Thank you for noticing his lyrics. They are wonderful indeed. This song is the theme for the morning drama Tora ni Tsubasa (tiger with wings) it’s about Japan’s first female lawyer and judge. So the lyrics reflected the hardships the main character Torako(could be interpreted as “Little tiger”) face and her determination despite those conditions. Also. The story of the drama happened approximately 100 years ago (~1930s) so that’s were the line about 100 years come from

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. This song is the theme song for a drama about the birth of Japan's first female lawyer almost 100 years ago. He says that the genre of his songs is "J-POP," but his fans say that the genre is "KENSHI YONEZU." Each of his songs has a different atmosphere. Please give it a listen. The Japanese he uses is a little difficult and beautiful even for Japanese people.

Also yeah his appearance in this video is quite different, and stereotype-breaking It’s to fit with the theme of the song

This is the theme song for the serial drama. The story begins before World War II and depicts the hardships faced by women entering the legal profession and their struggle against the discrimination that abounds in society, regardless of gender, age, or occupation. Seeing Spring Beyond Hell represents the ideal society that can be seen beyond the harsh process.

I would like you to listen to a song called Ghosts of the Sea by Kenshi Yonezu. Please.

please react Kenshi's another mastrepiece,"spinning globe" which is the theme of "Boy and Heron". You know its a movie Hayao Miyazaki produced. its awsome!!!

Kenshi Yonezu is genius and there is another genius in Japan, Fujii Kaze. Please check Shinunoga E Wa live at Nippon Budokan 2020, Matsuri (festival), Hana(flower). Let me also suggest Tiny Desk Concert live at NPR channel!
