The sixth Shonen Jump music video will feature “Silhouette” from Naruto. It will premiere on July 22, 2023 at 2:00 AM PT/4:00 AM CT. The thumbnail so far shows Kakashi and Obito during their battle against each other. It will likely focus on their relationship, much like how another Naruto trailer focused on Naruto and Sasuke. For Kakashi and Obito, it’ll probably start from their time together on Team Minato and end with their antagonistic relationship in the series proper.
Previous Weekly Shonen Jump music videos included “Haruka Kanata” from Naruto, “Samurai Heart (Some Like It Hot!!)” from Gintama, and “Asterisk” from Bleach. The trailers animated art from the manga and featured scenes from the entire series. It didn’t only focus on the arc that the song was from. The trailers also only used the TV cut of the song, which means they’re about a minute and a half long.
“Silhouette” by Kana-Boon was the sixteenth opening for Naruto: Shippuden. At its peak, it was in eleventh place on the Oricon charts and in second place on the Japan Hot 100 chart. Because it achieved over 250,000 downloads, the Recording Industry Association of Japan gave it a Platinum certificate in August 2018. You can watch the music video for “Silhouette” here.
The “Silhouette” trailer for Naruto will premiere on the Shonen Jump YouTube channel on July 22, 2023. There is also a Minato trailer, likely to commemorate Minato’s one-shot after he won the Naruto character popularity poll.
