Having reached audiences across the globe with his eclectic J-pop style, KENSHI YONEZU today announces his sixth studio album LOST CORNER will be available worldwide on Wednesday, August 21.
Included within the 20-track collection are selections from Yonezu’s creative output the last four years, including “Spinning Globe,” his theme to Hayao Miyazaki’s Oscar-winning film The Boy and The Heron, “KICK BACK,” his history-making track that became the first-ever Japanese language song to reach RIAA® Gold certification, plus eight brand new never-before-heard songs.
LOST CORNER is richly packed with total of 20 tracks, including an illustrious collection of songs Yonezu has released in the last 4 years: “Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! – Sayonara” (theme song to the NHK Morning Drama The Tiger and Her Wings), “Garakuta – JUNK” (theme song to the film Last Mile), “Spinning Globe” (theme song to Oscar winning Studio Ghibli film The Boy and the Heron), “M87” (theme song to the film Shin Ultraman), “Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing” (theme song to FINAL FANTASY XVI), “KICK BACK” (opening theme to the anime series CHAINSAW MAN), and more. Rounding out the collection are eight never-before-heard tracks, including a vocal song duet with Japanese singer, actress, idol and former member of Bish, AiNA THE END.
LOST CORNER marks Yonezu’s highly anticipated follow-up to 2020’s STRAY SHEEP, which broke previous IFPI Global All Format Chart records and became the highest-placing Japanese artist ever to appear on the IFPI year-end global ranking chart, and shipped over 1.9 million cumulative CD units. That same year, he became the first Asian artist ever to collaborate with FORTNITE for a virtual event – STRAY SHEEP in Fortnite. The innovative and global virtual concert, which reached the game’s audience of over 350 million players, is just one of the many contributing factors to Yonezu’s ever-growing acclaim both within and outside of Japan.
