Japan's Musical Genius | The Two Worlds of Yonezu Kenshi

[@kaorunichijou]

Also the interesting thing is that in his early videos on NND he drew illustrations with just a mouse and was given a title of "mouse warrior"

[@Noelu08]

I've been a kenshi fan more than 10 years and went to his live show as well. It makes me happy to see more people talk about him bc he is such an amazing and unique artist ❤️

[@madao8542]

I actually recognised his voice while playing DUNE on Project Sekai and them connected the dots and I was like: Hol' up that's awesome!

[@mysteriogaming478]

Yes thanks for doing this video he’s my favourite artist

[@Cristyface]

I have unending respect for him as a musician, and have loved his music since I was 16/17 (I am 28 now). He's creative, eccentric, talented, hard working, and makes unique and recognizable music. Plus, his illustrations are great!!

[@siralpha6020]

Kenshi yonezu is the GOAT, him and tatsuya kitani are my favorites

[@ferndiesel]

Spending practice time screwing around and messing with people is the most authentic band practice I've ever heard of He was destined for greatness

[@ilikefact]

He is probably fun to smoke with

I was recommended your video about Ano and found it really nice, so I came and checked if you had done one on Kenshi Yonezu. I love his creativity. Actually fell in love with his music and illustrations because of Vivi, and he's constantly been on my playlist ever since. I was never really interested in his personal life, but seeing how passionate he is about music, it makes me respect him more. Waiting anxiously for his new album! Thank you for the insights on his career. Subscribed for more otaku culture. Also, if I may recommend anyone a must listen song, I'd say Loser is my absolute favorite, and Stray Sheep is his most perfect album so far, there isn't a single bad song.

1:38 bump of chicken which is one of my favorite bands inspired my favorite singer and now he is my inspiration and motivation to continue working to make my dream come true❤

[@LynxLynxLynx0222]

Thank you. I first heard his song in 2014, when I was a middle schooler who was really into vocaloid. I sort of rediscovered his music through Lemon. It reached such high popularity in east Asia that I, living in China at the time. Would hear regularly on the streets. I am a little sad that you didn’t mention Lemon hahaha

[@DudeJericho]

😅👍

[@Hikikomori_Mimikyu_2003]

I remember when I listened to him in "Sand Planet", and "Lemon" earlier in his career, and he's still got it! Not to mention that I feel bad for any/everyone who looked at him weird 'cause of his lip injury; Dude is absolutely HANDSOME AF.

[@minsiam]

[@DudeJericho]

Thank you!🥹

[@CatNaps]

If I remember correctly, he's also been diagnosed with autism, and I think that's really neat :)

[@overwhelmed_cactus6820]

Oh really? Wow that makes me happy, as an autistic myself I always related to the way he spoke about communication and relationships

[@eshaleemadgavkar]

​@@overwhelmed_cactus6820 I'm autistic myself and Kenshi is my comfort artist and latest hyperfixation!!!

[@themelancholyofgay3543]

What the, so Bump of Chicken gave him the spark!

[@dreamchasingcat]

Many young major artists here in Japan were more or less influenced by BUMP back when they were younger. Noda from Radwimps, Fukase from SekaOwa, among others, have also admitted that they are BUMP fans.

[@joaotfranco]

Nice vid! I really enjoy Yonezu's stuff. Been hooked since he did the opening for My Hero Academia.

[@LoderryPlaysPVP]
