There’s even an anecdote that after it was performed on a TV show, word of mouth spread and it became an explosive hit—that song is “Jusan-ya.” It’s an original piece written by singer Masashi Sada.

The title “Jusan-ya” refers to a Japanese moon-viewing tradition, essentially the Japanese counterpart to the “Jugoya” custom that came from China.

In the song, the bittersweet feelings of two people who can hardly meet are sung about.

The key stays relatively steady, so it should be easy to sing even for karaoke beginners.
