00:00:00The interviewer is Osamu Hayashi.
00:00:04This time, there is a big incident in the TV world.
00:00:09A big incident!
00:00:11A Japanese top artist who is praised by many top artists is appearing in a talk show for the first time.
00:00:19For the first time!
00:00:20Who is it?
00:00:21His charisma is...
00:00:23Who is it?
00:00:24Welcome.
00:00:25Nice to meet you.
00:00:27My name is Yunus.
00:00:29Nice to meet you.
00:00:30It's Yunus!
00:00:31The studio is so excited!
00:00:34Is he going to be on TV?
00:00:36Why?
00:00:37I've never seen him talk on TV.
00:00:41Thank you for coming today.
00:00:43It's an honor.
00:00:45He's talking!
00:00:46To be honest, his music is great and his painting is really great.
00:00:52He's a great person who can control the space with his vision and hearing.
00:00:57That's my honest impression.
00:01:02I've been doing only what I like.
00:01:08But I've been living as a person who can't do anything else.
00:01:13I think that's the biggest thing.
00:01:19The top artist who is leading the Japanese music industry.
00:01:23Kenshi Yonezu!
00:01:24It's him!
00:01:38The theme song of the drama UNNATURAL, Lemon, is a big hit.
00:01:43The music video has more than 890 million views on YouTube.
00:01:49It set a new record for Japanese artists.
00:01:53And...
00:01:56It's Umatoshika.
00:02:07Umatoshika won the first place on the Oricon Downloads for the theme song of the Sunday theater, NO SIDE GAME.
00:02:18In addition, the songs he provided to other artists became a big hit one after another.
00:02:25I love this song.
00:02:36It's a good song.
00:02:38This is also Yonezu's song.
00:02:41It's a great song.
00:02:45Oh, Paprika!
00:02:47He danced.
00:02:48This is good.
00:02:50He danced at a kindergarten sports day.
00:02:55The songs that Kenshi Yonezu wrote and composed are well-known to everyone.
00:03:03But he rarely appears on TV shows.
00:03:07His private life is shrouded in mystery.
00:03:10You have a mysterious impression.
00:03:14I can't imagine what kind of relationship you have.
00:03:18Do you have any interactions in the entertainment world?
00:03:21I like to drink alcohol.
00:03:24So I go to a bar or a place where my friends gather in the middle of the night.
00:03:33Daiki and Satoru from King Gnu are like,
00:03:37What have you been up to lately?
00:03:39I meet them like that.
00:03:44Do you go to a fancy bar?
00:03:46Do you go to a normal izakaya?
00:03:48When I eat, I usually go to Uber Eats.
00:03:53I love Chinese food, curry, and sushi.
00:03:55Chinese food, curry, and sushi?
00:03:57Yes.
00:03:58I live by rotating between the three.
00:04:03Is your curry a Western style or an ethnic style?
00:04:06It's a normal curry.
00:04:08Like Coco Ichi.
00:04:13Coco Ichi is the best curry in the world.
00:04:17The world is going to be a revolution.
00:04:21It's going to be a big deal.
00:04:23Coco Ichi is really delicious.
00:04:25What kind of toppings do you like?
00:04:28Sausages.
00:04:30I'm basically a kid.
00:04:32I think curry and sausage toppings are the best.
00:04:37Do you understand?
00:04:39I like sausages, hamburgers, and sushi.
00:04:43I like things that are easy to understand.
00:04:46Coco Ichi is going to be a big deal.
00:04:51Coco Ichi is going to be a big deal.
00:04:53Yonezu-san, King Gnu's Tsuneta-san,
00:04:57You said you'd be locked up in your room for months if you started making music.
00:05:02How about you, Yonezu-san?
00:05:04I'm kind of like him.
00:05:06Really?
00:05:08I stay at home all the time.
00:05:10I close the curtains.
00:05:12I'm really unhealthy.
00:05:15You don't go outside?
00:05:17No, I don't.
00:05:18So, you're Coco Ichi in Uber Eats?
00:05:20Yes.
00:05:23Yonezu-san is showing us an even more surprising side of him.
00:05:28The theme song of the TV series, Tora ni Tsubasa, which aired last year.
00:05:35Sayounara Mata Itsuka.
00:05:37In fact, in the music video...
00:05:41It's a stylish music video.
00:05:51He's showing us his braided hair.
00:05:54It's so cute.
00:05:55I've always wanted to try braiding my hair.
00:05:59Really?
00:06:00When I decided to make a music video,
00:06:03I thought about how I would do it.
00:06:07I thought braiding my hair would be the way I've always wanted to do it.
00:06:13So, you did what you wanted to do?
00:06:15It wasn't what I wanted to do.
00:06:17It wasn't?
00:06:18Oh, no.
00:06:19I was going to braid my hair in an orange suit.
00:06:23It was my own decision.
00:06:26I didn't know how it would turn out.
00:06:29He made the suit for me.
00:06:31I tried it on.
00:06:34I was like, this is how it's going to be.
00:06:38I think the audience was surprised.
00:06:43But I was the most surprised.
00:06:48How about you, Kenty?
00:06:50I've been to the bar where Yonezu-san used to work.
00:06:56No, I didn't.
00:06:57I didn't.
00:06:58I was talking in a very casual tone.
00:07:01No, I didn't.
00:07:03Yonezu-san's first time on TV.
00:07:06A special edition of his first braided hair.
00:07:09He received an offer from director Hayao Miyazaki.
00:07:13He was asked to make a music video.
00:07:15He told us how he was surprised.
00:07:18It was the biggest event of my life.
00:07:22It was like a death sentence.
00:07:25I don't know what happened.
00:07:27What surprised actress Hikari Mitsushima?
00:07:34This world is full of fairy tales and fantasy.
00:07:40I often talk about how I drive.
00:07:44Yonezu-san does it, too.
00:07:48He even talked about his past.
00:07:52I stay at home and don't talk to anyone.
00:07:56I don't know what people around me are talking about.
00:08:01He even talked about his childhood.
00:08:06Yonezu-san talks about his life.
00:08:11I'm very curious.
00:08:13Me, too.
00:08:15First of all, the birth of a hit song like lemon and paprika.
00:08:20Osamu Hayashi approaches.
00:08:23In this corner, Masaru Akai of Kajin asked me to design this flower.
00:08:29This time, more than 100 types of green were collected from all over the world.
00:08:35Green absorbs carbon dioxide from the earth.
00:08:38It is an oxygen-absorbing and circulating substance.
00:08:41This image is absorbed by Yonezu-san.
00:08:44It is a cycle that makes people enjoy music.
00:08:48That's why I chose this design.
