Japanese
hitmaker KENSHI YONEZU, released a new song “BOW AND ARROW”, a song written as the theme song for the
coming new anime series Medalist, streamed by Disney+ worldwide from

"I’ve
been an avid fan of the original manga. When I saw that the manga was going to
be made into an anime, I couldn’t resist reaching out to offer my music. That’s
how it led to the creation of “BOW AND ARROW”. It's a great manga, I urge every
human being to read this manga series. I'm also anticipating the anime as just
a viewer. Wait there for the song as well.” Yonezu shares.
