Bandai Namco Filmworks has revealed that the iconic rock track “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses will be featured as the ending theme for the new Gundam film, MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM HATHAWAY The Sorcery of Nymph Circe. The announcement was made on January 29, 2026, in Los Angeles.
This marks a notable collaboration between the classic rock band and the long-running Gundam franchise, blending Western rock music with Japanese anime culture. Fans of both the band and the series can expect a unique auditory experience accompanying the film’s conclusion.
**Why this matters**
The choice of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” highlights the growing trend of international music integration in anime productions, potentially broadening the audience for both the film and the band. It also underscores the continued global appeal of the Gundam series, which frequently incorporates diverse artistic elements to enhance its storytelling.
