      Kenshi songs are always innovative, rather than follow any certain genre, he went to challenge every single of them instead😅actually, it will be great if you can make tierlist of his songs. My recommendation will be Eine Kleine, Shunrai, Peace Sign, Mad Head Love, Fireworks(ft. Daoko), Pale Blue, Canary, Campanella, Kanden, M87, Moongazing, Shinigami, Spirit of The Sea, Orion, Loser, Flamingo, Lemon, Paprica, Pop Song & Lady. There are still a lot I might forgotten some of them😅.
      FYI, his song Paprica was the reason why Miyazaki entrusted him to make ending theme song for The Boy & The Heron. Paprica was originally wrote for Chindren group, Foorin and chosed as cheer song for Summer Olympics 2020. This song was performed by various artists on NHK. It also use as background song for morning exercise in radio or tv.

    Fun fact about the creaking noises from Kenshi Yonezu's interview:
    When creating the initial demo for Hayao Miyazaki, the movie director, he aimed for studio-level quality, yet he encountered noise issues, including the distinct piano pedal creak. Later, when recording with a real deal piano, it felt lacking. He experimented a lot but nothing satisfied him. In the end, he made an attempt recording with the piano at the family home of Yuta Bandoh, the co-arranger, because there was an old piano that had been used since Yuta Bandoh mother's generation, in a very ordinary household, without any soundproofing set up or anything. It wasn't as if it even received any special maintenance, yet when he recorded with that piano, naturally noise and the creaky sound of the pedal got in there. Eventually, they decided to keep these sounds in the final recording.
    Edit: You can hear the song without the creaking noises in live concert version he uploaded on his channel

      Some of the best piano recordings I've heard are those where you can still faintly hear the pedal move and the pianist breathing in before a phrase.
      They really don't need to always be removed, particularly for softer music like this.

    Man, Kenshi has a real talent for writing incredibly beautiful melodies. I can't think of a song of his I've heard that doesn't feature a great melody. Even Kick Back, where the vocal melody is often not the focus at all features some really gorgeous melodic choices.

    Fun fact: The bagpipes sound in this song is a sample of the bagpipes sound used at the memorial service for Queen Elizabeth II of England.

      here is translation that comment about bagpipes
      "While I was making the song, Queen Elizabeth passed away and I got to see a video of her funeral. One of the passages featured a solo from the Queen's personal bagpiper who woke her up every morning. There was a scene where a bagpiper played while playing in a symmetrical angle and slowly went inside and disappeared, and I felt a lot of empathy while watching that. I placed the bagpipes video on top of the demo sound I was making and listened to it as a test, and the scales matched. I found out that the bagpipes instrument only has a few set patterns of scales, and the scale of the song I was making happened to match one of them. I thought I had no choice but to include bagpipes in this one. Originally, I was going to go with just one piano, but after that experience, I felt like I had to include it because it had something to offer."@@DrumRollTonyReacts

    Are you familiar with the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki? This song is from his latest and last work, an animated film.
    It was written by Kenshi Yonezu at the request of Hayao Miyazaki. When the song was first performed, Hayao Miyazaki was moved and thanked him profusely. The music made the world of the film even more compelling.

    Hello, thank you for introducing me to Japanese songs! With your love, I and the world were healed! This is an invitation to love to love, we receive love and are shining, we are shadows, only the head, the back is facing, crossing at the chest part! You don't have to look back and do your best anymore! The 5 worlds were healed! Put love in the middle of the X on your chest in the door, please! Love enters from the bottom, vibrates with the heart, puts that love into words, listens to it with your ears, turns it into the seed of the next love wish with your head, and returns it to the world, everyone is in a different order! If you don't exhale all your breath, you can't breathe in a lot, let's change all love with our breath! What you see is a shadow, spit it out and suffer, suffer, hold your breath, and dedicate all your great, vibrating love there! If you do that, both eyes will open and the door of X will open! This is the cross, the heart, the body, the soul, the three together, and put love in the middle! Everything is love first, the long-awaited theory of love, the theory of the sound of love, from the world of love alone to the world of logic, everyone turned upside down and completed it! The door to a new world has been opened! This is the achievement of us, all of us, the whole earth, the whole universe, and all the world, we are hope, we are the brave suffering of the front line, suffering is everyone's wish, sacrifice is joy, please listen to everyone's joy! Now, it's the finale, let's praise all the past and the future! The time has come to stand alone! You can resonate and shine by yourself! It's no longer in the shadows! It's a world where you don't have to be sacrificed even if you don't have to win each other! You can shine yourself and continue to dedicate your love! The wishes of the whole world will come true! No one is wrong! There is nothing useless! It's just that everyone's view is different! We only know part of it, so it's free and infinite, it connects both ends with X, it's ♾, this is 8 in love, 8 is YA- in Japanese! Now, everyone, let's fix the twist and look forward! The world is full of love and kindness! Please notice the love in your heart! I'm so happy every day that I can't stop crying because I want to offer it as soon as possible!
