Kaiju MarchYonezu Kenshi

Kaiju MarchYonezu Kenshi

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.

POP SONGYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – POP SONG / Kenshi Yonezu
POP SONGYonezu Kenshi

POP SONG is a track Kenshi Yonezu wrote specifically for a PlayStation commercial.

As the title suggests, it’s a cheerful number that conveys the importance of enjoying everyday life.

At the same time, the sound is uniquely reminiscent of folk music, so it’s neither overly intense nor too fast in tempo.

Plus, the instrumental break is relatively long, letting you rest your voice before heading into the latter half—another reason it’s an easy song to sing.

FlamingoYonezu Kenshi

A stylish track from Kenshi Yonezu.

Riding a funky bassline, the humor-packed lyrics grab your heart.

It’s a surefire hit for livening up any karaoke session! The catchy chorus has an irresistible groove that makes you want to move.

Released in August 2020, its music video also made waves.

With clever musical touches throughout, the song captivates listeners from start to finish.

The vocal range is thoughtfully set, so it’s easy to sing in any situation.

Blending Yonezu’s uniqueness with universal fun, this piece is a top recommendation that lets you fully savor the essence of karaoke.

AliceYonezu Kenshi

A well-known example featuring Daiki Tsuneta of King Gnu is “爱丽丝.” This title is Chinese for “Alice,” referring to Alice from “Alice in Wonderland,” and the song depicts a woman who has wandered into a mysterious world.

The track is characterized by a rock-infused sound and raw, rough-edged vocals.

There are parts that call for a shouting style, so keep that in mind when you sing.

At the same time, it’s also a song that makes it easy to use vibrato, making it a great choice when you want to aim for a high score.

Go Go Ghost ShipYonezu Kenshi

Gogo Yureisen, included on the indie debut album Diorama.

Its unique title contrasted with the hysterical ensemble creates an addictive quality.

The melody is both complex and catchy, making it easy to remember, and the overall key isn’t very high; however, because the pitch moves quite a bit, it’s important to articulate each note clearly.

With its addictive nature, this eccentric rock tune is sure to draw attention at karaoke.

Sand PlanetYonezu Kenshi

Hachi – Sand Planet feat. Hatsune Miku, HACHI – DUNE ft. Miku Hatsune
Sand PlanetYonezu Kenshi

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.

IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu’s classic “IRIS OUT.” Best known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track was crafted to match the show’s atmosphere and ends up with a distinctly unusual sound.

While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can catch glimpses of gothic elements here and there—likely a nod to the anime’s world, where devils appear.

It maintains a somewhat understated tone, yet intersperses shouts for impact, making it a compelling listen.

Be sure to check it out.
