Yuzu Live “GO HOME” - Tomodachi no Uta (Friends’ Song)

Back when we were students, we were always together and could laugh about anything, but as adults we all go our separate ways and sometimes feel like we’re being crushed by society.

This is a friendship song filled with the resolve to pause for a moment, remember those silly yet precious times with friends, and start smiling again tomorrow.

Harukaze

Every time the spring breeze blows, past memories come rushing back…

Yuzu’s songs delicately portray such bittersweet emotions.

It begins with a scene of remembering a lover on a rainy day, then shifts to memories vividly revived by the spring breeze.

It’s more than a simple heartbreak song; it can be seen as a piece that symbolizes the journey of life.

Released in March 2007, this work gains an even grander and more moving atmosphere with Taro Hakase’s violin.

It’s a recommended track for those about to take a new step with the arrival of spring, or for anyone striving to walk forward while holding dear memories close to their heart.