00:08:51It's very cool.
00:08:56The song that made Yonezu's name known to the whole world.
00:09:12Lemon, released in 2018.
00:09:18This song is also published in high school music textbooks.
00:09:22It is a national hit song that is loved by generations.
00:09:29It's a big hit, Lemon.
00:09:31It was also published in a school textbook.
00:09:34What did you think when you got the call?
00:09:37It's an honor.
00:09:40It's amazing.
00:09:42Is this it?
00:09:44I've never seen this before.
00:09:46Is this textbook so fashionable now?
00:09:48It's fashionable.
00:09:50It's really fashionable.
00:09:53When I was a kid, I thought it was more lame.
00:09:57If I had been riding this, I might have liked music a little more.
00:10:01It was a little tough to be turned into a demon king in junior high school.
00:10:05You turned into a demon king.
00:10:07It had a lot of impact.
00:10:11Unnatural, a drama based on Lemon.
00:10:16It's a story about disabled people's unnatural death.
00:10:23This song has a big theme of death.
00:10:28In fact, something unforgettable happened to Yonezu Kenshi during the production process.
00:10:35I wonder what it is.
00:10:39After all, this song is full of memories.
00:10:42During the production process, my mother's grandfather passed away.
00:10:51The drama itself was about facing the death of a person.
00:10:58While making such a drama song, something similar happened to my family.
00:11:05It's a coincidence, but I wonder if it's a little unnatural.
00:11:11There was a moment when I thought that.
00:11:16What are your memories with your grandfather?
00:11:20When I was a kid, I was the type to stay at home.
00:11:25I didn't talk much with people.
00:11:27I think I was a child who didn't know what I was thinking.
00:11:32So I didn't have any special conversations with my grandfather.
00:11:40I really liked my grandfather's house.
00:11:43I'm from Tokushima Prefecture.
00:11:46There is a village on the slope of a mountain.
00:11:51The highest point of the mountain is very steep.
00:11:55I think that scene has a great influence on me.
00:12:06When I wake up in the morning, I can see the mountains overlapping.
00:12:13In the morning, I can't see anything in the morning.
00:12:16It was a village with a lot of impressive scenes.
00:12:19When you go home, do you play outside and run up to your house?
00:12:25Yes.
00:12:27I have more memories of running down than of running up.
00:12:31I fell down on the way down.
00:12:33I had a hard time.
00:12:36Those memories may be bigger.
00:12:41Even now, the presence of his grandfather remains in Kenshi Yonezu's heart.
00:12:45And the original scenery.
00:12:47My grandfather made me write this song.
00:12:49Lemon, who put his feelings for his deceased grandfather on the lyrics,
00:12:53became a song that hit the hearts of people with reality.
00:12:59And in 2018, he won the first TV award at the Kouhaku Uta Gassen.
00:13:11Do you think that song was a turning point for you?
00:13:16I think so.
00:13:18I think my life was completely different before and after I made that song.
00:13:25In the case of Lemon,
00:13:28there is a difference between the version played in the commercial and the version played in the main story.
00:13:36I really want to play the song to the end.
00:13:41I have a feeling that I want to go all the way to the end.
00:13:48So I submitted the song and said,
00:13:51this is the perfect sound source of FIX.
00:13:55After I submitted the song, I was asked to do it again.
00:14:01So I re-recorded it.
00:14:03The melody has changed a little.
00:14:05The melody has changed.
00:14:07I regret that I caused a lot of trouble.
00:14:11Looking back now, the song that you want to play to the end is already over, right?
00:14:16I think of almost all the songs.
00:14:20Sometimes you get stuck, right?
00:14:22Yes.
00:14:23What do you do at that time?
00:14:25I sleep.
00:14:27That's normal.
00:14:29That's reset.
00:14:30I didn't notice it until yesterday,
00:14:33but when I wake up and reset,
00:14:35the way I feel is completely different.
00:14:37I see.
00:14:38I think that's one of the important things.
00:14:41Can you sleep for a long time?
00:14:43Or is it a short sleeper?
00:14:45It's very long.
00:14:46I have to sleep for 10 hours to wake up.
00:14:48That's pretty long.
00:14:50I wonder if I grew this big because I slept so much.
00:14:54Is there anything that you think you failed?
00:14:58I made it for a long time.
00:15:00I thought I'd forget it once.
00:15:02When I woke up, it was reset on my computer.
00:15:06I forgot to save it.
00:15:08I've lost it.
00:15:12At that time,
00:15:13how good would it have been if this was a dream?
00:15:17I've been thinking about it all the time.
00:15:20It was a good exchange.
00:15:22It's the first time.
00:15:24It's a skill.
00:15:25It's great.
00:15:28Kenshin Yonezu creates hit songs one after another.
00:15:33The origin of the creation
00:15:35was the existence of a great director.
00:15:39I heard that you were influenced by the existence of Yonezu.
00:15:44I was very influenced by Hayao Miyazaki.
00:15:49I've loved Ghibli movies since I was a kid.
00:15:53I feel like he's been with me for a long time.
00:16:00Oh, I see.
00:16:02Shishiku?
00:16:03What does that mean?
00:16:04Personally, I think he's a teacher.
00:16:06Shishiku?
00:16:07Shishiku.
00:16:08In the sense of movie and music,
00:16:10the exit is completely different.
00:16:13As I grew up,
00:16:15I became interested in the people who made this movie.
00:16:19I remember how cool it looked
00:16:23when I was writing a book or making a documentary.
00:16:28I remember being passionate about it
00:16:31and sometimes being very passionate about it.
00:16:36I was living with the feeling
00:16:40that I was being influenced by that figure.
00:16:46He's like a mentor.
00:16:48For example...
00:16:58This song, Hien,
00:17:00is based on Miyazaki's work, Kaze no Tani no Naoshika.
00:17:08And the most influential song is...
00:17:12I'm curious.
00:17:14That's it!
00:17:16That's it?
00:17:24Produced by Ken Yonezu,
00:17:27this song was made as a cheering song for children.
00:17:31Yuta, this is really Yuta.
00:17:33In particular, Paprika is influenced by Miyazaki's work.
00:17:37That's right.
00:17:38There was an order to make it as a cheering song.
00:17:44But I didn't know what it meant
00:17:47for children to sing a cheering song for children.
00:17:52I didn't want to tell them to do their best.
00:17:55I didn't want to make them tell their children to do their best.
00:17:59When I think about the songs that children sing
00:18:02and the songs that children feel are being cheered on,
00:18:05I wonder what kind of stance I should take.
00:18:08And that's when I thought of Miyazaki.
00:18:12He's the kind of person who's always said
00:18:15that he wants to make a film that's worth living for.
