Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

It’s a track whose fresh yet somehow wistful melody hits you in the chest, like a flashback to summer days gone by.

Created by the unit Yorushika—composer n-buna and vocalist suis—the song portrays the brilliance of youth and the bittersweet sense of loss that comes with growing up, using literary lyrics that feel as if you’re reading a short story.

The protagonist’s pent-up feelings left unsaid and the fading memories they confront are rendered with delicate nuance through suis’s clear, pure vocals.

This piece is included on Yorushika’s May 2018 mini-album “No Encore for the Lonely Loser,” and its uniquely animated music video, directed by Waboku, further accentuates the song’s world.

On streaming platforms, it surpassed 300 million plays in October 2023, showing just how deeply it resonates with many listeners.

In December 2019, it was also used as background music for the opening visuals of a live show by the comedy duo “Tarinai Futari.” Listen to it on a slightly lonely late-summer evening, or when you find yourself reminiscing and feeling sentimental, and its poignant charm may sink even deeper into your heart.

This song, with its unforgettable beautiful melody and profound storytelling, moves the hearts of its listeners.

Released digitally in February 2023, it was used as the theme song for TBS’s Tuesday drama “Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu.” Packed with Yorushika’s distinctive worldview, the piece prompts reflection on growth, hope, and the human condition.

The music video combines clay animation with live-action footage to create a unique visual work themed around the “breath and cycle of life.” It’s a perfect song for those who want to sing their hearts out at karaoke and shed some tears.

If you sing it with feeling, you’re sure to feel refreshed.

Yorushika – Nautilus (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Nautilus, the song included at the end of Yorushika’s 2019 album Elma.

The album is a concept album—one record that tells a story—and this track is a key piece that closes it out.

The lyrics carry a bittersweet narrative that may stir a quiet nostalgia, making anyone recall their own past in some way.

It’s a song I’d like you to listen to with an empty heart when you feel like crying.

Liar MoonNEW!Yorushika4rank/position

Liar

It is a ballad marked by the quiet melody of the piano and Suis’s gentle vocals.

Through vivid depictions of scenes in the rain and the symbolic image of drinking down moonlight, it delicately portrays the protagonist’s emotions as they face loss and loneliness.

Produced in June 2020 as the ending song for the Netflix feature-length animated film A Whisker Away, the piece was composed by Yorushika’s n-buna to reflect the film’s worldview while capturing the atmosphere from spring to early summer.

It is a song that will deeply resonate with those who wish to relive a fragile yet beautiful page of youth, as well as those who have experienced parting with someone dear.

Yorushika – Night Journey (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a moving song where a literary narrative and Suis’s pure vocals resonate deeply in the heart.

The melodies crafted by n-buna delicately portray the stillness and loneliness of the night, as well as a glimmer of hope.

Listening to this piece feels as if you’re standing beside the characters, and it might even bring some listeners to tears.

Released in March 2020, it is also included on the highly acclaimed album “Tōsaku” (“Plagiarism”).

This masterpiece won an award at the 13th CD Shop Awards in 2021, and it beautifully colored the story as an insert song in the anime film “A Whisker Away,” released in June 2020.

It’s perfect for listening when you’re gazing at the night sky alone or when you need a gentle push forward.

It’s an ideal song for those who want to feel the emotions woven into the lyrics.

Yorushika – Left-Right Blindness (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This is a song by Yorushika that was released digitally in 2022.

Many of you may know it as the theme song for the film Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight.

The title term “sayūmō” refers to a state where one can’t distinguish between right and left.

It perfectly captures the protagonist’s painful feelings as their memories with someone important gradually fade, as depicted in the lyrics.

It’s a track that will make anyone who’s seen the film cry, but it’s also a deeply moving, heartrending ballad that I’d recommend even to those who haven’t watched the movie.

Please forget it.NEW!Yorushika7rank/position

Yorushika – Please Forget (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

A song by Yorushika whose gentle melody and soul-soothing vocals evoke a sense of nostalgia.

The theme centers on self-sacrificial love, as the narrator wishes for their beloved to “forget” them for the sake of the beloved’s future.

Yet behind those words seems to lie a desperate, contradictory feeling of “I actually don’t want you to forget,” and that tension tightens the listener’s chest.

Released in July 2024 as the theme song for the drama “GO HOME: Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department—Unidentified Persons Consultation Office,” this sentimental number quietly stays by your side on nights when you’re nursing heartbreak or immersing yourself in memories of someone dear.
