Kenshi Yonezu Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

TEENAGE RIOTYonezu Kenshi43rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – TEENAGE RIOT / Kenshi Yonezu

The major 9th single “TEENAGE RIOT,” released as a double A-side with “Flamingo.” Chosen as the theme song for Mandom’s GATSBY commercial series “GATSBY COP,” the track is striking for its contrast between a cool rock ensemble and lyrics that evoke a sense of restlessness.

The melody itself has no big leaps in pitch and is easy to sing, but since the intensity shifts sharply in the chorus, be careful to switch gears smoothly when singing karaoke.

The key isn’t high either, making it an approachable number even for those who aren’t very confident singers.

Lullaby, goodbye

This song, well known as background music for a popular anime, is drawing attention.

Since it’s frequently used in everyday scenes, many of you may find it familiar.

Released on YouTube and Instagram, the track is nostalgic for today’s parent generation as well.

For that reason, it’s popular as a song that makes you want to share everyday moments with your children through Stories.

As it’s a children’s anime track, it’s also perfect for babies.

Released in February 2017, this piece has become a charming song that resonates with many people.

It’s one that teens should definitely listen to, too.

Hachi – Sand Planet feat. Hatsune Miku, HACHI – DUNE ft. Miku Hatsune

Kenshi Yonezu is also well known for his work as a Vocaloid producer under the name “Hachi.” With that in mind, the song I’d like to introduce is Sand Planet.

It was written as the theme song for Magical Mirai 2017 and originally featured Hatsune Miku as the main vocalist, but a self-cover version was later released.

Choose whichever version suits your own vocal quality and is easier for you to sing.

Another appeal is the abundance of catchy phrases that make the lyrics easy to remember.

[Lyrics_Subbed] I Wish I Could Be a Bird – Kenshi Yonezu

It would be really cool to sing a song that only a true fan would choose, right? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “Even If I Could Become a Bird.” It’s a track included on the second single “MAD HEAD LOVE/Poppin’ Apathy,” and it wasn’t released as a standalone single.

Still, it’s highly popular among fans.

The lyrics convey love from a first-person perspective, which also makes it appealing because it’s easy to put your emotions into it when singing.

PLACEBO + Yojiro NodaYonezu Kenshi47rank/position

PLACEBO + Yojiro Noda

This is a work by Kenshi Yonezu featuring Yojiro Noda, the vocalist of RADWIMPS.

Although it’s a duet by two male vocalists, there isn’t much harmonizing; the main focus is on solo parts for each singer with just a bit of call-and-response.

So it’s perfect for those who want to duet but aren’t confident with harmonies! The song itself is stylish and upbeat, reminiscent of Western pop, so if two men perform this track together, it’s sure to energize the crowd!

Kenshi Yonezu – Plazma

The world of Kenshi Yonezu woven from imaginative melodies and innovative electronic sounds.

Set against the backdrop of space, this work—depicting life’s choices and fateful encounters—was released in January 2025 as the theme song for the animated film “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-.” It carries Yonezu’s signature delicate sensibility and straightforward passion, familiar from albums like “diorama” and “BOOTLEG.” Alongside its high-energy musicality, the lyrics powerfully convey the courage to step into new worlds and the drive to face the unknown, leaving a deep impression.

It’s a song I especially recommend to younger listeners who are determined to forge their own path.

[Lyrics_Subbed] Alice – Kenshi Yonezu

A well-known example featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu is “爱丽丝.” This title is Chinese for “Alice,” referring to Alice from “Alice in Wonderland,” and the song depicts a woman who has wandered into a mysterious world.

The track is characterized by a rock-infused sound and raw, rough-edged vocals.

There are parts that call for a shouting style, so keep that in mind when you sing.

At the same time, it’s also a song that makes it easy to use vibrato, making it a great choice when you want to aim for a high score.
