paprikaYonezu Kenshi
A self-cover of “Paprika,” which was originally provided to Foorin, a music unit formed by elementary and junior high school students, and went on to become a massive hit.
Compared to Foorin’s version, the subtly altered melody and the somewhat wistful, ennui-tinged atmosphere leave a strong impression.
The key is lower and easier to sing, and since it’s a well-known song, it’s easy to remember and a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
However, because the key and chord progression differ, if you’re used to the Foorin version, make sure to practice in advance so you won’t get confused by the ensemble when performing in front of others.
fireworks (launched into the sky)Yonezu Kenshi
A self-cover of Uchiage Hanabi, which became a hot topic when the collaborative version with DAOKO was chosen as the theme song for the animated film “Fireworks.” It’s included on the major 3rd album BOOTLEG, and since it’s sung solely by Kenshi Yonezu, it gives a distinctly different impression.
The chorus features some slightly higher notes, but overall the key is low and the tempo relaxed, making it easy to sing.
If you’re at karaoke with women, the collaboration version can also get everyone excited—it’s a famous song that almost everyone has probably heard.
Pale BlueYonezu Kenshi
A ballad that shines with Kenshi Yonezu’s delicate sensibility.
Released in June 2021 as the theme song for the TBS Friday drama “Rikokatsu,” this piece is notable for its clear, translucent sound that evokes a pale blue hue.
The beautiful shift into higher notes in the chorus resonates deeply with listeners.
When singing it at karaoke, why not challenge yourself to capture its meticulous emotional expression? The lyrics, depicting the pain of heartbreak and the courage to move forward, will comfort anyone who has experienced the end of a relationship.
With over 100 million streams, the song has struck a chord with many people.
peace signYonezu Kenshi
The seventh single “Peace Sign,” which was selected as the opening theme for the TV anime My Hero Academia.
Its fast-paced arrangement featuring a catchy guitar riff heightens the excitement for the series.
The melody and tempo are both quick, and the pitch moves around quite a bit, so you’ll need practice before performing it in front of others.
However, since the overall vocal range isn’t that wide, once you get the hang of it, it becomes a refreshing rock tune that will make karaoke even more fun.
Gray and BlueYonezu Kenshi
“Gray and Blue,” which also made waves for its collaboration with Masaki Suda—an actor with overwhelming presence—is a track that was pre-released from the 4th album “BOOTLEG.” Its lyrical melody and overlapping vocals became a hot topic.
Both vocal parts sit in a low key with minimal melodic inflection, and the tempo is relaxed, making it easy to sing.
If possible, splitting the parts with a friend is fun too; it’s a famous song that’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
globeYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s influence on the music scene is immeasurable.
Released in July 2023, this work was created as the theme song for Hayao Miyazaki’s film “The Boy and the Heron” (How Do You Live?).
Born from five years of exchanges between Yonezu and Miyazaki, the song portrays the loneliness of parting and loss, and the strength to honestly express the emotions hidden within oneself.
The CD single comes with a 160-page documentary photo book, making it a valuable item for fans.
It’s also a great choice for karaoke.
Alongside its gentle melody line, it conveys a clear understanding of one’s path forward and a strong will to move toward hope for the future.

MoonlightNEW!Yonezu Kenshi
This track, included on the fourth album “BOOTLEG,” was created at the very end of the album’s production.
It features a modern R&B sound that employs sampling techniques, and it embodies a complex perspective on past legacies and existing works.
Rather than being intense, it has a much gentler, more subdued atmosphere, so it seems best to sing it as if you’re resonating it in your head.
Instead of singing loudly, try to keep your delivery light throughout.
If you mark the rhythm by drawing circles in front of your face as you sing, it will help you stay relaxed and let your voice flow more easily—give it a try.
