BetelgeuseYuuri22rank/position

Yuuri / Betelgeuse | Piano Solo

Betelgeuse, the eighth major digital-only single by Yuuri, released in November 2021.

With total streams surpassing 400 million, it has become one of Yuuri’s signature songs, not only for his own performance video but also for cover videos by well-known artists and creators that have racked up astonishing view counts.

Centered on the theme of human connections, its piercingly heartfelt lyrics and Yuuri’s expressive vocals are particularly compelling.

When performed on a delicately toned piano, the song takes on a calm, mature character—and deliberately slowing the tempo to create a gentle atmosphere is highly recommended.

Mizukiri

Singer-songwriter Yuuri, whose moving vocals continue to captivate many listeners.

This track, included on his first album “Ichi,” released in January 2022, was written as an insert song for the Fuji TV drama “SUPER RICH.” The way the world becomes tinged with color through love and the sparkle of moments when the distance to someone precious grows smaller overlap with the image of a stone skipping across the water, striking straight to the heart.

Though an album track, it boasts such popularity that it has surpassed 100 million streams, and it is cherished as one of Yuuri’s signature songs.

With a structure that lets emotions swell toward the chorus, it’s perfect for times when you want to sing with feeling, or belt it out comfortably at karaoke.

“The Strongest” band session ver.

An uplifting cheer song that inspires the drive to move forward with strength! This piece was chosen as the opening theme for cour 2 of Season 7 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.

Yuuri’s energetic vocals fuse with the band’s sound to give listeners a powerful push.

It carries messages of courage to keep standing up without giving up, and the strength to believe in yourself and move forward—resonating deeply with those facing setbacks or hardship.

It’s the perfect track before an important game or showdown, when taking a new step, or whenever you want to fire yourself up.

reincarnation

Yuri’s high-energy “Rinne Tensei” has an awesome band-driven vibe that makes your body move on its own! Since the intro sits in the low-to-mid range, it should be relatively easy for low-voiced male singers to handle.

However, the tempo is on the faster side, so if you try singing before memorizing the lyrics, you might fall behind—better to listen closely and get it in your ears first.

The range rises in the latter half, but if you keep your body grooving and project with momentum, your voice will follow.

Don’t be afraid—have fun with it!

Smartphone WarsYuuri26rank/position

Smartphone Wars

Smartphone Wars, released in 2022 by singer-songwriter Yuuri—who skyrocketed to fame with the tear-jerking breakup song Dry Flower—pairs a subtly tense melody with lyrics from a woman’s perspective.

She’s worried by how often her boyfriend’s phone rings and wonders, “Is he cheating…?” debating whether to check his phone to find out.

Many listeners can likely relate to the tug-of-war between wanting to trust him and the mindset where, once something seems suspicious, everything starts to look that way.

"Kachō-fūgetsu" acoustic ver.

If you want to sing something comfortably at karaoke, how about “Kachou Fuugetsu”? It’s included on the album “Ichi,” released on January 12, 2022.

The lyrics are sprinkled with the message of valuing your true self.

Try to aim for a warm, heartfelt vocal delivery.
