Kenshi Yonezu — Lemon

Kenshi Yonezu's signature ballad is back across the global charts after a five-week absence, appearing on 76 country and platform charts today. Written as the theme for the Japanese medical drama Unnatural and released in 2018, Lemon became the best-selling digital single in Japanese history, topping Billboard Japan's Hot 100 year-end chart for two consecutive years. The grief at its center — a song addressed to someone who has died — gives it unusual staying power; it remains one of the most-sung tracks at Japanese karaoke. Yonezu's profile abroad has only sharpened lately, with his work scoring Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc and a new theme, "Yodaka," cut for the latest Kingdom live-action film. Each new placement sends listeners back to the catalog's anchor.
