About Kenshi Yonezu

In 2009, Yonezu began producing original music under the pseudonym “Hachi”, creating now-iconic Vocaloid songs such as Matryoshka. After taking the Vocaloid scene by storm, Kenshi Yonezu began releasing materials under his real name in 2012.

2023 was a landmark year for Yonezu, highlighted by significant contributions and achievements. Yonezu wrote LADY for a Georgia coffee TV commercial, followed by Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing as the theme song for the game FINAL FANTASY XVI. In July, he released Spinning Globe for Studio Ghibli’s film The Boy and the Heron, a song that took him four years to produce. In August, his song KICK BACK received gold certification from the RIAA, making him the first Japanese artist to achieve this milestone for a song with Japanese lyrics. He was also the first Japanese artist to be part of the “RIAA Class of 2023”.

In April 2024, Yonezu wrote Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! – Sayonara as the theme song for the NHK Morning Drama The Tiger and Her Wings. In May, he released Mainichi – Every Day, which was featured in a Coca-Cola Japan Georgia commercial.

Yonezu’s music video for Lemon has surpassed 800 million views, continuing to set records for Japanese artists.
