#god i love kenshi yonezu

[kisasan]

“You will always be

the light that brightens

my entire world…”

[bingus35]

Hachi’s old songs speak to my soul. The eerie dissonance, his strange crude art style, the way everything looks so jittery and alien and frightening. Like bro how the fuck does someone depict this level of mental anguish and loneliness and emptiness………

[hoshiina]

I just read your latest hoshina fics and i trully am mopping TT really really love angst comfort and you really execute it well. If you dont mind me asking, what's on your wips? I would like to send a request but i am afraid it would be similar with your other wips

STOP THIS IS LITERALLY SO SWEET I CRIED THANK YOU SM FOR ASKING (ALSO NOW I JUST GET TO YAP) I fear they're hardly wips and more like just outlines or ideas but for like angst comfort specifically I have

hoshina can't forget his highschool sweetheart

you can't get over narumi gen (GOD KNOWS WHY) and hoshina waits for you to look his way

hoshina had convinced himself at some point that he literally existed for mina and there was no other reason for him to live until you came around (but I feel like this is really similar to a lot of other ones I've written so it's kind of just sitting there for now....)

hoshina keeps trying to let you go to keep you out of danger/let you find someone better — inspired by tightrope from the greatest showman

vague idea of hoshina hating this awful world with kaiju everywhere where nothing is safe ever but because you're around to act like it's a lovely place to be he's like... well maybe it's not so bad — inspired entirely by nighthawks by yonezu kenshi

and then I have a few more completely unrelated blurbs here and there that I will probably merge together or expand on I will leave them as pictures

HOWEVER YOU ARE ALWAYS SO FREE TO JUST SEND IN YOUR REQUEST I will give it good thought I promise !! (also apologize for my slow writing in advance)

and if any of these are to your liking you can also lmk I will try to prioritize it !!

[animemusicbrackets]

HERES THE BRACKET. FINALLY. GOD.

sorry for the wait u_u

(Text version, with dates under the cut below)

For franchises that had more than one submission, I grouped them together so that after round 2, there will only be one contestant per franchise. to try to be fair or whatever, so that a small number of franchises dont dominate the bracket

yes i know mdzs and tgcf arent anime but its my poll tourney and i do what i want godbless

this might be too much to ask but please watch the videos if you can and vote based on that! idc how much you like or dislike the anime, how much do you like the OPENING. obviously this is for fun so you can do whatever but if possible i dont rly want this to be a popularity poll :')

[colorisbyshe]

Monthly Music: March 2024 A STACKED MONTH!

Music that was released in or around March!

"Damn!" Zack Bia & Teezo Touchdown. Nasty dance track that pulses in your veins and takes you over, a bit.

"Miracle" Bayside. Pretty typical Bayside track but if you want some quality yet accessible alt rock, here we are.

"Ghost - Lofi" Mystery Skulls. Remember Mystery Skulls? Here's an instrumental reconstruction of their old song to study to. Very lullaby-adjacent. They did LOFI versions of the whole album but this is the most effective transformation.

"Not Sorry" & "Edible" & "Tell Me What You Want" Flo Milli. These three tracks are very different highlights off of it. TMWYW is the most experimental beat but I think Edible is my favorite.

"I'm Ready" Chung Ha. Cunty kpop. Not her cuntiest track but... if you want a track to motivate you to work out and then do a death drop... give it a shot.

"I Can't Run" Real Farmer. This song has a raw quality--the vocals, the guitar, the bass all feel like they're stumbling past but they're going on an adventure you want to follow them on. Loud, demanding.

And the complete opposite, "Walk Like This" by Flo is smooth, slick, and a perfect update to a more nostalgic R&B vibe. Poppy and perfectly constructed.

"Kira Kira" Fancylabo. Lovely, synthetic Jpop. Perfume fans, check in here.

"Collarbone" Izzy Spears. Beats to ache to. Emo rap with a transcendental beat.

"Your Money, My Summer" Everything Everything. They released a full album and it's all great but this is a stand out for me because "God knows I wanna go home" as a refrain just... burrows into your soul and hollows out everything in its way. Alt rock. Of the non-pre-release singles, "Don't Ask Me to Beg," "Enter the Mirror" (the most commercial track, I think), & "Buddy, Come Over" are my favorites, though I loved the whole album.

"Value" Ado. If you like Queen Bee, check out this track. Ado's singing is so rich and haunting. J... pop rock? Pop opera? I don't know how to quantify Ado's sound.

"Year of the Vulture" The Wonder Years. Emos go check it out.

