[Karaoke] Yonezu Kenshi’s easy-to-sing songs. Comfortable vocal range (1–10)

a kind personNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

This piece is built around gentle piano and strings, carrying a delicate yet profound message.

It tackles the less-than-pretty inner aspects of humanity—bullying, discrimination, and bystanders—and quietly yet strikingly questions the fragile and cruel nature of “kindness.” Since it’s not a song to be sung with intensity, delivering the vocals as if asking or speaking to someone suits the atmosphere perfectly.

In the chorus, to bring out particular delicacy, sing thinly in falsetto, as if letting the voice float up from above your head.

Flying SwallowNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

Hien, included on the fourth album BOOTLEG released on November 1, 2017, is pronounced “Hien.” It’s a pop-rock tune brimming with freshness and a sense of speed.

The song is themed around a swallow darting through a stormy sky, depicting a forward-looking “journey” and “evolution,” and it’s characterized by powerful guitar phrases and handclaps.

When singing, if you lift your facial muscles as if opening your face and articulate clearly, you can sing without straining and should be able to hit the high notes smoothly.

Especially in the chorus, each phrase builds step by step, so if you can raise the energy as if reaching even farther, your voice is likely to project well.

Re-releaseNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

This popular, uptempo yet bittersweet song is the third track on the third album, Bremen.

It’s characterized by imagery in which dreams and reality, and scenes from the past, replay in the mind like a movie.

The overall vocal range spans C3 to G#4, with the verses (A and B sections) staying in a calmer range and the chorus moving into the higher register.

If you focus on singing each phrase in the bridge (C section), your emotions will rise and it should become easier to project your voice.

In the chorus, try really letting your voice out and raising the energy toward the latter half.

town/cityNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

An early signature piece from the first album “diorama,” suffused with a sense of translucence and loneliness.

Written, composed, arranged, sung, and illustrated entirely by the artist, this introspective track portrays scenes felt in everyday life and emotions toward a cityscape that has changed.

While the backing sounds give a slightly dark impression, the melody itself isn’t difficult, so you shouldn’t struggle to sing it.

In the chorus, try singing out with full voice to create clear dynamics—keep that in mind.

CampanellaNEW!Yonezu Kenshi

This song is inspired by Kenji Miyazawa’s Night on the Galactic Railroad.

It was produced at the end of the album and most reflects Yonezu’s feelings at the time, resulting in a bittersweet yet beautiful worldview in a highly challenging ballad.

Judging from YouTube comments, many fans of Kenji Miyazawa and Night on the Galactic Railroad are drawn to it, showing just how popular the track is.

The overall vocal range spans D3 to B4, which seems relatively easy to sing, but the unique rhythm requires attention.

If you move your body like Kenshi Yonezu does, you can release tension and keep a good balance while singing.

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi

Included on the major-label debut album YANKEE and widely known as one of Kenshi Yonezu’s signature songs due to its enduring popularity, Eine Kleine resonates with the striking contrast between its memorable acoustic guitar phrases and sentimental lyrics.

It’s an emotional rock tune that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to draw listeners into its world.
