Halloween Party -Poupelle Ver.- on YouTube

Hyde self-covered the song for the opening theme of the 2020 anime film Poupelle of Chimney Town.[5] Since it is different from the original song, this rendition has the subtitle "-Poupelle Ver.-" (-プペルVer.-). Based on the script and storyboards, the image of the town that is the subject of the movie is imaged, and the brass has an industrial arrangement. In addition, some lyrics have been changed to match the content of the movie, and child singers also participated.[6]
