YANKEE

 is the second album by Yonezu Kenshi. It was released on April 23, 2014, in 3 editions: a regular CD Only, a limited CD+Photobook (Artbook), and a limited CD+DVD edition. It peaked at #2 on the weekly Oricon album chart and #6 on the monthly.

This album had no real concept when it started to difference it from diorama, compared to recording the former album at home, he took a deal with Universal Music Japan to find people with similar musical ideas. He decided to work with a band, as he felt he needed to get used to dealing with other people's input and opinions.

The cover features a deer's skull on a background of patterned circles and swirls.
