Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.

The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.

Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.

To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.

If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.

Give them a try, everyone!

This song portrays feelings for a loved one who has been lost, likening them to the bitterness of a lemon.

Its lyrics, where the pain of never meeting again intersects with the warm memories that still remain in the heart, strike listeners deeply.

Kenshi Yonezu created it based on his own experience of losing his grandfather, and that earnest emotion permeates the entire piece.

Released in March 2018 as the theme song for the drama “Unnatural,” it spent a total of seven weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.

At the 69th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, he performed it via live broadcast from his hometown in Tokushima Prefecture, moving many viewers to tears.

It is a quiet companion for those who have lost someone precious or who wish to face the farewells that inevitably come someday.

DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu 'Uchiage Hanabi' MUSIC VIDEO

It’s a song by DAOKO × Kenshi Yonezu that spreads in your mind like fireworks that burst across the night sky and quietly fade away.

DAOKO’s clear, delicate vocals blend with Yonezu’s deeply emotive voice over a beautiful melody.

The lyrics convey the protagonist vividly recalling summer days spent with someone special, wishing to watch those fireworks together once more, while holding both the ache that it may never come true and the lingering warmth of unfading memories.

Released as a single in August 2017, the song drew major attention as the theme for the animated film “Fireworks (Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?).” It reached No.

1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 in September of the same year, and is also included on DAOKO’s album “THANK YOU BLUE.” It’s perfect for slightly lonely late-summer nights or as a soundtrack for a drive when you want to bask in memories.

Kenshi Yonezu – Peace Sign

This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.

Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.

The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.

[BOOTLEG] Uchiage Hanabi Kenshi Yonezu

Regarding the duet song Uchiage Hanabi with DAOKO, this time I’ll introduce Kenshi Yonezu’s solo version! The overall vocal range sits at a relatively calm C3–A4, showcasing Yonezu’s characteristically gentle, tender tone throughout.

In fact, pitch tends to become less stable in the lower notes than the higher ones, so it’s important to pay close attention to the very beginning of each phrase.

If your breathing is shallow, it becomes harder to produce sound, so focus on taking deep breaths.

To nail the pitch, it also helps to lift your facial muscles.

Rather than lifting them while singing, raise them as you inhale and keep them engaged as you phonate.

Since the song is relaxed, there’s ample time for breaths, so don’t forget to take one each time.

Also, because it sits in the midrange, make sure to project your voice forward so it doesn’t get muffled!

Kenshi Yonezu – Melancholy Kitchen [RUS SUB] (【Kenshi Yonezu】Melancholy Kitchen)

The song Melancholy Kitchen is included on his second full-length album, YANKEE.

The ensemble, featuring funky guitar comping, creates a thrilling, spacious sound.

The tempo is fast and there are many rapid-fire phrases, making it hard to keep up, but the vocal range is relatively narrow and there aren’t many large interval leaps, so it should be approachable to try.

It’s a stylish pop tune that feels exhilarating to finish singing at karaoke.
