My Top 50 Kenshi Yonezu Songs

This man is producing some bangers! Kenshi Yonezu is without a doubt my favorite Japanese artist as of right now. A lot of his melodies are really catchy and creative with instrumentals spanning all sorts of genres, whether it be J-Rock, J-Pop, RnB, etc., and vocals reminiscent of J-Rock band RADWIMPS. On top of being a music artist, he also creates his own cover art for his CDs (And his art is good too)! Despite all the praise I’m giving him though, I’m not going to pretend like every single one of his songs are bangers. As you’ll see in this video I’m not the biggest fan of diorama and not too many of the B-Side tracks are present here. Just have to be honest and fair here because no artist is perfect. Though his recent stuff from LOSER onwards has been nonstop greatness imo and it’s really cool to see he’s getting so much attention for his songs nowadays ever since Lemon in Japan (for it being a huge drama theme and later on a monster hit song) and Peace Sign overseas (for it being used in the worldwide hit anime My Hero Academia and becoming a fan favorite OP among fans). I’m looking forward to what other new songs he has planned for the future (and hopefully one of them is the Jujutsu Kaisen anime movie song). If you have any questions about songs not on the list, be sure to leave them down below!
Note: Hachi works aren’t included as I’m not all that familiar with Vocaloid. DAOKO’s Uchiage Hanabi wasn’t included as well because Yonezu is only a featuring artist there. Any titles on the list are from the official romanizations on streaming services (with the exceptions of Daydream, Stray Sheep and Spirits of the Sea as those are translated on streaming services), so if any of the romanizations are wrong, that is why.
Honorable Mentions:
51. Mirage Song
52. Horafuki Nekoyarou
53. Wooden Doll
54. Hyakki Yakou
55. Santa Maria
56. TOXIC BOY
57. Atashiwa Yuurei
58. Zangeno Machi
59. Fluorite
60. Tabibito Dentou

何曲もある米津さんの曲から50の曲に順位をつけれるなんてすごすぎる...

[@Showerhead0901]

50位から熱すぎるんよ

[@Alopa_13]

Kanden...Eine Klein...Loser...Orion and even Lemon... are my favourite of his works... Kenshi has a skill of crafting his emotions beautifully with the perfect music and illustrations... He's a great artist.

I was happy for "Neon Sign", but a little bit upset for absence of "fogbound", "Attashiwa Yuurei", "Undercover", "Mirage Song". Yes, I'm definitely fan of "Bremen".

[@agi6821]

Neon sign, gomenne, kaijyuu no march,

[@MrSeven-zb2fi]

Yep... Like it

[@vladimirputin2953]

Are kidding me. Lemon deserves no 1. With 700M views Lemon is the Japan most viewed music video

[@TopShonenRanks]

Just because it’s not number 1 doesn’t mean that I don’t like it. It’s just that people have different preferences and I just think there’s a few songs I like more than Lemon, regardless of popularity. That being said, don’t get it twisted though because I still think Lemon is a banger

[@gyabiin4825]

Mainstream opinion

[@suliabarbee7661]