"Arintintin" Rico Nasty & Boys Noize. Crazy frog ass song. Horny, nonsensical, silly, horny. This mini album is kinda all over the place--a nostalgic sound without necessarily capturing the full vibe but I'm having a blast.

"Pull the Rope" Ibibio Sound Machine. Almost discordant, I think I can't do justice to describing this song, so I'll steal an excerpt from their website: "the golden era of West-African funk & disco [meets] modern post-punk & electro."

I did listen to the Beyonce album. I kinda thought some of it was... too clean? Too smooth? IDK, it needed more grit on top of the twang, but that said, stand outs for me are "Tyrant," "Daughter," "Bodyguard," "Riiverdance," and "II HANDS II HEAVEN." Also, I know I sound insane saying it sounded too slick when I normally love slick production but the very clean vocals kinda felt almost... separate from the instruments idk how to explain it.

Kavinsky fans should try listening to Justice & Miguel's "Saturnine," it has the night drive thrum.

"Digital Magic" Le Youth. Classic Le Youth sound, just good electronic music. I'm a digital feline!!!!! Overly yearning vocals for a dance track that doesn't warrant it, you LOVE to see it. For more dance music, Nia Archives has another track off her upcoming album, check out "Unfinished Business" if you want more UK drum & bass that strikes the soul.

I was gonna do a small section of throwback songs I'm into but this post is already jam packed?? So, in brief, "Shinigami" Kenshi Yonezu (fun, anime-esque Jrock), "Back on my Feet" Boom Boom Satellites (electric, intense JRock), "Dip It Low" Christina Milian (sexy 2000s pop R&B), and not quite a throwback but not from this month "Bella" Alé Araya (lowkey and yet sensual).

[tothepointofinsanity]

HI!! I love your sayaka art and thoughts SO much QwQ I was just wondering if you had a sayaka playlist or some songs you associate with her in general :-)?

Thank you very much!! 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ I’m really happy to hear that you like my works and thoughts about her. As for the playlist and associated songs, I believe I have answered a similar ask in the past, but you might need to scroll quite a while to reach it, so don’t worry.

I technically have a Spotify playlist for her, but some of the songs are predictably just there for the “vibes” [well, most things I like are based on the vibes to begin with], so the select picks I like to commonly associate with her are primarily vocaloid ones:

Maretu Collection: Packet Hero, Umitagari, White Happy, Aishiteitanoni, Brain Revolution Girl, Girl Eraser, SIU, Uminaoshi, Angel 92, Miseenen, Magical Doctor.

Maretu songs tend to cover the dark troubles of girlhood, and since Sayaka is always Going Through It, the songs are edgy and snappy enough to convey discontent.

Obligatory Mitski Tracks: Stay Soft, Washing Machine Heart, Your Best American Girl, Liquid Smooth, Why Didn’t You Stop Me, Francis Forever, First Love/Late Spring, A Pearl, Love Me More, Nobody, This Is A Life.

It wouldn’t be a Sayaka playlist without Love songs broaching desirability. Also listen for MadoSaya vibes if you like.

Miscellaneous Vocaloid Mix: Alien Alien (Nayutalien), God-ish (PinocchioP), I’m Glad You’re Evil Too (PinocchioP), Yes I Am (ItimatuSuzuka), MAD HEAD LOVE (Kenshi Yonezu), Reason for Existence (Tsukuyomi), Kalmia Dolls (?).

Miscellaneous Pop Mix: Fool Moon (Anteros), Sports (Beach Bunny), Dreamcatching (Magdalena Bay), All The Things She Said (t.A.T.u), Such Great Heights (The Postal Service), Cupid (Jack Stauber).

Songs ranging from melancholic to a bit more feel good ones. Also contains Love on the tin. I hope this was a satisfactory response, thank you for the ask!!

[karlyboyyy]

Songs and Ships Tag

Rules: write about two to five songs from them that represent your a ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said wip (if possible!) underneath it.

thank you @surroundedbypearls for the tag!! I absolutely LOVE songs and playlists for ships, so this was perfect 😍 sadly I don’t have enough songs built up yet for ghostie boys (and I also don’t have enough WIP), so instead I used KamAllen60 from my Elder Gods series.

Horse and Deer by Kenshi Yonezu

To what should I compare you and me?How to describe the similar wounds on our heels? If this thing isn't love, then what would you call it? I didn't have any idea…

“I need no home. I stay where it pleases me most to be.” Connor says eventually, his voice unusually soft in the still hush of the moment. It is the truth, just as it was when he answered before. No lies, not between the two of them. He feels Allen’s hands tremble for a moment before finally squeezing his in reply. The silence is no longer oppressive. They sit in it together until they wrap their bodies around each other under the blankets of Allen’s bed.