00:18:19He's the kind of person who's always said that.
00:18:24So I wanted to learn from his stance.
00:18:29In the end, I decided not to underestimate children.
00:18:35That was a big decision for me.
00:18:41So what do you think a cheering song is?
00:18:44When I think about it,
00:18:47I think back to when I was a child.
00:18:50Like I said earlier,
00:18:52I remember my grandfather's scenery in the mountains.
00:18:57Playing in the river,
00:18:59watching fireworks,
00:19:01and running around.
00:19:03I think those memories have a huge impact on me now.
00:19:08So before I can work hard towards my dreams
00:19:11and make my dreams come true,
00:19:14I need to have the strength to go towards them.
00:19:18I need to be passionate about them.
00:19:22I think living in this world
00:19:26has a huge impact on the situation itself.
00:19:32I'm not trying to make fun of the fact
00:19:35that I'm working hard towards one goal.
00:19:38But I think it's a small thing
00:19:41whether you achieve your goal or not.
00:19:45I think there's a lot of value
00:19:48in being passionate about your goals.
00:19:52So I think it's my responsibility
00:19:55to tell my children to make their dreams come true.
00:19:58If I were to be cruel,
00:20:00I wouldn't be able to make my children's dreams come true.
00:20:03So if you ask me if people who can't make their dreams come true
00:20:06will be unhappy,
00:20:08I don't think so.
00:20:10I think it's important to have dreams
00:20:13and to be passionate about them.
00:20:16I think that's more important than anything else.
00:20:24Just like how he used to run around Noyama,
00:20:27he wants his children to enjoy the present.
00:20:32And just like how he inspired Miyazaki's work,
00:20:36he wants his children to grow up with excitement.
00:20:43That's the kind of passion he has for Paprika.
00:20:53Director Hayabu Miyazaki,
00:20:55you said you received an offer from him.
00:20:58What kind of offer was it?
00:21:00Apparently, Mr. Miyazaki was listening to Paprika.
00:21:05He doesn't really watch TV or other media.
00:21:12But I heard that Paprika was the only one he was interested in.
00:21:19So he asked me if I wanted to work with someone
00:21:24who was singing Paprika.
00:21:28And apparently, he said yes.
00:21:33Director Hayabu Miyazaki,
00:21:35who was a big fan of Paprika,
00:21:37heard Paprika.
00:21:40And that's how he got an offer to star in a movie.
00:21:44But...
00:21:46I felt like I was going to die.
00:21:50It was the biggest event of my life.
00:21:57Director Hayabu Miyazaki,
00:21:59who was a big fan of Yonezu Kenshi,
00:22:01heard Paprika.
00:22:04And that's how he got an offer to star in a movie.
00:22:08And that's how this song was born.
00:22:22I love this song.
00:22:24The theme of this movie is
00:22:28how you live.
00:22:31Earthly.
00:22:39The offer from Director Hayabu Miyazaki,
00:22:41who was a big fan of Yonezu Kenshi,
00:22:43must have put you under a lot of pressure.
00:22:45It was the biggest event of my life.
00:22:49It was that big?
00:22:50Yes.
00:22:51It must have taken you 4 years to get the offer.
00:22:54That's right.
00:22:55I received the script first.
00:22:58There were about 5 copies of the script.
00:23:01That's a lot.
00:23:02It was like 2 copies of Jump.
00:23:05Wow.
00:23:06It's easy to read.
00:23:08I was told to make it as freely as possible.
00:23:14It was a lot of pressure.
00:23:18It was like a map of the world
00:23:22and telling me to come back from the middle of the desert.
00:23:25That's what you were thinking?
00:23:27I was thinking, where should I go?
00:23:29That's what I was thinking.
00:23:33What did you say when you heard the script was finished?
00:23:38I felt like I was going to be executed.
00:23:41That's what you said?
00:23:42I was going to meet him,
00:23:44put it on a CD,
00:23:46and play it on the spot.
00:23:49I didn't know what to say.
00:23:52It must have taken you 4 years.
00:23:54I just said,
00:23:56this is great.
00:24:00I just said, let's do this.
00:24:04I heard that Director Miyazawa cried and was happy.
00:24:10That's what I thought.
00:24:13I don't know why, but he said,
00:24:15Suzuki-san is different.
00:24:18So,
00:24:20I feel like the truth is not clear.
00:24:25Kenshi Yonezu has had many great successes
00:24:28and led a brilliant life as an artist.
00:24:33However,
00:24:35there are times when he shows his true self.
00:24:38I'm the type to stay at home.
00:24:41I don't talk to anyone.
00:24:44I don't know what I'm thinking.
00:24:46I think I was like that as a child.
00:24:49A voice with a shadow.
00:24:53It was deeply related to Kenshi Yonezu's past.
00:24:59Next,
00:25:01how was Kenshi Yonezu born?
00:25:04Osamu Hayashi approaches the origin.
00:25:07I'm very curious.
00:25:09I'm curious, too.
00:25:10What kind of child were you in your childhood?
00:25:13I was a very shy child.
00:25:16I stayed at home and didn't talk to anyone.
00:25:22I didn't understand what people around me were saying.
00:25:29Even if I was thrown at,
00:25:31I didn't know how to respond.
00:25:34I felt like I didn't know what was right.
00:25:39So,
00:25:40I think I drew or made music to fill that gap.
00:25:48You were facing that.
00:25:50In his childhood, he didn't get along with people around him.
00:25:53It was hard for him to live.
00:25:56What filled his heart was music and manga.
00:26:02I wanted to make music when I was in junior high school.
00:26:06Until then, I wanted to be a manga artist.
00:26:08Oh, really?
00:26:09Yes.
00:26:10Earlier, you jumped at the example.
00:26:14Were you a jumper?
00:26:16I loved jumping.
00:26:19What kind of manga did you like?
00:26:21The first one was Naruto.
00:26:25I read Naruto.
00:26:27I read 5 volumes of Naruto.
00:26:30I remember that.
00:26:31You were very good at drawing.
00:26:33I wonder if you were successful as a manga artist.
00:26:36It's hard to be a manga artist.
00:26:39It's hard to be a manga artist, too.
00:26:41There is an essay of Kishimoto-san in Naruto.
00:26:48I read it when I was a kid.
00:26:55It was really hard.
00:26:58I couldn't sleep.
00:27:01I took a piece of paper and drew on it.
00:27:06You need 10 hours to sleep.
00:27:08Yes.
00:27:09It's hard to be a manga artist.
00:27:13Some manga artists die early due to lack of sleep.
00:27:19Yes.
00:27:20Mizuki-san from Gegege no Kitaro was born in 1993.
