The more dearly you care for someone, the more frightening the parting that will one day come.

Capturing such a delicate emotional landscape, this piece grips the listener’s heart.

It’s a track from the album “YANKEE,” released in April 2014, and it also drew attention as the song used in Tokyo Metro’s “Color your days.” ad campaign.

Although it was never released as a single, it enjoys overwhelming popularity, with over 300 million views on video platforms.

Its bittersweet yet warm melody is perfect for a heartfelt karaoke moment, singing while thinking of someone you hold dear.

It is a song that earnestly longs for a connection with someone far away, like constellations shining in the winter night sky.

Created by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu, it was released in February 2017 as his sixth single.

It was used as the ending theme for the TV anime March Comes in Like a Lion.

Its absorbing sound and a melody that hides fierce emotion within quietness create a profoundly rich world.

Kenshi Yonezu – Lemon

A song released in March 2018 as Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth single.

Written specifically as the theme for the TBS drama “Unnatural,” it has set an astonishing record with over 900 million views on YouTube.

The lyrics, which express feelings for a loved one who has been lost, portray the pain of bereavement and the bittersweetness of living on while carrying memories of that person, resonating deeply with listeners.

Its bouncy shuffle beat and dynamic melody make it quite challenging to sing at karaoke, but that only heightens the sense of accomplishment when you pull it off.

It’s a masterpiece that’s perfect for creating a reflective mood or livening up the room with a well-known classic.

The bittersweet feeling at summer’s end and the beauty of lights blooming in the night sky seep into the heart along with the piano’s flowing tones.

The way the emotion bursts open at the chorus after the quiet night air is exactly like the lights that color the night sky.

This work is a single released in August 2017 by the duo DAOKO and Kenshi Yonezu.

Chosen as the theme song for the animated film “Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?”, it became a major talking point.

A self-cover was later included on the album “BOOTLEG.” The interplay of male and female vocals is exquisite, giving you the sense of sharing the same view.

It’s a perfect pop tune to sing at karaoke with close friends while reminiscing about wonderful summer memories!

Kenshi Yonezu – Peace Sign

It’s the opening theme for season 2 of the anime “My Hero Academia.” Thanks to the anime’s popularity, the song is well-known and easy to sing along with right from the start.

The overall vocal range is D#3–G#4, and I think the key part is the sustained “ni” in the chorus.

When pronouncing the vowel “i,” people tend to pull the mouth sideways, which can tense the throat.

That makes high notes harder to hit, so you need to create space inside the mouth and carry the sound with your breath.

Try to match the timing and imagine projecting your voice diagonally upward from your eyebrows.

If you avoid over-enunciating the “ni” and aim for a humming-like sensation, it should be easier to sing!