Have to Explode by The Mountain Goats

The stage is set: Someone's gonna do something someone else will regret I speak in smoke signals and you answer in code The fuse will have to run out sometime

Connor isn’t crying, but Elijah is. Tears are crystallizing on his cheeks as he sobs quietly - he’s hungry, his body aches, and he’s exhausted from carrying the weight of Connor’s grief on top of his own anger. Connor stares at the vast horizon of white where it meets gray and wishes it would swallow them both up whole.

Love from the Other Side by Fall Out Boy

I saw you in a bright clear field Hurricane heat in my head The kind of pain you feel to get good in the end Good in the end Inscribed like stone and faded by the rain "Give up what you love" “Give up what you love, before it does you in"

Allen feels the way his breath must tickle against the fine hairs at the back of Connor’s neck as he speaks, because it is the back of his neck now too. There is no space between them, between the two or perhaps the three. Connor can’t leave without him, for the same reason Allen can’t just accept the way things used to be, for the same reason Elijah can't stop himself from crawling towards the promise of another day. It’s because Allen isn’t the only thing that rose out of that dark earth changed - this love they share between them is different now too. 

But it’s still love, in the same way that he’s still human. And that is more than enough for him. It’s more than enough for all of them.

I’ll tag @sinclairsolutions @did-i-do-this-write @your-absent-father @fae-swamp-witch @kaylinalexanderbooks but only if you want to! C:

[okumura-senseixxx]

Kenshi Yonezu and his music is as close as we can get to the handwriting of God.

I mean look at this guy-

I love all of his songs, there isn't a single one that I hate or dislike. I could talk about this man all day.

And for those wondering why I'm suddenly sharing this thought at 3:46am, it's because I'm listening to this song on repeat at the moment:

"M87" by Kenshi Yonezu✨✨

Okay that's all.✨

[lizzybeth1986]

Character Playlist: Hayden Young

I realised this year that even though Hayden's was the first appreciation week I'd ever organised, I had never gotten around to creating my own playlist for them. And I've always had songs I associate with them...so I figured now would be the best time to compile them!!

Most of them deal with similar themes of self-discovery and love - both themes I find in abundance in Hayden's story. There are three foreign-language songs, for which I'll attach the translations - one Hindi, one French and one Japanese.

Tagging @haydenyoungappreciationweek and @sazanes for HYAW Day 1: Indescribable! Find the Spotify list here!

On a Day Like Today - Bryan Adams

On a day like today the whole world could change

The sun's gonna shine, shine thru the rain

On a day like today no one complains

Free to be pure, free to be sane

In the Lap of the Gods (Revisited) - Queen

No beginning, there's no ending

There's no meaning in my pretending

Believe me, life goes on and on and

Forgive me when I ask you where do I belong

Indescribable - Olivia Broadfield

Too indescribable

I've got to think it over

When you kiss me like that.

Too indescribable

I've got a sinking feeling,

I don't like where this is at.

It's My Life - Bon Jovi

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted

No silent prayer for faith-departed

And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud...

All the King's Horses - Karmina

There is a reason I'm still standing

I never knew if I'd be landing

And I will run fast, outlast

everyone that said no...

Safar - Masala Coffee

Duniya ik kitaab, padhna hai pura

The world is a book; I will read every page of it.

Raahi hoon main hamesha...

I am a traveller, I have always been...

Nayi duniya nayi ruhan

New worlds...new souls...

Rahat har raah deti hai

Every road gives me solace

Safar hai takhti musafir ki

The voyage awaits its voyager

Manzil ki parwah kahaan...

Who cares where the destination is!

Lyrics and Translation

What was I Made For - Billie Eilish

Think I forgot how to be happy

Something I'm not, but something I can be

Something I wait for

Something I'm made for

Alone Part II - Alan Walker, Ava Max

We all need that someone

who gets you like no one else

Right when you need it the most

We all need a soul to rely on

A shoulder to cry on

A friend through the highs and the lows

I'm not gonna make it alone

anatomy - kenzie

It's just anatomy, you're only half of me

And still, you don't know me at all

You've been my missing piece, so why aren't you missing me?

Guess I meant less than I thought

(while the original context of this song was about the singer's feelings about her father's abandonment of their family, I thought the lines worked well for a Hayden thinking about a parent that didn't exist 😞)

Sun - Sleeping At Last

Our once barren world now brims with life

That we may fall in love

Every time we open up our eyes

I guess space, and time

Takes violent things, angry things

And makes them kind

Dernière Danse - Indila

Je remue le ciel le jour, la nuit

I move mountains, day and night

Je danse avec le vent la pluie

I dance with the wind the rain

Un peu d'amour, un brin de miel

A little love, a bit of honey

Et je danse, danse, danse, danse, danse, danse

And I dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, dance

Et dans le bruit, je cours et j'ai peur

And in the noise, I run and I'm scared

Est ce mon tour

Is it my turn?

