Kenshi Yonezu Tickets

Kenshi Yonezu started out making songs on his computer under the name Hachi, using a synthetic singing voice, and ended up with the first Japanese-language song to go Platinum in the United States.

A musician, producer, and illustrator, he draws his own album covers and directs many of his own videos, so his concerts feel like a complete artistic world.

His 2018 song "Lemon" topped Billboard Japan's year-end chart two years running, and "Iris Out" later reached number five on the Billboard Global 200, the highest-ever placing for a Japanese-language song.

What to Expect from a Kenshi Yonezu Concert?

A Kenshi Yonezu show is built on stagecraft, with large-scale visuals, theatrical lighting, and animation that echoes the illustrations he creates himself.

He leads a tight live band, and the setlist alternates between sweeping ballads and fast, rhythm-heavy numbers from his anime and film themes.

Yonezu is known for letting the music and visuals carry the evening, with relatively little talking between songs.

Crowds range from longtime fans who followed him from his Vocaloid days to newcomers who discovered him through Chainsaw Man.
