If you’ve been vibing with the moody neon glow and mysterious feels of Kowloon Generic Romance, you’ll want to clear your playlists — 'cause a shiny new track has just dropped from the series' eclectic soundtrack. Singer-songwriter mekakushe’s “Watashi Dake no Polaris” (My One and Only Polaris), featured in Episode 7 of the anime, officially landed on streaming platforms on 18 May.
And trust us — it’s an absolute treat.

Serving as a soft yet sparkling follow-up to the series' popular ED theme “Koi no Retronym”, this latest track weaves that same nostalgic charm with a more fluttery, upbeat twist. Think star-chasing under city skies, but with a candyfloss edge. The tune’s got a breezy energy to it — the kind that tiptoes straight into your heart and leaves behind glitter.
Written and composed by mekakushe herself, and arranged by the ever-reliable Ryohei Sakata (from Hifumi Inc.), “Polaris” comes wrapped in delicate layers of sentiment and melody. It’s got that feeling of stumbling across a moment you didn’t realise you were waiting for — sweet, fleeting, and just a little bit magical.
The full digital single is now up on all major platforms, so whether you're Team Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever-you-get-your-vibes, it's right there waiting for you.
And for those of you who are already humming it from Episode 7 — you're in luck. A TV-size lyric video is out now on YouTube, packed with dreamy visuals and the kind of subtle melancholy that Kowloon does best.
Here’s where to catch all the goods:

A little background for the newbies: Kowloon Generic Romance is the latest manga-turned-anime from Jun Mayuzuki, the creator behind After the Rain.
With over 1.4 million copies sold, the manga’s a slow-burn sensation, mixing sci-fi mystery, surreal urban vibes, and just the right dose of aching romance. No wonder the music slaps too.
And mekakushe? She’s been making quiet waves in the indie scene for a while, known for her poetic lyrics and warm, otherworldly sound. With “Polaris”, she’s officially in her anime era — and we’re loving it.
Whether you're deep into the plot of Kowloon or just here for the vibes, “Watashi Dake no Polaris” is the kind of track that'll have you replaying scenes in your head — or just gazing out the window pretending you're in a melancholy romcom.
More anime music updates coming soon, but for now — Polaris is yours. Don’t lose sight of it.
