A Poem to Giveyuzu
This is a hugely popular Yuzu song—so well-known that there might be hardly anyone who doesn’t know it even now.

BIRTHDAYAnne-Marie
If you want to fully enjoy your birthday while feeling like a princess, Anne-Marie’s song might be just the thing.
Released in February 2020, the track was later included as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of her album “Therapy.” Known for often singing about exes in the past, she created this shimmering, happy pop tune with the desire to “sing about happiness.” It delivers a powerful, self-affirming message: on your birthday, be as selfish as you like and do everything you want! Use it for a YouTube Short showing you and your friends partying in glamorous, music-video-worthy outfits, and you’re sure to make the day unforgettable.
It’s the perfect BGM for a special day when you want to indulge yourself to the fullest.
