Bridge of Gloryyuzu
I used to like Yuzu so much that I even joined their fan club, but I drifted away around the time they started appearing in the media.
Even so, I came to love this one song.
When I listen to it together with that gymnastics team commentary, I get moved to tears, even though I’m not an athlete or anything.

Hana is an enchanting track with a beautiful sound that makes you want to listen to it in the summer.

All of the YouthFujifaburikku
Among Fujifabric’s songs, the highly popular number “Wakamono no Subete.” It’s a heart-tugging track that conveys the indescribable poignancy of summer’s end.
