My True Self / “Yuika” [MV]

When taking the first step into a new life, everyone feels both excitement and anxiety.

This song by Yuika gently embraces both.

The lyrics, which affirm even your weaknesses and clumsiness as part of “who you are,” resonate deeply.

It carries a warmth that tells those who tend to overwork themselves for others that it’s okay to value yourself more.

Released in October 2024 as the ending theme for the TV anime “The Yokai Schoolteacher Has Arrived!” this is the first time a song written and composed by Yuika herself has been used as an anime theme.

While pop and bright in tone, it’s filled with her signature style of carefully depicting honest, down-to-earth emotions.

It’s a must-listen for anyone facing graduation and stepping into a new environment with uncertainty.

You don’t have to be perfect—this song gives you the push to live for yourself.

I Want to Become a Ghost / “Yuika” [MV]

This is the opening theme song for the TV anime “Wataru-kun’s XX Is on the Verge of Collapse,” which began airing in July 2025.

It’s especially popular among students, and some of my students who like Yuika have been singing it too! When I listened to the song, my impression was that the rhythm in the chorus is tricky.

If you try to sing before memorizing the melody, you might not know where to break phrases or where to breathe.

If you hum along while listening, you can memorize the melody, and once you can hum it lightly, you’ll be able to relax and sing more easily.

The chorus uses the same melody with only slight changes to the lyrics, so once you get past that part, it should be easier to sing.

Also, if breathing is difficult, don’t try to sing everything at 100%; try easing your voice in little by little.

When you hit a spot where you can think, “I can breathe here!” take a deep breath!

This commercial conveys not only the deliciousness of Shaka Shaka Potato, but also the thrill of seasoning it yourself, as seen through Masato Sakai enjoying it.

His bursting smile while shaking the fries is especially memorable, and the way he keeps eating with a smile afterward expresses a sense of happiness.

Further emphasizing the fun atmosphere of the footage is the song performed by Yuika.

The lyrics, which evoke the sound of shaking the fries, are striking, and set to a light rhythm, they convey a gradually rising excitement.

What I Chose / “Yuika” [Music Video]

Released in December 2025, this work was written specifically for a nationwide Zepp tour and was previewed live before its official release.

The lyrics, which strikingly explore the idea that if everything were a fate we chose for ourselves, perhaps life would feel a little easier, leave a strong impression.

Centered around acoustic guitar, the warm sound seems to deliver the words directly and conveys Yuika’s resolve to have chosen singing as her weapon.

If you’re feeling uncertain about life’s choices, give it a listen.

I Can’t Be a Princess / “Yuika” [Official Audio]

YUIKA, who first drew attention in 2021 with songs that took off on social media and recently released her first album “Yearning for Indigo” in June 2024, is still fresh in our minds.

Released digitally in February 2026, this new track was written as the ending theme for Season 2 of the TV anime “It’s Time for ‘Torture,’ Princess,” and its down-to-earth lyrics paired with a refreshing sound feel so good.

While longing for dazzling ideals, the lyrics also wish to learn to love one’s real self and everyday life—something that may warm the hearts of those feeling worn out by daily routines.

It’s a positive pop tune whose straightforward vocals give you energy for tomorrow.
