This led to a long-running hit, making it one of PERSONZ’s signature songs.

This work is memorable for its powerful plea for help.
With its brisk tempo and moving melody, it captivates listeners’ hearts.
Released in July 1965, it was a massive hit, spending three weeks at number one in both the UK and the US.
It was also included on the soundtrack of the film “Help!” and ranked 29th on Rolling Stone’s 2004 list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
It was even used as the theme song for the 1989 TV drama “Asobi ni Oide yo!” It’s the kind of song that can give you courage when you’re troubled or in need of support.

This is YUI’s signature song, which served as the theme for a Monday 9 p.m.