00:27:23Yes.
00:27:24She slept a lot.
00:27:25Really?
00:27:26Did you know that?
00:27:27Yes.
00:27:28Sleeping is important.
00:27:31Sleeping is important.
00:27:33Yes.
00:27:35She has been drawing since she was a child.
00:27:37Her drawing skills are highly praised.
00:27:40She draws all the illustrations of the CD cover by herself.
00:27:44In addition,
00:27:52she uses her own illustrations to make her own music video.
00:27:59What is that?
00:28:00She has everything.
00:28:02Great.
00:28:03When she was a junior high school student, she gave up being a manga artist and started making music.
00:28:10She admired Spitz and Bump of Chicken.
00:28:13She invited her friends and formed a band.
00:28:16She started from a band.
00:28:18Then, Yonezu Kenshi hit a big wall.
00:28:23I realized that I wasn't good enough.
00:28:27Basically, I'm not good at it.
00:28:34She started making music when she was a junior high school student.
00:28:40She admired Spitz and Bump of Chicken.
00:28:43She invited her friends and formed a band.
00:28:46She started from a band.
00:28:48Then, Yonezu Kenshi hit a big wall.
00:28:53You started from a band in junior high school.
00:28:56How long did you continue?
00:28:58I was a member of a band until I was 18 years old.
00:29:05But I realized that I wasn't good enough.
00:29:11You have a great musical talent.
00:29:13Why aren't you good enough?
00:29:15Basically, I'm not good enough to work with other people.
00:29:20It seems difficult to work with other people in a band.
00:29:24I often give up.
00:29:27Sometimes, I can't convey what I want to say.
00:29:33Sometimes, I don't have enough words.
00:29:36When I can't convey what I want to say,
00:29:38I become agitated.
00:29:41I'm the kind of person who is determined to do what I want to do.
00:29:47Since then, I've been making music on my computer.
00:29:55I was able to do everything I wanted to do by myself.
00:29:58When I realized what I wanted to do,
00:30:02I met Vocaloid.
00:30:05I realized that I was good enough to do everything by myself.
00:30:09Yonezu can do everything by himself.
00:30:13Yonezu Kenshi couldn't get used to being a member of a band.
00:30:18It was a light of hope for him.
00:30:22I'm Kawaii
00:30:27When you type in lyrics and melodies,
00:30:30a synthesized voice sings them.
00:30:32It's the world of Vocaloid.
00:30:34Vocaloid is a Japanese culture.
00:30:36Now, he can create a musical work by himself.
00:30:43Yonezu Kenshi started his activity
00:30:47as Hachi in Nico Nico Douga.
00:30:58From music to video,
00:31:00he uploads his own work to the site.
00:31:03You make music by yourself?
00:31:05He gets millions of views one after another.
00:31:08Finally, he became the top creator of Vocaloid.
00:31:13Looking back at the Vocaloid era,
00:31:16what do you think now?
00:31:18It's like my hometown.
00:31:21I realized that I wasn't good enough to be a member of a band.
00:31:27Then, in Nico Nico Douga,
00:31:30a community was created to promote Vocaloid.
00:31:36I thought I could join it.
00:31:41I was lucky to meet Vocaloid.
00:31:45If I wasn't good enough,
00:31:47I would have lived a different life.
00:31:52He didn't show his face, voice, or real name.
00:31:56He was Yonezu who kept making music.
00:32:03From 2012, he started his activity as Yonezu Kenshi.
00:32:10Suddenly, he decided to stand on the front stage.
00:32:15What kind of change happened there?
00:32:19I felt that it wasn't comfortable to live in this hometown alone.
00:32:40He didn't show his face, voice, or real name.
00:32:43He was Yonezu who kept making music.
00:32:50From 2012, he started his activity as Yonezu Kenshi.
00:32:59Suddenly, he decided to stand on the front stage.
00:33:04What kind of change happened there?
00:33:11It was fun to make Vocaloid music.
00:33:16I started making music because I wanted to show my face and sing in my name.
00:33:28I admired the vocalists of Vocaloid.
00:33:34I couldn't keep making music.
00:33:41There are many young people who want to be a Vocaloid singer.
00:33:48At that time, there were many people like me who wanted to be a Vocaloid singer.
00:33:58I wanted to do this and that, but I couldn't.
00:34:02That's why I became a Vocaloid singer.
00:34:08Vocaloid music was a great opportunity for me.
00:34:14I felt that it wasn't comfortable to live in this hometown alone.
00:34:29He jumped into the world of Vocaloid, worrying about the relationship between the band members.
00:34:36Will he stay in a self-sufficient world where he can do everything he wants?
00:34:43Or will he challenge his dream again?
00:34:49He decided to stand on the front stage.
00:34:53The result is...
00:35:01The number of views on YouTube exceeded 270 million times.
00:35:06Yonezu, who was trapped alone, asked Masaki Suda to collaborate with him.
00:35:15It was a touching scene at the Rugby World Cup.
00:35:22And...
00:35:25KICK BACK
00:35:30KICK BACK is the first Japanese song ever.
00:35:34From the American Record Association to RIAA and GOLD NINTENDO.
00:35:39KICK BACK produces great songs one after another.
00:35:45KICK BACK was supposed to be a top artist, but...
00:35:50KICK BACK started something unexpected recently.
00:35:55Did you go to a vocaloid training school?
00:35:57I went to a vocaloid training school about two or three years ago.
00:36:01Since I was in my thirties, I hadn't learned anything from anyone.
00:36:07I wanted to face it again.
00:36:13I asked the teacher to teach me from the beginning.
00:36:18I asked the teacher to teach me from the beginning.
00:36:23I asked the teacher to teach me from the beginning.
00:36:28It must have been hard for the teacher, too.
00:36:31I don't know.
00:36:33Yonezu's music activity is based on learning.
00:36:39The lyrics are influenced by Miyazawa Kenji, Takuboku Ishikawa, and Santouka Taneda.
00:36:50Next, Osamu Hayashi, a modern Japanese poet, approaches the world of Yonezu's lyrics.
00:36:59Yonezu was inspired by Miyazawa Kenji's literature.
00:37:03Did you get inspired by Miyazawa Kenji's works?
00:37:09Yes, I did.
00:37:10I've always liked Miyazawa Kenji.
00:37:14There's a poem called Haru to Shura.
00:37:18I wrote it when I was in my late teens.
00:37:21I wrote it when I was in my late teens.
00:37:26I was influenced by Miyazawa Kenji's works.
00:37:31I was influenced by Miyazawa Kenji's works.
00:37:37In the new album, Mainichi, Takuboku Ishikawa's lyrics are used.
