Sung by singer-songwriter Yuuri, this work unfolds as the final chapter in the story that follows Kakurenbo and Dry Flower.

Released in February 2023, it is also included on the March 2023 album “Ni.” Rather than being a tie-in for TV or film, it gained popularity by evoking memories of past hits as you listen.

Starting from street performances and spreading through social media, singer-songwriter Yuuri has now become a leading figure in the J-POP scene.

Released in November 2022, this work is his first-ever Christmas song.

Its heartrending lyrics, where faded scenery interweaves with feelings that won’t disappear, grip the listener’s heart tightly.

Also included on the following year’s album “Ni,” the song is quintessentially Yuuri, focusing less on festive splendor and more on the loneliness of “not being able to meet.” When singing it at karaoke, the key is to be mindful of the dynamics—from the quietly spoken opening to the chorus where emotions overflow.

On nights when the winter chill makes you long for someone, or when you want to heal the pain of a broken heart, why not take your time and really listen?

Triggered by a video post on social media, Yuuri broke out and has since become a leading figure in the J-pop scene.

This song was released digitally in February 2020 during his indie days, and its lyrics, which sharply depict society’s indifference and loneliness, really pierce the heart.

Later included on the album “Ichi,” the track made a solid mark even before his major-label debut, earning the weekly No.

1 spot on the USEN indie ranking.

Unlike his signature sweet love song “Dry Flower,” this work carries a raw, tingling tension, which in turn allows the singer’s emotions to be expressed more directly.

In karaoke, rather than fixating on pitch, if you pour feeling into each word and sing as if speaking to the listener, the song’s appeal will truly shine.

The raw depictions of an unattainable love—like displays of affection used to hide true feelings—are sure to pierce the heart.

Released as a single in November 2025, it sparked buzz after being performed on the opening night of the Asia tour.

It’s a song that offers solace to those suffering from a forbidden love or wishing to break free from a toxic relationship.

This song skillfully weaves in childhood memories.

Released by Yuuri in September 2022, it is positioned as an after-story to “Kakurenbo.” It’s a medium-tempo J-pop rock track packed with Yuuri’s signature style.

His performance on YouTube’s “THE FIRST TAKE” drew attention, and the song ranked high on Billboard Japan’s weekly charts.

The lyrics are striking for likening a past self who didn’t recognize his feelings and a present self chasing after the other person to a game of tag.

It’s recommended for those who’ve experienced heartbreak or who want to reassess their relationships with someone important.

It’s also relatively easy to sing, so give it a try at karaoke.

Yuri “Airship” Official Music Video

This is a cheer song from Yuri for those charging toward their dreams.

The overall vocal range is B2–A4, which is a common key, so many men may find it easy to sing.

However, be careful: there are big leaps from low to high notes throughout, which can make you strain.

Suddenly pushing out high notes puts a lot of stress on your throat.

It’s important to prepare your voice—keep a few things in mind before singing.

For example, when you run, which helps you gain speed more: with a run-up or without? It’s the same with singing.

If you go step by step—open your throat → inhale → project the voice with momentum—you can sing without forcing it.

Let’s make sure to master each step one by one!

This is a heartwarming ballad written and composed by Yuuri, included on the album “Ni,” released in March 2023.

Its narrative lyrics, depicting a journey into space and the bonds of the family left behind, are sure to bring listeners to tears.

Though set against the grandeur of the cosmos, the song ultimately sings of intimate, urgent love, and Yuuri’s powerful yet gentle voice resonates deeply in the heart.

The song also gained attention as the first picture-story show (kamishibai) style music video directed by Ryohei Shingu.

The poignant story, drawn with lines and empty space, further elevates the song’s worldview.

Because it so delicately expresses the feeling of cherishing someone dear, it’s a perfect track for a quiet night when you want to immerse yourself in the lyrics alone.
