[Lyrics_Subbed in Chinese] Eye Candy – Kenshi Yonezu

The song “Ganfuku,” included on the major-label first album YANKEE.

Its simple yet gentle ensemble, featuring the delicate tones of an acoustic guitar, is pleasantly soothing.

The vocal range isn’t particularly wide, making it relatively easy to sing, but the characteristically intricate melodies of Kenshi Yonezu can be challenging—so be sure to learn them well before trying it at karaoke.

With its relaxed shuffle beat, it’s a heartwarming number that feels great to sing.

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.

Panda HeroYonezu Kenshi53rank/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.

When that melody beloved by children starts to play, smiles naturally spread.

This song is a warm, nostalgic dance number with a theme of cheering on everyone heading toward the future.

Kenshi Yonezu wrote and composed it, and the children’s unit Foorin sings it with carefree energy.

Released as a single in August 2018, it became widely known as the theme song for NHK’s 2020 Support Song Project and has been broadcast on programs like Minna no Uta.

With approachable, easy-to-copy choreography, it’s perfect for preschoolers’ performances at sports days.

Teachers should join in too to get the whole venue excited!

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 Kenshi56rank/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.