00:37:46Takuboku Ishikawa's lyrics are used.
00:37:56Takuboku Ishikawa's lyrics are used.
00:38:09Why did you use Takuboku Ishikawa's lyrics?
00:38:12When I was writing Mainichi, I had a lot of work.
00:38:20I had a lot of things to do.
00:38:24When I was writing songs, I didn't just move my hands.
00:38:30I kept writing and writing.
00:38:34I wondered what I was doing.
00:38:36I wondered what I was doing.
00:38:41That's when I came up with the phrase,
00:38:44That's when I came up with the phrase,
00:38:50I thought it would be fun to use it.
00:38:56Takuboku is a person who caused a lot of trouble.
00:39:00Takuboku is a person who caused a lot of trouble.
00:39:04Takuboku is a person who caused a lot of trouble.
00:39:09I love that.
00:39:11I love that.
00:39:13I love that.
00:39:15It's a great phrase.
00:39:17It's the first time I've heard it.
00:39:21It's the first time I've heard it.
00:39:23It's the best.
00:39:25It's the best.
00:39:27It looks good.
00:39:29I met someone who understood me.
00:39:32I met someone who understood me.
00:39:35I love that phrase.
00:39:38I love that phrase.
00:39:41It's a good thing to say.
00:39:44I hope you'll continue to ask me a lot of questions.
00:39:46I hope you'll continue to ask me a lot of questions.
00:39:47In the poem, there's a shadow.
00:39:49In the poem, there's a shadow.
00:39:53In the poem, there's a shadow.
00:39:59In Yonezu's lyrics, the word Kage appears many times.
00:40:07The summer is coming, the shadow is standing, I want to meet you.
00:40:16Even so, I scattered the shadows.
00:40:21I wanted you to notice.
00:40:26Touch the light, stretch the shadow.
00:40:32Is this shadow related to death?
00:40:38Well, I think it depends on your personality.
00:40:45There is a part that the eyes go to the shadow.
00:40:50When I listen to my songs, I often hear the shadow or the dark part.
00:40:59It's a little embarrassing.
00:41:02But I think it's my personality to think of it as a motive.
00:41:09I think death has a very negative image.
00:41:18But I don't think it's just that.
00:41:23It's very natural for humans to live.
00:41:27It's one of the ways of life.
00:41:32I don't think it's something you have to hide until you die.
00:41:38I think that's why I'm alive now.
00:41:47I think it's important to make your own music.
00:41:58The more the shadow becomes colorful, the more the light shines.
00:42:03Because I'm conscious of the death of one day, I feel the vividness of life now.
00:42:10The lyrics of Kenshi Yonezu are connected to his philosophy of life.
00:42:17What happens if you say that?
00:42:19And there is a unique use of words in the song released last year.
00:42:25The movie starring Hikari Mitsushima with an industrial revenue of over 5 billion yen.
00:42:30The theme song of Last Mile, Garakuta.
00:42:34In the lyrics of this song, Yonezu listens to it when he was a kid.
00:42:38For some reason, he remembers it in his heart.
00:42:41Unexpected words are used.
00:42:46I've always liked this word since I was a kid.
00:42:49You know, there's a delivery and recovery company.
00:42:52It's like a delivery and recovery center.
00:42:55It's like running around in a car with an alarm clock.
00:42:58There are TVs, computers, home appliances, and so on.
00:43:02There's a line in the movie that says,
00:43:04It doesn't matter if it's broken.
00:43:08I heard that line a lot when I was a kid.
00:43:12I will recover anything.
00:43:15It doesn't matter if it's broken.
00:43:18There's a different sense.
00:43:20I think it's a word with a lot of nuance.
00:43:26It has a very lonely sound.
00:43:29It doesn't matter if it's broken.
00:43:34There's a lot of room to wrap it up.
00:43:37It doesn't matter if it's broken.
00:43:41Everyone has a broken part.
00:43:44We live with each one of those things.
00:43:47I don't think there's a single person who's lived with no mistakes.
00:43:52At least I wanted to fix it.
00:43:58That's how I made the song.
00:44:02I heard from an actress who was fascinated by Kenshi Yonezu's song.
00:44:08That is...
00:44:12Good evening, I'm Hikari Mutsushima.
00:44:14How are you, Hayashi-sensei?
00:44:17I'll sit down.
00:44:20Actress Hikari Mutsushima.
00:44:24They met each other in the movie Last Mile.
00:44:28What did Hikari Mutsushima see in Kenshi Yonezu?
00:44:34I can see it, but I can't see it.
00:44:37It's a mystery after all.
00:44:41He said he liked Tsunagi.
00:44:44He said he liked Tsunagi recently.
00:44:48He was actually a calm whale.
00:44:53He's tall and looks like he's swimming in the sea.
00:44:59Isn't it rare to see a tall artist?
00:45:04Mr. Hotei?
00:45:06Mr. Kiyoshi Mayakawa?
00:45:08He's tall and his legs are on the ground.
00:45:14That's why he has that voice.
00:45:17Hikari Mutsushima also had a lot of things in common with Yonezu.
00:45:25I was surprised that we had a lot in common.
00:45:30Life is like a fantasy.
00:45:33That's what I thought.
00:45:37This world is like a fairy tale or a fantasy.
00:45:42I often talk about how to drive.
00:45:49Yonezu is like that, too.
00:45:51Even if I just sit down, accidents happen and sad things happen.
00:45:55Terrible things happen.
00:45:57Even if I move, I sit down.
00:45:59I don't know how to live in that world.
00:46:03I felt like I had a similar sense of life.
00:46:10Yonezu has climbed to the top of the Japanese music scene since his childhood.
00:46:21What is the way of thinking that he cherishes in his work?
00:46:27What is the last thing that Yonezu cherishes in his work?
00:46:35I think I cherish the fact that I don't get trapped.
00:46:40I've been trapped since I was a kid.
00:46:45I've always lived in my own interest.
00:46:49I've always been alone.
00:46:53When I was a kid, I was like that.
00:46:57When I think about my favorite music,
00:47:02I like pop music.
00:47:07I like music that I can sing only for myself.
00:47:13I want to make that kind of music.
00:47:18I think I shouldn't be trapped.
00:47:23I have to tell people I'm like this.
00:47:29If I don't do that one by one,
00:47:32I don't think I can make music that reaches people.
00:47:36I think I have to cherish it very much.
00:47:42Going out may bring pain and suffering at times.
00:47:49But he still wants to connect with the world and resonate with people.
00:47:57There was a certain determination of Yonezu Kenshi.
00:48:05Yonezu Kenshi's second half.
