Carefully selected recommendations of Kenshi Yonezu’s songs—unforgettable masterpieces (71–80)
M87Yonezu Kenshi
M87 is marked by a melody wrapped in a mysterious atmosphere.
Released in 2022, the song was created as the theme for the film Shin Ultraman.
The lyrics, which seem to depict Ultraman’s state of mind as he fights alone while feeling isolated, really grab your heart.
If you play the original as-is, you’ll encounter quite a few flats, so it might be good to start by converting it to simpler chords.
Aim for a big, expansive performance to bring out the original’s dramatic mood!
Pale BlueYonezu Kenshi
Pale Blue, a heartbreaking love story painted over a beautiful melody, tightens your chest with its sorrow.
Released in 2021, the song was chosen as the theme for the drama Rikokatsu.
The lyrics portray the turmoil of falling in love with someone who used to be just a friend, yet not knowing what to do with those feelings now.
The tempo is relaxed, but the vocal melody is somewhat intricate, so you’ll need to be careful not to miss any notes.
To fully feel the poignancy of the lyrics and the beauty of the melody, try performing while carefully sensing each and every note.
orionYonezu Kenshi
“Orion,” a song that expresses the feeling of loving one person wholeheartedly.
Released in 2017, it was used as the ending theme for the anime March Comes in Like a Lion.
With its gentle tempo and relatively simple vocal melody, it’s a song that’s easy to tackle.
Outside of the vocals, especially in the melodic section before the chorus where rests are used effectively, you need to pay attention to the crispness of the notes.
Including this makes the chorus stand out even more, so be sure to add it! The structure is simple, but try performing with an awareness of building a bit of momentum heading into the chorus and then again into the final chorus.
