About these sets
Singles 2024–2026. The eight standalone singles Kenshi Yonezu released after LOST CORNER, from "Azalea" in late 2024 to "Yodaka" in 2026, none of which belongs to an album. It includes "IRIS OUT" and "JANE DOE", the two songs he wrote for the Chainsaw Man film. The vocabulary leans on the plain words these songs are built from: train gates and crowds, cheeks and bare feet, growing up, enduring, being lonely, and being proud.
LOST CORNER, Part 3. LOST CORNER (2024) is Kenshi Yonezu's fifth album, and these six tracks close it out, including Chikyugi, the theme he wrote for Miyazaki's The Boy and the Heron, and the title track. The words here are the plain ones the songs lean on: going back, noticing, muttering, taking something away, warming your hands, turning a globe. Most of them are the kind you would use in an ordinary conversation before you ever use them in a lyric.
LOST CORNER, Part 2. The middle stretch of LOST CORNER (2024), Kenshi Yonezu's fifth album, including the Tiger & Dragon drama theme "Sayonara, Mata Itsuka!" and "Tsuki Wo Miteita", written for Final Fantasy XVI. These songs stay close to ordinary speech, so the vocabulary is the kind you reuse: verbs of motion and leaving, everyday adjectives, and concrete nouns. Twenty-four words drawn evenly from the six tracks, each with an original example sentence.
