Kenshi Yonezu MV 'Santa Maria'

Santa Maria, the first single that marked his major-label debut under his own name.

Not only the song itself, but also the artwork and even the picture book featured in the music video were all created by him, making it a track that showcased his talent to listeners who hadn’t known Kenshi Yonezu before.

With its relatively narrow vocal range, relaxed tempo, and low key, it should be easy to try at karaoke.

It’s a masterpiece with a sacred, spacious atmosphere that feels comforting—one you’ll want to sing while immersing yourself in its world.

Kenshi Yonezu – Grim Reaper

Kenshi Yonezu has many uniquely distinctive songs, but among them, “Shinigami” stands out in particular.

It’s a track inspired by classical rakugo, with lyrics that pay homage to the rakugo piece of the same name, “Shinigami.” The sound carries a Japanese traditional flavor while still feeling stylish.

When singing it, try tackling the rakugo-like phrasing in the lyrics with care.

The key itself doesn’t fluctuate much, so it’s also recommended for karaoke beginners.

Kenshi Yonezu – Flowerwall

The 3rd single “Flowerwall,” which was featured as the theme song for Nikon’s D5500 commercial.

After Keisuke Kuwata of Southern All Stars praised it on his radio show, many people may have discovered Kenshi Yonezu’s appeal and talent through this song.

As a Kenshi Yonezu track, it contains many sections with sustained high notes, and the melody and rhythm are complex, but that makes it all the more satisfying if you can sing it well.

If the key just doesn’t fit your range, try adjusting it to a setting that suits you and give it a go.

TEENAGE RIOTKenshi Yonezu39rank/position

Kenshi Yonezu – TEENAGE RIOT / Kenshi Yonezu

The major 9th single “TEENAGE RIOT,” released as a double A-side with “Flamingo.” Chosen as the theme song for Mandom’s GATSBY commercial series “GATSBY COP,” the track is striking for its contrast between a cool rock ensemble and lyrics that evoke a sense of restlessness.

The melody itself has no big leaps in pitch and is easy to sing, but since the intensity shifts sharply in the chorus, be careful to switch gears smoothly when singing karaoke.

The key isn’t high either, making it an approachable number even for those who aren’t very confident singers.

Kenshi Yonezu 1st Album 'diorama' Crossfade

I also recommend “caribou,” which unfolds in a wonderfully mysterious worldview.

It’s a track included on Kenshi Yonezu’s album diorama.

At first glance, it’s a lively song with a pop sound, but the lyrics depict conflict between people.

Another distinctive feature is the use of fictional characters and a story-style presentation.

Although the song is somewhat fast-paced, it stays in a low register throughout with minimal inflection, so it seems approachable even for those who struggle with pitch.

Kenshi Yonezu MV 'vivi'

“vivi,” included on the first album diorama that marked the start of Kenshi Yonezu’s career as a singer-songwriter.

From the intro’s guitar riff with its somewhat dark resonance, it evokes the feel of a Vocaloid track.

While most of the song sits in a low key, the chorus introduces a complex melody that shifts between falsetto and chest voice, requiring precise pitch control.

With its heartrending lyrics and sentimental atmosphere that pierce the heart, it’s a number you’ll want to sing at karaoke while envisioning the scenes it paints.

[With Solo Acoustic Chords] Rainy Lady / Kenshi Yonezu [Full Lyrics]

Although it lasts only about three minutes, Ameguri Fujin unfolds a profoundly rich world.

This song centers on a woman whose going out causes it to rain.

The rain seems to symbolize sorrow, and the lyrics suggest that the woman has experienced heartbreak and is filled with emptiness.

The sharply rising and falling sound also seems to express the turmoil in her heart.

Incidentally, from a karaoke perspective, while the high pitch and fast tempo may make it seem difficult to sing, the key remains constant, so it can also be considered approachable.
