Kenshi Yonezu Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

Sand PlanetYonezu Kenshi57rank/position

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.

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.

[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!

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

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.
