Yuzu 'Natsuiro' MUSIC VIDEO

I think Yuzu’s “Natsuiro” is a song that brings back memories of those nostalgic midsummer junior high school summer vacations.

From the very beginning to the end, it evokes familiar scenes of summer and makes me feel a refreshing breeze, so it’s a classic for me that I always listen to in the car during the summer.

Early Spring Ode

Early Spring Ode | With Lyrics | Spring In Name Only, The Cold Of The Wind | Songs and Lyrical Songs for Adults | Romanized: JP subs / English: EN subs

Early Spring Song (Soshunfu), selected as one of Japan’s 100 Best Songs, is a piece that captures both the excitement of taking on something new in spring and the anxiety that can accompany it.

The word “Soshunfu” itself means a poem written in early spring.

True to its title, lyricist Issho Yoshimaru is said to have conceived the song after witnessing a beautiful spring landscape.

One of the song’s charms is its exquisite choral arrangement divided into low and high voices.

Give it a try in your practice.
