This episode analyzes how the Netflix anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners transformed an existing 2020 game track into a global streaming sensation. By integrating the song "I Really Want to Stay at Your House" into pivotal emotional scenes, the show recontextualized the music, leading to a massive resurgence on charts like Spotify's Viral 50. This phenomenon illustrates a shift in the modern music industry where cross-media intellectual properties and global streaming platforms drive success long after a song's initial release. The article highlights the synergy between Studio Trigger’s animation, the original game's world-building, and social media algorithms in creating this viral impact. Ultimately, the source frames this event as a definitive example of how narrative context can redefine and revitalize digital music consumption in the 21st century.【Related Column】Cyberpunk: Edgerunners — The day the anime brought its song back to number one in the worldhttps://monumental-movement.jp/en/column-cyberpunk-edgerunners/