Vient la douleur

Here comes the pain

Dans tout Paris, je m’abandonne

Throughout Paris, I abandon myself

Et je m'envole, vole, vole, vole, vole

And I fly, fly, fly, fly, fly

Lyrics and Translation

Then You Look At Me - Celine Dion

Day by day

I find my way

Look for the soul and the meaning

Then you look at me

And I always see

What I have been searching for

I'm lost as can be

Then you look at me

And I am not lost anymore

orion - Kenshi Yonezu

Even in dreams, my heart is somehow never at its best—

So don't bother worrying... about my grievances and tears.

Pulling a string from my unraveling sweater, I constantly tried to weave a constellation,

Using our fingers as the stars.

It ended up so terribly haphazard that we both had to laugh!

If you were truly there with me in that moment... that's more than enough

Lyrics and Translation

You Gotta Be - Des'ree

Listen as your day unfolds

Challenge what the future holds

Try and keep your head up to the sky

Lovers, they may cause you tears

Go ahead, release your fears

Stand up and be counted

Don't be ashamed to cry

[at-least-ill-die-a-lionturtle]

You know how I shared my ikesoren playlist forever ago? I thought I'd share my FFXIV playlist now though it's audience is, uh, just me.

Some background: some songs are for generic WoL, but my specific WoLs are a female Au Ra named Yukiko Shirogane and a male Viera named Freyr Cyfddydd. They are both reincarnations of Azem, as Freyr almost died when he was born, splitting his soul in two. Their relationship is ultimately that of "like brother and sister".

Main ship in the playlist is Freyr/G'raha (so, m!WoL/G'raha), Freyr/Haurchefant, and also some scattered Hythades references. The playlist order is roughly chroniclogical.

Adult Children - Kanzaki Iori (Freyr's backstory)

I wanted to be the same, too; I wanted to be born into a loving family We'd laugh together, say "It's great to be alive." Let this unchanging day end. Let this day where I can't change end.

2. Dernie Traveler’s Diary - PIPPO (all WoLs)

If I can simply go on like this, singing to myself, to keep myself smiling, then it’s all good, even if I can’t touch anyone else. As long as I can still see their hearts, I’m happy simply singing to myself, smiling, even if no one can feel me here.

3. Wonderland and the Sheep's Song - Hachi (all WoLs)

In the rain shelter of the candy shop, I awaited God's return So, shall we sing? The sheep's song! With that lantern in your hands, Illuminate everything, so like the sun...

4. Chignon Solider - seeeeecun (Freyr during ARR climax, with flashbacks to the fall of Dalmasca)

“Raise the flag of retaliation!” I cried. I’ve become an adult just so that, to the lives of humans, I can… That is your “atonement” to your mother. I will simply never stop believing that.

5. Flamingo - Kenshi Yonezu (ARR G'raha -> Freyr)

You're a fla-fla-fla-flamingo, A dazzling fla-fla-fla-flamingo You dance away, stumbling and laughing, never to return Only loneliness and jealousy remain Thanks for your business - treat me better next time...

6. Vampire - DECO*27 (Freyr -> Haurchefant)

You’re a vampire too It’s OK if you suck me up, go ahead “I can’t take it anymore” I want you to make me say it too I could never do it with anybody else, let me praise you

7. Cactus and Mirage - Jakkan-P (Freyr -> Haurchefant)

You're a mirage, Like some impossible dream, Lying on a desert bed, And when the sun goes down, You're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone, you're gone, Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

8. BugLug - seeeeecun (Fray -> all WoL)

Yes, yes, in that case, I’ll do it, so cease your grumbling. The child cries gratingly. The ultimate of love and hate concentrate from a slovenly direction onto a single point. A man-to-man portrait of the dead in a bug-manipulating ending summer.

9. Kimi no Taion - Kuwagata-P (Freyr -> Haurchefant)

Flowers wither and the moon wanes Another season passes That you were here, feeling and touching you fades away as if nothing was there

10. Strangers - Heavenz (Yukiko -> Freyr)

"There was someone, there was someone..." I must have clung to that phrase. The enveloping sounds are just noise, and through it I can't pick out anything But you, you were still there, weren't you. That is to say, we are like lost children but we are not all alone.

