Turnstile’s “Birds” won the Grammy for Best Metal Performance in 2026. On NEVER ENOUGH: VERSIONS, released August 28, the band handed that same song to two artists on opposite ends of the genre spectrum: death metal act Dying Fetus, who turned it into an actual death metal track, and pop musician Slayyyter, who turned it into pop. Both versions sit on the same 22-track tracklist, next to reworks from Elton John and Julien Baker. The Grammy decided what genre “Birds” belongs to. Turnstile let two artists disagree with it on the same record.

NTT DOCOMO is shutting its two-year-old U.S. manga app MANGA MIRAI on December 15, migrating libraries to MangaPlaza, an 18-and-up service that permanently locks out anyone who signed up as a minor.

DOCOMO is asking users to decide whether to trust the migration two weeks before it says what doesn’t survive it.

King Gnu’s “GO GHOST” opened the new THE GHOST IN THE SHELL on July 29, with millennium parade’s “Blue” closing it.

The ending brings in the outside names instead, where Canadian artists Daniel Caesar and Saya Gray sing on “Blue.”
