Kenshi Yonezu – Azalea

Kenshi Yonezu’s drama theme song begins with a gentle, moist piano melody and expands into an electronic soundscape.

Written specifically for the Netflix original drama “Sayonara no Tsuzuki” and released digitally in November 2024, the track beautifully captures the poignant love story starring Kasumi Arimura and Kentaro Sakaguchi.

It delicately portrays the sorrow of losing one’s dearest person in an accident and the complex emotions toward the stranger who inherits that person’s heart.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who has experienced the loss of a lover or finds their feelings deepening for someone precious.

Kenshi Yonezu – LOSER

Kenshi Yonezu’s iconic song “LOSER.” The music video drew attention for his own dancing, and the track became one that showcased Yonezu’s artistry to the public.

Though released in 2016, it remains highly popular today, earning strong support not only from people in their 20s but also from those in their 30s.

The track has a somewhat cyber vibe, and despite the title’s “loser” theme, the lyrics are crafted to be uplifting—making it a perfect fit for those in their 30s who often face many challenges in the working world.

IRIS OUTKenshi Yonezu10rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – IRIS OUT

It’s the theme song for the Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc movie—rather than something you “shout out loud,” it’s a fierce song that feels like you’re “screaming with your heart.” Its themes are fragility, destruction, love, and parting.

It alternates between Kenshi Yonezu’s signature whispery delivery and explosive emotional singing.

That might make it seem difficult, but the range isn’t very wide, so most male singers should be able to sing it in the original key.

There are also rap-like sections and parts closer to whispering than singing, so if you’re not used to those, you may need some practice.

If you pay attention to accents, it’s easier to lock into the rhythm, so give it a try.

For those flip-into-falsetto moments, it’s easier to produce the sound if you imagine pulling the voice up and back toward the rear of your head.

Kenshi Yonezu – Electric Shock

From the very first funky guitar chops, you can’t help but start moving.

This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu, a hugely popular singer-songwriter with a one-of-a-kind aesthetic.

It’s included on the acclaimed 2020 album STRAY SHEEP and was used as the theme song for the drama MIU404.

The fact that the music video racked up 10 million views in just four days after its release shows how much attention it drew.

The song portrays a thrilling story of chasing fleeting brilliance while being tossed about by inescapable fate.

Its sense of speed—like racing through the city at night—will undoubtedly lift your mood on the way to school.

It’s a stylish track perfect for those days when you want to feel a bit more grown-up.

KICKBACKKenshi Yonezu12rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

Kenshi Yonezu, who draws attention for his genre-blurring musicality from electronica to folk, released his 13th single in November 2022 as the opening theme for the TV anime Chainsaw Man—a track that sonically paints protagonist Denji’s desires and inner turmoil.

Its lyrics, where a thirst for happiness collides with the emptiness of reality, resonate with the mindset of young people trying to claw their way up from rock bottom.

The fierce drum’n’bass-infused beat and dizzying key changes are an emotional roller coaster in themselves.

With dance videos spreading across social media, it also meshes perfectly with the digitally native Gen Z audience.

It’s an impulsive rock tune for anyone craving a jolt in their everyday life.

Kenshi Yonezu – Paprika

Paprika, a famous song that gained nationwide popularity.

It was written by Kenshi Yonezu for the kids’ vocal group Foorin, and this version is an arrangement by Yonezu himself, the composer.

Compared to the original, this rendition has a more gentle, mellow atmosphere, and its relaxed tempo makes it easier to sing.

While the vocal range is somewhat wide, the scale has a Japanese flavor, so it likely won’t feel too difficult for Japanese singers.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