00:48:08The reason why he decided to appear in the second half is
00:48:13that Osamu Hayashi is approaching the lyrics of the theme song of Asadora.
00:48:18I feel like I'm not good enough.
00:48:22Yonezu Kenshi's first appearance in the second half of the miracle talk show.
00:48:29Yonezu Kenshi's first appearance in the second half of the miracle talk show.
00:48:35He doesn't usually talk much,
00:48:39but he talks to Osamu Hayashi.
00:48:42He is the best singer in the world.
00:48:45This is a revolution in the world.
00:48:48I love the phrase,
00:48:51You look at a person and pray for them to die.
00:48:53I love that.
00:48:55I understand.
00:48:57That is a very special phrase.
00:48:59That is the best phrase.
00:49:03He gave several speeches on TV.
00:49:08This is how Yonezu Kenshi expressed his feelings about the video that won him the first prize on TV.
00:49:17You have a very mysterious impression.
00:49:21I don't know what kind of life you lead.
00:49:24Do you go to pubs?
00:49:26No, I don't go to pubs at all.
00:49:32But I like to drink for a long time.
00:49:37Oh, really?
00:49:38I like to drink highball until morning.
00:49:46I like to talk about music and other non-productive things.
00:49:53Oh, really?
00:49:54You don't have the image of a highball player, do you?
00:49:58No, no.
00:49:59I'm not like that at all.
00:50:00I'm just a person who doesn't drink.
00:50:02I see.
00:50:03I wake up in the morning and get on the train.
00:50:08I don't know if I can say that I work properly.
00:50:12I respect people who spend their daily lives like that.
00:50:21I think it's amazing.
00:50:24I agree with you.
00:50:26Oh, really?
00:50:27I quit my job because I can't do that properly.
00:50:31Oh, really?
00:50:32It's something I can't do.
00:50:36Without people like that, I can't live like a highball player.
00:50:41I don't think you're a highball player.
00:50:43But you have that kind of feeling.
00:50:45Yes, I do.
00:50:46I'm the type of person who stays at home alone.
00:50:49It's quite fun.
00:50:52It's true that being alone is the most fun.
00:50:57So you don't get bored staying at home and working on your work?
00:51:01No, it's fun.
00:51:02I see.
00:51:03I'm grateful for that.
00:51:06I can stay at home all the time.
00:51:09I think it's the most fun to stay at home alone and make music.
00:51:19He's the type of person who likes to make music and stays at home.
00:51:25In 2012, he started his career as Yonezu Kenshi and made hit songs one after another.
00:51:32But he rarely appeared on TV.
00:51:36Finally, Yonezu decided to appear on TV for the first time.
00:51:41And that is...
00:52:05NHK Kouhaku Utagassen in 2018.
00:52:08Yonezu's hometown, Tokushima.
00:52:11His hit song, Lemon, appeared on TV for the first time.
00:52:15He decided to appear on TV because he had feelings for Yonezu Kenshi's loved ones.
00:52:36Yonezu Kenshi's first TV appearance
00:52:48Yonezu's first TV appearance
00:52:51You appeared on TV for the first time on Lemon.
00:52:55And it was a TV show.
00:52:57Why did you decide to appear on TV for the first time?
00:53:02First of all, it was a big song that I couldn't even imagine.
00:53:09I didn't know what to do.
00:53:12So I was wondering if I should appear on TV or not.
00:53:17But I didn't want to appear on TV.
00:53:27Oh, really?
00:53:28I felt like I wasn't good enough.
00:53:32I was a bit pessimistic.
00:53:35But I thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
00:53:43It was a TV show I've been watching since I was a kid.
00:53:48And my grandfather helped me make it.
00:53:54It was like a parent-child relationship.
00:53:58I remember that feeling.
00:54:04Yonezu's first TV appearance
00:54:16Yonezu's first TV appearance
00:54:25Lemon, who put his feelings for his grandfather on the lyrics and made it complete.
00:54:43The first time Kohaku appeared, he was filled with gratitude for his dead grandfather.
00:54:49I'm not good at music.
00:54:53When I heard Lemon, I was listening to it at the cash register.
00:54:58I thought it was amazing.
00:55:00I put the lyrics in my voice memo.
00:55:03I went home and searched.
00:55:05I thought it would be a big hit.
00:55:08I told my acquaintance that I would definitely come.
00:55:11It's been played about 200 million times.
00:55:15It seems to have been out of the world twice.
00:55:19He said,
00:55:20The world is expanding at the point where it is flowing in the supermarket.
00:55:24That's right.
00:55:28Osamu Hayashi has always loved lemon.
00:55:32Even right after this studio recording.
00:55:46It's amazing.
00:55:49It's like Nobu-san's lemon.
00:55:52It's like a old road.
00:55:54He was very confident.
00:55:56He was used to singing.
00:55:57He is practicing.
00:55:59He is singing.
00:56:03He is singing in a good mood.
00:56:05I dream of you.
00:56:09A song with a strong memory.
00:56:12Osamu Hayashi analyzed the lyrics of Lemon.
00:56:18I have already analyzed the lyrics of Lemon while singing.
00:56:24If you think it's different, please tell me.
00:56:30Osamu Hayashi paid attention to the lyrics at the end of the chorus.
00:56:49Even now, my light is repeated three times.
00:56:56Even now, my light is repeated three times.
00:57:03It's a paradox.
00:57:06Even now, my light is repeated three times.
00:57:12I am a person who teaches modern music.
00:57:15The main message of this poem is that you are my light.
00:57:19It is important to convey this.
00:57:22I think he filled in the rest of the phrase later.
00:57:26I think he filled in the rest of the phrase later.
00:57:30I've already said that on TV.
00:57:33The only thing that is repeated three times in this song is that you are my light.
00:57:39This is the main message.
00:57:42I think he filled in the rest of the phrase later.
00:57:50I didn't expect this kind of opportunity to come true.
00:57:54I didn't expect this kind of opportunity to come true.
00:57:56I didn't expect this kind of opportunity to come true.
00:57:59I think it's the opposite.
00:58:02I think it's the opposite.
00:58:04I couldn't think of the last part of the lyrics.
00:58:11I was wondering what to do while recording and singing.
00:58:19I was wondering what to do while recording and singing.
00:58:27I was wondering what to do while recording and singing.
00:58:33I think you should stop thinking about it.
00:58:38I realized that I was writing this song to get to that point.
00:58:47I think he's saying the same thing.
00:58:55I realized that I was writing this song to get to that point.
00:59:05I'm glad you saved me.
00:59:10You are my light even now.
00:59:14It's a different way of saying it.
00:59:17This is the main message of the song.
