Noctiluca on Rainy Streets / Kenshi Yonezu [Cover]

This song, included on Kenshi Yonezu’s third album “Bremen,” comes from an artist who now stands as a national figure.

It captures the frustrating feeling of wanting to grow up while still cherishing how you feel right now, and like his other tracks, it’s packed with Yonezu’s distinctive worldview.

The intro even sounds like buoyant raindrops.

It’s the perfect rainy-day song to listen to absentmindedly without thinking about anything.

[Ado] Ado sings Kenshi Yonezu's 'KICK BACK' [clip]

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who continues to expand the musical possibilities of the J-POP scene.

His track “KICK BACK,” which held the No.

1 spot on Billboard JAPAN’s anime chart for 21 consecutive weeks, has been remixed by New York artists Frost Children.

Released in September 2025 to commemorate the streaming of the TV anime Chainsaw Man: Compilation, this version reconstructs the original’s hysteric impulse with even sharper electronic sound.

Let yourself be swept away by this wave of sound.

UnbelieversYonezu Kenshi59rank/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.

Mrs. Pumpkin’s Comical DreamHachi (Yonezu Kenshi)60rank/position

[Miume × Miume] Mrs. Pumpkin’s Comical Dream [I tried dancing]

Speaking of Halloween songs, here’s another track you should definitely check out.

If you’re from the Vocaloid generation, you probably know it already, right? It’s a song by Kenshi Yonezu, released under his Vocaloid producer name Hachi, that really captures the world of Halloween.

It starts with a simple rhythm, but the high notes in the chorus give it a powerful lift—that’s the cool part.

There’s no official choreography, but there are “I tried dancing” videos with original routines, so give it a try at least once!

[With guitar-and-vocal chords] Moonlight / Kenshi Yonezu [Full Lyrics]

“Moonlight” is a song included on Kenshi Yonezu’s 2017 album BOOTLEG.

It was the last track on the album to be completed, and its lyrics play an important role in the album’s overall concept.

The album topped the Oricon Albums Chart and won the Excellence Album Award at the 60th Japan Record Awards.

The languid, hip-hop-inspired rhythm layered with Yonezu’s vocals evokes a moonlit sense of wistful longing.

It’s a track I highly recommend listening to while moon-gazing.

Kenshi Yonezu – Sunflower (Cover by Tatsuki Fujisue / Vocals: HARAKEN) [Full/Subtitles/Lyrics Included]

Himawari (Sunflower) paints a scene of sunflowers blooming under the sun with the cool, artful melodies characteristic of Kenshi Yonezu.

It’s included on the 2020 album STRAY SHEEP.

Unlike the lively image of sunflowers, the lyrics evoke a poignant farewell to someone dearly admired, making it a heartrending song.

Holding on to feelings for that person, let’s walk our own path tomorrow and the day after.

Even while carrying pain, it leaves us with a sense of hope for tomorrow.

Kenshi Yonezu – Tremolo [Audio]

Kenshi Yonezu, a singer-songwriter who has produced numerous hits and also shows remarkable talent as an illustrator and filmmaker.

This track, included on the album “Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE-” set for release in November 2025, is a cover that reconstructs a beloved RADWIMPS classic he deeply admires.

The band sound, with its pleasantly resonant guitar tones, and his vocals that tenderly scoop up shifting emotions bring the original song’s poignancy into even sharper relief.

Released amid a streak of major tie-ins with anime and films, this reverent tribute radiates a charm that makes you want to listen alone on a quiet night.

It’s an emotional piece that fans of both artists will find irresistible.
