Kanno was born in Saitama, Japan. He attended junior high school in Kawagoe before later moving to Takanezawa for university. While attending school, he was fascinated by Impressionist and Modern Classical Music. He graduated from the Tokyo College of Music, department of composition, film scoring course and started providing music for movies, commercials, and artists while he was still a student.
On December 14, 2007, Kanno held his first orchestral concert which, according to his website, "started with a strong desire to listen to live music." His first orchestra concert was held at Suntory Hall's Blue Rose in 2007. In 2016, "Symphony No. 1 ~ The Border ~" was premiered by the Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra in April 2019. In 2012 he began work as a painter after casually painting a portrait of a friend who came by while he was in the studio.
Under the influence of his father, he grew up listening to jazz and classical music from an early age. He started learning the piano at the age of four, became obsessed with soccer and piano in elementary school, and lived a sensitive boyhood in junior high school, taking charge of percussion instruments in his school's brass band club. After entering high school, he started giving composing lessons and aimed to enter a music college. In 1997, he entered the university of Tokyo College of Music. In 2004, he made his debut at the age of 27 in the Fuji TV drama series "Last Christmas". Since then, he has been active in a wide range of music production such as movies, TV dramas, animations, and documentaries.

旅立ち
菅野祐悟 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
僕の気持ち 手紙に託すよ
朝焼け いつもの駅で ただ「気をつけて」と
笑えるように yeah
人生の目標進む君へ
後ずさりなんか出来ないリレー
泣いて帰ったら許さねー!
人生の1ページ刻む旅路
『不安』と『孤独』で少し寂しい
でもそれは僕も同じだから
笑顔で送り出すと決めたから
あれは去年 春の出来事で
駅のホームで 君にぶつかって
スゴイ法則 見つけだせたんだよ
『恋に落ちる=時間じゃない』
夕暮れ色染まる君の
自転車を 2人乗りで駅まで
笑い 走れたのは 今じゃ昔
明日 旅立つ君へ
僕の気持ち 手紙に託すよ
朝焼け いつもの駅で ただ「気をつけて」と
笑えるように
あの日 君が いつものデートで
僕に「あのね、言いづらいんだけど、、、、」
夢を求めて 旅立つと言ったね
君の涙と共に
夕暮れ色染まる君の
横で 肩を落とすのは もう止めた!
「行っておいで!」と 涙こらえ
2人の距離を 埋める言葉を
探し 選んで 君に送るよ
隣でいつも 笑ってた君 でも大丈夫
わかっているよ 君が好きだから
小さな手に 大きなカバンを 抱え君は
「少しの間、、、」と
朝焼け いつもの駅にホラ
桜の花びらが舞い降りた
午前0時 明日 旅立つ君へ
僕の気持ち 手紙に託すよ
朝焼け いつもの駅で ただ「気をつけて」と
笑えるように 「またね」と言えるように
人生の目標進む君へ
後ずさりなんか出来ないリレー
泣いて帰ったら許さねー!
踏ん張れ!頑張れ!まだ知らない地で
人生の1ページ刻む旅路
『不安』と『孤独』で少し寂しい
でもそれは僕も同じだから
笑顔で送り出すと決めたから