11. Brainwashing - Neru (Yukiko & Freyr)

If you follow the tracks of tears on my cheeks At the end of them, Abandoned and starved, My dreams have frozen

12. Namida - MARETU (StB Fray)

The flowing blood and tears, tears dye you darker and darker. Take out your blades, your blades. It hasn't stopped beating yet, right? Your heart.

13. Ideals and Wars - Inumaru Shibaigoya (8th Umbral Calamity!G'raha -> all WoLs)

Even though your shadow is already gone, your noble ideal, determination, and views will keep in living within me. I shall be the one to fight this time. If I have fought until the moment I reach the end of my days, pray let me tread on your shadow, my God.

14. Six Feet Under - Aqu3ra (Ardbert)

Give back the time I lost Who was it that got in the way? It feels as though I’ve forgotten both what I liked and what I hated The goddess smiled as if making a bargain It seems she won’t wait for the proper timing

15. Red Tears - nekobolo (Crystal Exarch -> Freyr)

I'm sorry, for building a wall around me. I'm sorry, for being a coward. I love you, it's true. But I can't open the door to my heart.

16. Toosenbo - wowaka (Crystal Exarch -> Freyr)

I won't let you through. I'm the only one playing hide-and-seek. It's an innocent spoiled child's dream, "Please keep your eyes off me. Please let go of me. Smile with your innocent eyes!"

16. Android Girl - DECO*27 (Freyr -> Crystal Exarch)

Android girl, I’m out of my mind. I know you’re mine and mine alone, but “who” are you anyway? Even though I’d had faith in us the whole time, the whole time...

17. Ars - Sekikomi Gohan (Crystal Exarch -> Freyr)

I, who fantasizes over an optimistic view of life, will stay lonely In my final moments, I put everything about the reason I lived in this lethargic smile that will never reach you

18. Dramaturgy - Eve (Emet-Selch)

I can’t escape from this box. I came to that sad realization and wanted to escape. We were all playing our parts, Making our way towards the credits.

19. Tiara - Sekikomi Gohan (Emet-Selch -> Hythlodaeus)

My oath to love you forever and to share the pain together Alone, I proclaim it under the waning moon Shining Tiara, here is proof of my pure love

20. Two Breaths Walking - DECO*27 (Crystal Exarch & Freyr)

The front foot I’d half-put out to come over and embrace you Has somehow started to hurt you The words I just learned become a knife that pierces through you Tearing your life to pieces

21. Eine Kleine - Kenshi Yonezu (G'raha -> Freyr)

To have everlasting sorrows and open seams, but also you; How happy I would be to smile and say, "It was for the best"... Everything before me seems to blur and dissolve; A flood of miracles wouldn't be enough... Because you called my name... Is it all right if I call your name?

22. The Defeated Boy - Kemu (Crystal Exarch/G'raha)

After struggling and running, I had somehow ended up standing where I am I'd wanted to become someone that everyone would admire, a hero - but I couldn't

23. My Name is Love Song - Neru (G'raha & Freyr) (translation)

Please don’t treat me so nicely; the wounds at the depths of my heart will open up If you do that, I’ll end up by your side for life While singing “please don’t treat me so nicely,” I ended up forgetting my own name Now, we’ll call out our names with the same voice, waiting for someone to come

24. Pierce the Clear Blue Sky - Kasamura Tota (Freyr -> G'raha)

You dumbass, you don’t have the right to go and die You’ve got to be happy, it’s your job to stay by my side forever So let me take on those pains that won’t ever leave you alone If you go off somewhere without me, I’ll never, ever forgive you

25. Cynicarealism - TaKU.K (Venat -> Emet-Selch)

At long last, you’re smiling, I see. But even if your lid’s a bit loose, who could blame you? Your heart is unsullied. The morning star appeared in the sky today. What a beautiful picture it makes. I could almost forget about even the deplorable Avici hell. Alas, if only he had survived, the world may have been sullied, but the two of you could have swindled the world, escaped it, and arrived at——

26. Teo - omoi (Yukiko & Freyr -> Meteion)

Not a single one left behind We'll reclaim every last piece, that's all Until the magic wears off - until then, Hold on tight to my hand, my hand My hand!

I enjoy it but I'm not cultured in it by any means HAHA 😭

This will be a long post - but you don't need to read or listen to it all! But I do hope you'll be able to find something nice!

Halfway through this post I realized I loved too many songs, so I'll stick to just three of the more popular songs for each artist 😭😭😭 if you liked the songs here, you'd enjoy the rest of the artist's songs too!

Inabakumori

You can also look at the cover songs for rhythm games like Project Sekai and Garupa/BanG_Dream! They often cover popular vocaloid songs, and I'm sure you'll find something you love! Thanks for the ask and hope I didn't bore u!💖
