Kenshi Yonezu – Sayonara, See You Again Someday! “Tora ni Tsubasa” OP Title Back, Full – Kenshi Yonezu – Sayonara, Mata Itsuka!

Singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu wrote this song as the theme for NHK’s serial morning drama “Tora ni Tsubasa,” which began airing in April 2024.

The lyrics—gazing toward the past, the present, and even a hundred years into the future—are striking.

The soundscape, with its gentle, airy feel, is also wonderfully easy on the ears.

It’s a track where the upbeat, morning-drama vibe blends beautifully with Yonezu’s signature delicate sensibilities.

If you sing it as the first song at karaoke, it seems like it would warmly lift the mood of the gathering.

Kenshi Yonezu – Spring Thunder

A supreme track by Kenshi Yonezu, released in November 2017.

Likening the shock of first love to lightning, this piece captures the delicate sway of sweet romantic feelings and was unveiled as a track on the album “BOOTLEG.” Its energetic sound, which fuses electro and rock, harmonizes beautifully with lyrics that poetically weave feelings for another.

It’s a gem of a love song that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone carrying feelings for someone or wishing to bask in memories of their first love—especially in spring, when a new season begins.

Kenshi Yonezu – Mainichi (Every Day)

A warm cheer song by Kenshi Yonezu that portrays people who keep looking forward while carrying daily fatigue and a sense of powerlessness.

Its up-tempo feel and catchy melody are pleasant to the ear, offering comfort to those pressed by their busy days.

Released in May 2024 and written specifically as the theme for Japan Coca-Cola’s “Georgia” commercial, the song features lyrics inspired by Takuboku Ishikawa’s tanka poetry, depicting the struggles of work and life in a contemporary light.

Included on the album “LOST CORNER,” it showcases a light, breezy performance with seven dancers in the music video.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to as a reward to yourself—during your morning commute, a quick break at work, or when you want to unwind at the end of the day.

Kenshi Yonezu – Spirits of the Sea

Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “Umi no Yuurei,” released in June 2019, features a distinctly Japanese flavor and a fantastical melody, even among his works.

The A and B sections are somewhat subdued, and the moment the chorus begins, the pitch movement suddenly becomes very dramatic—making the song quite challenging in a straightforward musical sense.

While the piece employs mixed voice, falsetto also appears very frequently, so rather than strictly matching the original, it’s better to switch between falsetto and mixed voice within your own comfortable singing range.

Kenshi Yonezu – Metronome

A song that overlays the gradual misalignment of two people’s relationship with an instrument keeping a steady rhythm, conveying a poignant sense of missed connections that tugs at the heart.

Included on the 2015 album “Bremen,” this track powerfully conveys the helplessness of starting in the same tempo only to drift apart over time, as well as the lingering attachment that makes you keep searching for the other person even after you’ve parted.

The animated music video—hand-drawn by Kenshi Yonezu himself with about 200 illustrations—visually deepens the song’s world and leaves a strong impression.

For anyone with an unforgettable love or who has experienced growing apart from someone dear, this is a sorrowful yet beautiful ballad that resonates deeply.
