[Too Emotional Warning] orion/Kenshi Yonezu × COSMOS/Choir Song 2024 ver.

By pairing Kenshi Yonezu’s signature song “orion” with the choral piece “COSMOS” as partner songs, you can create a compelling sonority that differs from singing each one on its own.

Released in 2017, Kenshi Yonezu’s “orion” calls for delicately conveying feelings through the vocals, bringing out the song’s lyrics of love—tender yet powerful.

For the choral piece “COSMOS,” understanding the meaning of the lyrics and singing with an unforced, natural tone will help communicate the piece’s appeal more effectively.

When combining them, it’s best to sing while listening to each other so the resonance blends, without getting thrown off by the other part.

Lost Sheep

This commercial, which depicts a dystopian future straight out of a sci-fi movie, features Kenshi Yonezu.

As he walks through a desert alongside a giant wolf-like robot, Yonezu says, “The world is changing at a startling pace.” He continues, “But what humans need doesn’t change all that much,” and then picks up a CalorieMate Liquid.

While clearly conveying that it provides essential nutrition, the ad’s distinctive worldview leaves a strong impression.

Yonezu’s “Stray Sheep” is used in this CM.

If you read the lyrics—written with a sci-fi sensibility in mind—you’ll find countless stories to imagine.

Be sure to listen while following along with the lyrics.
