Diorama

diorama is the first album by Yonezu Kenshi. It was released physically on May 16, 2012, and digitally on June 8, 2012. It peaked at #6 on the weekly Oricon album chart and #10 on the monthly, as well as charting for 64 weeks.

Yonezu had planned the album since 2010 and did all the singing, writing, producing, arrangement and mixing. He did not collab with anyone for the album, as he felt he wasn't good at communication at this time. It took him a year and a half to complete the album.