00:59:23This is the main message of the song.
00:59:26You are my light even now.
00:59:32I think he's expressing a strong love for the person he can never meet again.
00:59:39I think he's expressing a strong love for the person he can never meet again.
00:59:42It's a very selfish song, isn't it?
00:59:45Is that so?
00:59:46Yes, it's very selfish.
00:59:48Even though I'm asking you to forget it, I can't forget it.
00:59:53It's a very contradictory song.
00:59:58But I think it's good that music has that kind of thing.
01:00:02I don't care if there's something that can't be divided.
01:00:07In everyday life, if you have something that you can't give up,
01:00:12and you're in contact with people,
01:00:14there's always something going on somewhere.
01:00:16There are things that are not allowed in society.
01:00:20But at least in music,
01:00:23in that field,
01:00:25you can accept it.
01:00:27That's fine.
01:00:29That's how it is.
01:00:32I think it's a great thing that selfishness can resonate beautifully.
01:00:44It's true that selfishness is selfishness,
01:00:47but isn't it also human to think that it's best to forget it?
01:00:51That's right.
01:00:52Inoue, you're a big fan of Yonezu, aren't you?
01:00:55Yes, I am.
01:00:56Yonezu's songs have beautiful lyrics.
01:01:00There are a lot of lyrics that make you feel like you're reading a novel.
01:01:04There are a lot of things that resonate with me.
01:01:09The beauty of the lyrics written by Kenji Yonezu.
01:01:14There, the influence of literary figures such as Kenji Miyazawa, Takuboku Ishikawa, and Santouka Taneda,
01:01:20who have been reading Yonezu since childhood,
01:01:25was actually part of the theme song of the morning TV series,
01:01:29Tora ni Tsubasa,
01:01:31Sayounara Mata Itsuka.
01:01:34Kenji Yonezu, who also wrote the modernized version of Hayashi Osamu,
01:01:38had his own way of doing it.
01:01:41The theme song of the morning TV series, Tora ni Tsubasa, is also in charge.
01:01:46In the first place, what kind of concept did you start with
01:01:50when you started writing the theme song of Tora ni Tsubasa?
01:01:54I'm not very familiar with Asadora.
01:02:01I started with wondering what Asadora's music was like.
01:02:06In fact, when he received the offer to write the theme song,
01:02:10he had some trouble.
01:02:13In the first place, Asadora, Tora ni Tsubasa,
01:02:16is based on the story of Yoshiko Mibuchi,
01:02:19who became the first female judge in Japan in the early Showa period.
01:02:25The story depicts the lonely struggle of a woman
01:02:29who works as a lawyer to help women and children.
01:02:35I thought Asadora's music was fresh and suitable for the morning.
01:02:45In the first place, Tora ni Tsubasa was based on feminism.
01:02:55So I had to think about how to approach it as a man.
01:03:01I couldn't avoid it.
01:03:06So I was quite nervous.
01:03:11I didn't want to interfere with women's rights.
01:03:16Even if it had little effect on my music,
01:03:22I didn't want it to be like a piece of wood.
01:03:27I think that's a bad way to look at it.
01:03:32I remember thinking that I should make music
01:03:37after understanding it properly.
01:03:40In the second place, Asadora, Tora ni Tsubasa,
01:03:43is based on the lyrics of the song,
01:03:46Sayounara Mata Itsuka Ni Wa Shigururu Ya Shigururu Machi E Ayumi Iru.
01:03:49It's a song by Taneda Sankouka.
01:03:56The theme song, Tora ni Tsubasa,
01:03:58is about the lonely struggle of a woman.
01:04:02Yonezu Kenshi used Taneda Sankouka's make-up.
01:04:10Shigururu Ya, Shigururu Yama E Ayumi Iru.
01:04:16In the song,
01:04:18Shigururu Ya, Shigururu Machi E Ayumi Iru
01:04:23Soko Kashiko de Sobe Fureru
01:04:27Yonezu turns mountains into cities.
01:04:31Why did you use this phrase?
01:04:34I've always liked this phrase.
01:04:39I like the sound of Shigururu.
01:04:46I don't use it on a daily basis.
01:04:49You mean it's good when it rains in winter, right?
01:04:53I'm a singer,
01:04:55so I think the fun of the sound
01:04:59is easy to remember.
01:05:02I've always remembered it like that,
01:05:05and I thought it would go well with the song.
01:05:09That's why I used it here.
01:05:13Taneda Sankouka was originally
01:05:17about mountains, not cities.
01:05:20But in this song,
01:05:22you go to a city,
01:05:24and you meet a lot of people
01:05:26in Soko Kashiko de Sobe Fureru,
01:05:28but there's nothing there.
01:05:30In the original work,
01:05:32there's nothing in the mountains.
01:05:34But in this song,
01:05:36you go to a city,
01:05:38and you meet a lot of people
01:05:40in Soko Kashiko de Sobe Fureru,
01:05:42but there's nothing in the mountains.
01:05:45The story of Tora ni Tsubasa
01:05:47is about people
01:05:49who can't understand
01:05:51what's going on around them.
01:05:53Even if there are a lot of people
01:05:56around you,
01:05:58if you can't share that,
01:06:00it's not the same as loneliness.
01:06:03You put that together
01:06:05with the story of Sankouka
01:06:07being alone in the mountains.
01:06:09That's right.
01:06:11When I saw this work,
01:06:13the first thing that came to my mind
01:06:15was that Soko-tsu
01:06:17had succeeded.
01:06:19I need an explanation for this,
01:06:21so could you explain it to me?
01:06:23Osamu Hayashi,
01:06:25fascinated by these lyrics,
01:06:27had something he wanted
01:06:29to show Kenshi Yonezu.
01:06:31This is about the Tokyo University in 2003.
01:06:33It's a sentence
01:06:35written by Motoaki Shinohara,
01:06:37a famous teacher of Kyoto University.
01:06:39It's a story about
01:06:41quoting past works
01:06:43and writing a poem.
01:06:45If you want to quote past works,
01:06:47you have to go to the past.
01:06:49That's a short-cut.
01:06:51If a poet actually
01:06:53uses his current work
01:06:55as a perfect work
01:06:57in his own work,
01:06:59it's Soko-tsu.
01:07:01I see.
01:07:03Shinohara-san
01:07:05has a unique way of saying it.
01:07:07The moment I saw this,
01:07:09I knew it was Soko-tsu.
01:07:11I see.
01:07:13He was very conscious
01:07:15of his own work.
01:07:17I see.
01:07:19I usually say that,
01:07:21but he said Soko-tsu.
01:07:23That's interesting.
01:07:25This is a work by Takumi Nii.
