It’s a heartwarming love song packed tight with the feeling, “As long as you’re here, I’ll be okay.” It’s a track by singer-songwriter Kenshi Yonezu, who has produced numerous hit songs like “Lemon” and “Kanden,” and it’s included on his third album, Bremen, released in 2015.

Kenshi Yonezu – Grim Reaper

This is a song that gives a modern twist to the world of classic rakugo.

It portrays the story of a debt-ridden man and the Grim Reaper through Kenshi Yonezu’s distinctive lens.

The lyrics incorporate dialects, and the arrangement features elements of jazz and blues.

It was released in June 2021 as the B-side to the single “Pale Blue.” In the music video, Yonezu himself plays various roles—such as a rakugo performer and audience members—brilliantly recreating the world of rakugo.

With meticulous attention to detail, the production offers a new way to enjoy both music and rakugo.

It’s recommended for those who want to reflect on human desire and fate.

A track with a tasteful Japanese flair.

Kenshi Yonezu – POP SONG / Kenshi Yonezu

Kenshi Yonezu is a creator who not only works as a singer-songwriter but also handles illustration and video production.

Written specifically as a song for a PlayStation commercial, this track captivates with its distinctive sound—comical yet tinged with an unsettling atmosphere.

It was released digitally in February 2022 and was later included on the single M87 and the album LOST CORNER.

Over an extremely emphasized shuffle beat, the freely roaming melody line is nothing short of breathtaking.

In the commercial, Yonezu himself transforms into a character he designed, embodying a game-like world, which also became a major talking point.

Give it a listen when you want to add a bit of playfulness and excitement to your everyday life.

RED OUTYonezu Kenshi40rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – RED OUT

Kenshi Yonezu’s song “RED OUT” features striking lyrics that depict the absurdities of society and personal struggles.

Released digitally in August 2024, it is included on the album “LOST CORNER.” It was also selected for a Spotify brand campaign song.

The lyrical worldview, combined with the aggressive, urgent musicality, leaves a deep impression on listeners.

Since the vocal range isn’t very wide, it’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.

Recommended for those grappling with society or life, and for anyone who wants to let their feelings out.

CampanellaYonezu Kenshi41rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Campanella

A track from Kenshi Yonezu’s album STRAY SHEEP, released in August 2020.

Known for his vocal prowess, Yonezu delivers an impressive performance in this song as well, skillfully employing mixed voice and falsetto.

In the D-melody section, he also uses high chest notes that verge on a shout.

I think it’s a difficult song to sing not just because it requires strong high notes, but that’s exactly why it’s worth the challenge.

Overall, it’s important to aim for a soft, non-aggressive high tone as the core of your delivery.

Kenshi Yonezu MV “MAD HEAD LOVE”

This is the second single by Kenshi Yonezu, the hottest artist right now.

It was released in 2013.

It’s a love song notable for its slightly complex expressions of love and, in contrast, the chorus’s straightforward declarations of affection.

I also recommend singing it at karaoke when you go with someone you have mutual feelings with!
