Kenshi Yonezu – Spinning Globe

Kenshi Yonezu is a singer-songwriter who continues to captivate many listeners with his original, imaginative world.

Centered on themes of loss and rebirth, the lyrics of this piece resonate deeply, while the organic ensemble of piano and strings quietly stirs the listener’s emotions.

Marking the 100th song released under the name Kenshi Yonezu, it came out in July 2023 and was written as the theme song for Hayao Miyazaki’s film “The Boy and the Heron.” With a relatively narrow vocal range and a leisurely melody, it’s easy to hum along to even for those not confident in their singing.

It’s a beautiful yet powerful ballad, one to sing with care while savoring the lingering emotions of the story.

Kenshi Yonezu – Horse and Deer

Kenshi Yonezu is a singer-songwriter who enjoys immense popularity as a Vocaloid producer, and he garnered nationwide support with the massive success of his 8th single, “Lemon.” His 10th single, “Uma to Shika,” was created as the theme song for the TV drama “No Side Game,” and became a major hit, boosted by its collaboration with the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Though catchy, the melody is also complex, so you might only realize how challenging it is when you actually try singing it.

It’s a recommended ballad for men—one that delivers a heart-stirring message in a key that suits your own vocal range.

TV anime “Medalist” non-credit opening video | Kenshi Yonezu “BOW AND ARROW”

A melody as sharp as a blade gliding over ice, yet burning with passion, resonates in the heart.

Kenshi Yonezu’s “BOW AND ARROW,” released in January 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime Medalist, likens the bond between the figure-skating protagonist and their coach to a “bow and arrow,” brilliantly capturing the single-minded drive to push toward a goal.

Try listening to it at that decisive moment of competition to fire yourself up.

Kenshi Yonezu – Junk

Kenshi Yonezu’s new song “Garakuta.” Released as the theme song for the film “Last Mile,” it’s also included on his latest album, “LOST CORNER.” This track is one I’d especially love to hear sung by men with higher vocal ranges.

While the A and B sections aren’t particularly high, the chorus features parts where you switch repeatedly between falsetto and chest voice.

It’s a challenging chorus, but it really brings out the appeal of high-tenor voices, so I highly recommend it.

Be sure to check it out.

Kenshi Yonezu – I Was Looking at the Moon / Moongazing

A song written specifically for Final Fantasy XVI.

Kenshi Yonezu himself wrote and composed it, with Yuta Bandoh participating as arranger.

The track was released in June 2023 as a digital-only single.

Immersed deeply in the game’s world, Yonezu reportedly approached the production with a spirit of selfless devotion.

The music video, created by Yonezu in collaboration with OSRIN, unfolds an epic narrative that spans three parallel worlds.

Its lyrics, beautifully expressing love, bonds, and feelings for cherished people who have been lost, gain even greater depth when you play the game.

On a long autumn night, why not listen while thinking of someone dear to you?
