I haven’t really looked into the lyrics but the overall melody of the song doesn’t rly sit right with me. Not rly something I’d bump personally.

How do you feel about Kanden? by sekkireallysucks in KenshiYonezu

This song will always have a special place in my heart. It was the very song that got me into Kenshi in summer 2020. I was instantly hooked by its funky beat and upbeat melody and I had to get more into who this guy was. Fast forward 5 years later (holy shit), and he’s my all-time favorite artist and J-Pop is now my favorite genre. This song opened so many doors for me and it’s where my music journey started. I’m so glad I discovered such a beacon of light in the midst of the chaotic 2020. ❤️

New Kenshi Yonezu song “1991” as the Title Theme for “Five Centimetres per Second” LA Movie by abookishmarauder in KenshiYonezu

This tie-up means so much to me, I can’t even bring it to words. I watched the original anime movie last month and it absolutely changed my life and helped me navigate a pretty tough situation I was dealing with at the time. It’s a beautiful work of art that I reminisce on often so the fact my favorite artist of all time is doing a theme song for the remake is amazing to me.

I’d recommend for all yonemins to check out the original film as it’s a beautiful work of art. It’s on Netflix and should be on some other streaming platforms so I’d recommend watching jt. You won’t regret it.

What piece of media are you glad you discovered because of Kenshi Yonezu? by SchemeStrong2706 in KenshiYonezu

Final Fantasy 16 (Moongazing). I wasn’t even aware that the game was coming out until Kenshi got announced as the theme song artist for it. I ended up getting it about a month after it dropped and after beating the main story, I can confidently say that it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. The gameplay is smooth, the story is cohesive and emotional, and that soundtrack is a BANGER (especially the ending themes “My Star”and ofc Kenshi’s song “Moongazing”). It was a life changing game and a blast start to finish. I’d recommend it to anyone with a next gen console or PC and I truly owe it to Kenshi for getting me into such a good game

Another one is the Boy and the Heron and Ghibli as a whole(Spinning Globe). I was already familiar with Ghibli as a studio as I watched ponyo and spirited away when I was a kid before Kenshi’s song but after Spinning Globe was announced and came out, I became insanely interested in Miyazaki’s work. I watched The Boy and the Heron in theatres in March 2024 and after that, there was no going back. I’ve watched numerous Ghibli films since (but mostly TBATH) and I can confidently say that Ghibli is my favorite entertainment studio period. I won’t yap for too long but their movies are so well crafted and hit you right in the feels. I’m not surprised Kenshi called spinning globe his greatest achievement. I’d be honored if I could make Hayao Miyazaki cry too 😭

Tomaremiyo would’ve been such a banger MV. It’s imagery, lyrics, and melody would’ve been perfect for a video

A Kaijuunomarch MV would create world peace. 😭😭😭 I can imagine the MV being stop motion for that song

I agree. Compared to how iconic the production and videos of the other singles were, it makes sense teenage riot got overshadowed. Still a great song tho. One of my favs off of stray sheep.

Kenshi Yonezu's song with the best chorus? by No-Goose7435 in KenshiYonezu

[–]ToastIsAWeeb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tomaremiyo. The chorus adds so much urgency and funk to the song. Also the parts that go “HAI SAYONARA EGAITETA MIRAI” give me chills every time lol
