kaisen and The Apothecary Diaries. This site covered her solo score for The Princess Knight and the Barbarian Bride earlier this year, and her three simultaneous assignments in the autumn 2026 season. Nippon Columbia's release describes her two strengths as "flashy EDM-style tracks built on synthesizers" and "emotional character pieces." Scoring 49 episodes over a full year alone would have demanded both at full throttle.

The Main Theme "Resonance" Becomes "Tomorrow" in Episode 48

The track I most want to talk about is "Tomorrow," placed at Disc 3, track 17. It is sung by Chica, and it is the main theme "Resonance" rebuilt as an English-language vocal song, first heard in episode 48 on September 20. A melody that supported the story as an instrumental for an entire year finally stands up as a song right before the climax. As a use of score, it is about as classic, and as effective, as it gets. Nippon Columbia's announcement calls it "a special piece in which the main theme's memorable melody becomes vocal expression."

  • What's included: Okehazama's score, plus the insert songs "Edge of Limit" and "Answer" performed by Yagitaro., the opening theme "Mad Pulse" by MADKID, and TV-size versions of the four ending themes heard over the year.
  • Structure in the titles: "Resonance," "One for All," "Broken Groove," "Ghost Note," "Analysis," "Yasashii Uso." Fitting for a show with "beat" in its name, many cues are named with musical terms.
  • Jacket: a newly drawn illustration of Tomoro Tenma immersed in music.

A First-Press Bonus That Leads Straight to the Concert Hall

The enclosed bonus is an advance-lottery application ticket for "DIGIMON CONCERT ~ 2026 Anniversary & BEATBREAK ~," to be held December 28 and 29 at Tokyo International Forum Hall C. According to Toei Animation's official page, the concert will feature live performances of music from BEATBREAK alongside four anniversary series: Digimon Tamers, Digimon Savers, Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters, and Digimon Ghost Game. General sales begin in early November through Ticket Pia. Giving soundtrack buyers the first shot at hearing the music live is a smart way to keep a score from ending at the last track.

Reading a Year of Score Across Three Discs

The score of a four-cour TV anime plays under the action week after week, so there is rarely a chance to grasp it as a whole. Three discs are exactly what it takes to relisten to "a year's worth" in one sitting. My suggested listening: put "Resonance" from the start of Disc 1 next to "Tomorrow" on Disc 3. Nothing shows more clearly how one melody changed its expression over a year of story. Now that the broadcast is over, this soundtrack works as the answer key.