01:07:27He changed his style
01:07:29to fit the loneliness
01:07:31of the city.
01:07:33No one pays attention to this.
01:07:37This is a work
01:07:39inspired by a novel.
01:07:41It's Yonezu Kenshi's
01:07:43latest album,
01:07:45Lost Corner.
01:07:47The title is...
01:07:49The title is
01:07:51Lost Corner.
01:07:53It's a novel by
01:07:55Takumi Nii.
01:07:57He wrote
01:07:59Don't Leave Me.
01:08:01I really like that novel.
01:08:03There's a land
01:08:05called No Fork
01:08:07in England.
01:08:09It's a place
01:08:11with nothing.
01:08:13So people call it
01:08:15Lost Corner.
01:08:17It means
01:08:19a lost land
01:08:21or a place
01:08:23where children
01:08:25used to play around
01:08:27and have fun.
01:08:29But as time goes by,
01:08:31it changes
01:08:33into a place
01:08:35where they pray
01:08:37for salvation.
01:08:39Even if they lose
01:08:41something in life,
01:08:43they pray
01:08:45that they'll find
01:08:47everything in Lost Corner.
01:08:49That's
01:08:51what I feel.
01:08:57Yonezu Kenshi's
01:08:59latest album is
01:09:01based on the movie
01:09:03Last Mile.
01:09:05Last Mile
01:09:07is a hit drama
01:09:09starring Satomi Ishihara.
01:09:11It's called Unnatural.
01:09:13It's a drama starring
01:09:15Gen Hoshino,
01:09:17Go Ayano,
01:09:19and Yonezu Kenshi.
01:09:21It's a suspense movie
01:09:23that connects the world
01:09:25of both series.
01:09:27Director Ayuko Tsukahara
01:09:29and screenwriter Akiko Nogi
01:09:31directed all three movies.
01:09:33Yonezu Kenshi
01:09:35was in charge of the theme song.
01:09:37But when he wrote
01:09:39the theme song,
01:09:41something happened
01:09:43to Yonezu Kenshi.
01:09:45This is my second song.
01:09:47The first song was a failure.
01:09:49Did someone tell you
01:09:51it was a failure?
01:09:57When he wrote the theme song
01:09:59for Last Mile,
01:10:01something happened to Yonezu Kenshi.
01:10:03This is your third movie
01:10:05with director Tsukahara.
01:10:07How was it?
01:10:09Did you get used to it?
01:10:11It's a new story
01:10:13every time.
01:10:15It's a new story
01:10:17every time.
01:10:19But it was my third movie.
01:10:21It was a new story.
01:10:23It was a new story.
01:10:25It was a new story.
01:10:27I heard the movie itself
01:10:29was based on the same world.
01:10:31Is there anything
01:10:33connected to the song?
01:10:35I thought about it.
01:10:37I thought about it.
01:10:39This is my second song.
01:10:41The first song was a failure.
01:10:43The first song was a failure.
01:10:45Did Yonezu Kenshi
01:10:47tell you it was a failure?
01:10:49I thought so too.
01:10:51I thought so too.
01:10:53I talked about it
01:10:55in the first two movies.
01:10:57I talked about it in the first two movies.
01:10:59I didn't like it at all.
01:11:01I didn't like it at all.
01:11:03Who said it was a failure?
01:11:05Who said it was a failure?
01:11:07I don't know myself.
01:11:09They said
01:11:11It's not a good way to say it.
01:11:13I see. There are ways for adults to refuse, too.
01:11:18The theme song, Galacta, was remade and completed.
01:11:22Who are you?
01:11:24Hikari Mitsushima, the lead actress, heard the title and thought,
01:11:28Galacta, huh?
01:11:30At first, I watched the movie, including the song, for the first time at the screening.
01:11:38I had no idea what kind of song it would be.
01:11:41At the end, I said,
01:11:43Galacta!
01:11:46Masaki Fukada and I said,
01:11:48Our theme song is Galacta.
01:11:52But when I listened to the song,
01:11:56I felt pain.
01:11:58I felt pain in my heart.
01:12:02I felt pain in my heart.
01:12:09It's okay to be alone. It's really okay to stop.
01:12:12It's okay to be alone. It's really okay to stop.
01:12:14At the end, I felt like I was wrapped in the movie itself.
01:12:19At the end, I felt like I was wrapped in the movie itself.
01:12:23What's strange is that it's not in the movie.
01:12:26The emotions that I couldn't explain were added to the music.
01:12:33I felt like the movie was getting richer.
01:12:37I thought it was amazing.
01:12:40Kenshi Yonezu's songs have the power to add new colors to the movie beyond the framework of music.
01:12:50That's why he's the only one chosen as the theme song for many movies and dramas.
01:13:01He started writing songs alone in the world of vocals at the age of 18.
01:13:08Kenshi Yonezu is now at the forefront of the music scene.
01:13:13His activities are not limited to Japan alone.
01:13:17In 2023, he received the RIA Gold Certificate from the American Record Association for his first Japanese song.
01:13:29He is also highly regarded in the world.
01:13:34And the other day, he announced his first world tour.
01:13:40However, Kenshi Yonezu is struggling with this world tour.
01:13:47I think I can do it by myself.
01:13:52Kenshi Yonezu announced his first world tour the other day.
01:13:58However, Kenshi Yonezu is struggling with this world tour.
01:14:05Recently, many Japanese artists have a sense of the world.
01:14:11Do you have a desire to spread your music to the world?
01:14:16I don't want to be locked up in a cage.
01:14:21I'd be happy if more people listen to my music.
01:14:25I'd be happy if it was outside of Japan.
01:14:30But I think I can do it by myself.
01:14:35I like Japanese music.
01:14:38I'm familiar with the expression of Japanese music.
01:14:43I don't want to be locked up in a cage.
01:14:51I'd be happy if more people listen to my music.
01:14:59I'd be happy if it was outside of Japan.
01:15:02It's hard for foreigners to understand your music.
01:15:08That's right.
01:15:10I'm starting from that point.
01:15:17I'd like to change my music.
01:15:22I'd like to change my music.
01:15:26I'd like to change my music.
01:15:32Yonezu wants people all over the world to listen to his music.
01:15:38Yonezu has been reading Japanese books since he was young.
01:15:42He wants to preserve the beautiful Japanese language of Japanese writers.
01:15:49Yonezu wants to preserve the beautiful Japanese language of Japanese writers.
01:15:53Yonezu will continue to create great music.
01:15:59I think we still have a lot of wealth.
01:16:07I think we still have a lot of wealth.
01:16:11I think we still have a lot of wealth.
01:16:20I think we still have a lot of wealth.
