TOKYOYUI8rank/position

YUI　『TOKYO ～2012 in FUKUOKA～』

TOKYO, in which singer-songwriter YUI candidly writes about her own life-changing move to Tokyo, is her fifth single, released in January 2006.

It was also included on the album FROM ME TO YOU released in February of the same year, and despite having no tie-in, it has continued to be deeply loved as a signature song from her early period.

Set to a sound that layers the warmth of acoustic guitar with the driving force of pop rock, the lyrics straightforwardly sing of hope, anxiety, and loneliness.

Perhaps it’s so moving because it captures unvarnished, down-to-earth, shifting emotions—not just glittering success.

It’s a reassuring number that quietly stays by your side and gives you a gentle push, along with tears, at the moment you leave your hometown for studies, work, or any new first step.
