LemonKenshi Yonezu
This is Kenshi Yonezu’s eighth major-label single, released in February 2018.
It was written as the theme song for TBS’s Friday drama “Unnatural.” The minor-key, melancholic melody and overall tone are very appealing.
The vocal melody is also easy to sing and remember, and even now, long after its release, its polish makes it easy to understand why the song remains beloved by many Japanese listeners.
While it doesn’t rely heavily on high notes overall, it does showcase higher-register singing at key moments—especially in the chorus—so it’s highly recommended as a karaoke pick for men with higher voices or those confident in their upper range.
Listen closely to the original and pay attention to switching between chest voice and falsetto when you sing.

The melody and rhythm, which carry a subtle Japanese flavor, make the song quite memorable.
The vocal melody centers on a mid-range that’s easy for most people to sing, so range likely won’t be a stumbling block for karaoke.
To aim for a high score in karaoke, the key point is how well you can reproduce the song’s overall airy, nonchalant vibe and its light, buoyant feel—without pushing ahead of the beat.
