Carefully selected recommendations of Kenshi Yonezu’s songs and unforgettable masterpieces

FluoriteYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – Fluorite

This is a track from the third original album, Bremen.

Among the songs on the album, which aims to explore a dialogue between light and darkness, this one falls on the brighter side.

With its cheerful, free-spirited, and pleasant sound, it’s a perfect recommendation as background music for a sunny day’s drive.

Poppin’ ApathyYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – Poppin’ Apathy

This is the second single released under the name Kenshi Yonezu.

It serves as a counterpart to the upbeat double A-side track “MAD HEAD LOVE,” and is a song that, comparatively, expresses more negative emotions.

While “MAD HEAD LOVE” lays bare a straightforward love, this song—wandering alone within an answerless love—prompts deeper reflection on the nature of love.

Kenshi Yonezu 3rd Album “Bremen” Crossfade

This is a track included on the third original album, Bremen.

It had only been performed as an acoustic live-stream rendition, so the official audio release was long-awaited by fans.

The song beautifully captures the fragility of a person’s heart that feels anxious even while living close together with someone.

Melancholy KitchenYonezu Kenshi

It’s a track included as the fifth song on the second original album, “YANKEE.” It’s a song that tells us we can create happiness even out of melancholy when we’re with someone important, weaving that idea together with the kitchen—a place where warm meals are born.

It’s a song I want to listen to with someone special.

Living Dead YouthYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – Living Dead Youth

This is a track included on the second original album, “YANKEE.” Written while recalling the artist’s elementary and middle school years, when they carried pent-up feelings, the song serves as an anthem of encouragement to younger generations living with the same sense of stagnation.

Love and FeverYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu MV 'Love and Fever'

This is a track included on the original album “diorama,” the first release under the name Kenshi Yonezu—marking a shift from his Hachi moniker, under which he primarily produced songs using Vocaloid, to performing vocals himself.

Although he had already built popularity online, the lyrics—tinged with the youthful conflict unique to a 21-year-old at the time—resonated with younger listeners.

City of ConfessionYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu 3rd Single “Flowerwall” crossfade
