Kenshi Yonezu – Gray and Blue (+Masaki Suda)

This is a track whose beautiful, fleeting sound and lyrics—portraying the aching feelings of two childhood companions who grow apart as they become adults—strike straight at the heart.

Included on singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu’s album BOOTLEG, released in October 2017, the song also drew major attention for featuring actor Masaki Suda as a guest vocalist.

It contrasts the past, when they laughed together without a care, with the present, as they each walk their own path.

Its message—suggesting a bond that remains deep inside no matter how much time passes—gently encourages men setting out for different places.

After graduation, when you feel anxious or lonely about a new life ahead, why not listen to it while reminiscing about an old friend?

[BOOTLEG] Uchiage Hanabi Kenshi Yonezu

Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.

In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.

If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.

To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.

Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.

Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.

Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!

Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s drama theme song begins with a gentle, moist piano melody and expands into an electronic soundscape.

Written specifically for the Netflix original drama “Sayonara no Tsuzuki” and released digitally in November 2024, the track beautifully captures the poignant love story starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi.

It delicately portrays the sorrow of losing one’s dearest person in an accident and the complex emotions toward the stranger who inherits that person’s heart.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has experienced the loss of a lover or finds their feelings deepening for someone precious.

Kenshi Yonezu – Electric Shock

It’s a fast-paced, jazz-tinged track released in 2020.

It was written specifically as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “MIU404.” The song is sung with a somewhat languid feel, and adding falls could give it an even more stylish vibe.

Since it’s basically a song you can sing in chest voice, letting the tone taper off at the ends of phrases or shifting from chest voice to breathy tones should naturally create falls.

A delivery that holds the pitch to create some tension and then gently drops at the very end also seems to suit the song well.

Melancholy KitchenYonezu Kenshi10rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Melancholy Kitchen [RUS SUB] (【Kenshi Yonezu】Melancholy Kitchen)

The song Melancholy Kitchen is included on his second full-length album, YANKEE.

The ensemble, featuring funky guitar comping, creates a thrilling, spacious sound.

The tempo is fast and there are many rapid-fire phrases, making it hard to keep up, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there aren’t many large interval leaps, so it should be approachable to try.

It’s a stylish pop tune that feels exhilarating to finish singing at karaoke.
