DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu 'Uchiage Hanabi' MUSIC VIDEO

This collaboration between DAOKO and Kenshi Yonezu is perfect for summer nights when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.

Released in August 2017, it drew huge attention as the theme song for the animated film Fireworks (Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?).

The song paints a poignant scene, overlaying fleeting memories of love onto fireworks that bloom in the night sky and vanish in an instant.

The expansive sound that swells toward the chorus evokes the image of grand fireworks coloring the summer night sky.

Their beautiful harmonies stir a wistful feeling for the passing summer and tug at the heart.

Pair it with emotional moments in your Instagram Stories—like a twilight beach or sparklers—and it will become an unforgettable memory.

Kaiju MarchYonezu Kenshi51rank/position

Kaijuu no March – Kenshi Yonezu | Kenshi Yonezu – Kaiju's March

Kaiju no March, included on the major third album BOOTLEG—where every track serves as an homage to something—features lyrical lines that quote part of Ryoko Moriyama’s Today Is Our Farewell.

These lyrical, evocative words interlink with a nostalgic ensemble to create its unique world.

The overall vocal range is narrow, but the distinctive chorus melody, which uses semitone steps, is easy to go off-pitch on, so take care when singing.

Though it’s not simple, as the melody within a single breath rises and falls considerably in pitch, it’s a number you’ll likely find enjoyable once you’ve mastered it.

Santa MariaYonezu Kenshi52rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu MV 'Santa Maria'

Santa Maria, the first single that marked his major-label debut under his own name.

Not only the song itself, but also the artwork and even the picture book featured in the music video were all created by him, making it a track that showcased his talent to listeners who hadn’t known Kenshi Yonezu before.

With its relatively narrow vocal range, relaxed tempo, and low key, it should be easy to try at karaoke.

It’s a masterpiece with a sacred, spacious atmosphere that feels comforting—one you’ll want to sing while immersing yourself in its world.

NeighbourhoodYonezu Kenshi53rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – Neighbourhood

Let me introduce a guitar-centered song, “Neighbourhood.” It’s the B-side to “Peace Sign.” It’s said to be based on Kenshi Yonezu’s childhood experiences, depicting a child’s boredom, dissatisfaction, and anxieties about the future, alongside the grown-up child speaking to their younger self.

The lyrics are especially appealing to music fans, featuring references to musical proper nouns.

Overall, it’s slow with a blues-like vibe, so you can take your time and sing it without rushing.

Dream-Eating GirlYonezu Kenshi54rank/position

[Lyrics_Subbed] Yume Kui Shoujo – Kenshi Yonezu

Yumekui Shoujo is a self-cover of a song originally released under the name Hachi as a Vocaloid track.

It’s included on the 7th single Peace Sign, while the original, titled Sajo no Yumekui Shoujo, appears on Hachi’s second album OFFICIAL ORANGE.

Overall, the key is low and the vocal range is narrow, but because the chorus features melodic leaps, karaoke performance requires both accurate pitching and careful control of volume.

With its relaxed beat and emotional melody, it’s a hidden gem that feels especially satisfying to listen to.

UnbelieversYonezu Kenshi55rank/position

[Piano] Tried playing 'Unbelievers'

The 2015 track “Unbelievers” gives you the power to live on without worrying about any unpleasant things that happen.

Life is full of hurtful words from others, hostile looks, and all kinds of discouraging moments, but the lyrics deliver a strong message: as long as you keep facing forward without giving in, you’ll be okay.

The melody is a bit challenging, so be sure to check the sheet music and the original song carefully as you play.

Practice slowly until you’re comfortable, and once you’ve got it down, try adding drive and strength to your performance.

Panda HeroYonezu Kenshi56rank/position

Hachi MV “Panda Hero” HACHI / Panda Hero

This is one of the Vocaloid songs that Kenshi Yonezu posted on a video-sharing site back when he was still using the name “Hachi.” It’s also one of his million-hit tracks, and although it predates his major-label debut, there’s no doubt it shook the Vocaloid scene.
