“LADY” is a song whose straightforward lyrics about cherishing a special girlfriend make your heart flutter.

The melody has an urban yet gentle feel that warms the heart.

Since the song is built on a shuffle rhythm, be mindful of how you keep time when performing it.

If you play the chorus melody with a focus on its flow, you can perform it beautifully.

Kenshi Yonezu – Spring Thunder

“Shunrai,” with its pleasantly Vocaloid-like sound, is also recommended.

It’s a track included on the album “BOOTLEG.” The title “Shunrai” refers to thunder that rumbles in spring, but it’s said to be a metaphor for youthful love—specifically, first love.

The song depicts a man falling in love, that love coming to fruition, and eventually a parting that arrives.

Because each note is clearly articulated, the tempo is on the slower side and the pitch is easier to follow.

Kenshi Yonezu – BOW AND ARROW / Yuzuru Hanyu Short Program ver.

Kenshi Yonezu, who first gained popularity online under the name “Hachi” and debuted as a solo artist in 2012, continues to captivate a wide range of listeners with music that freely traverses genres such as pop, rock, and electronica.

Since his debut with the album “diorama,” he has released a succession of works with a distinctive worldview, including “YANKEE” and “Bremen.” He has also created theme songs for TV dramas and films, and his album “BOOTLEG,” which won the Japan Record Awards’ Best Album, stands as a masterpiece proving his talent.

His songs, woven from abstract lyrics and a unique voice imbued with deep emotion, leave a lingering resonance that sinks into the heart.

Highly recommended for those who want to experience the voice of an artist with delicate sensibility and original expressive power.

The world of Kenshi Yonezu woven from imaginative melodies and innovative electronic sounds.

Set against the backdrop of space, this work—depicting life’s choices and fateful encounters—was released in January 2025 as the theme song for the animated film “Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-.” It carries Yonezu’s signature delicate sensibility and straightforward passion, familiar from albums like “diorama” and “BOOTLEG.” Alongside its high-energy musicality, the lyrics powerfully convey the courage to step into new worlds and the drive to face the unknown, leaving a deep impression.

It’s a song I especially recommend to younger listeners who are determined to forge their own path.

In an album said to aim for dialogues between songs, it sings of straightforward, earnest love that stands in contrast to Metronome, which is about parting.

If you compare the two tracks, you can sense Kenshi Yonezu’s duality—his desire to express both the bright and the dark sides within himself.
