Yuzu’s Birthday Song and Popular Songs Ranking [2026]
It’s been over 20 years since their debut, but the fact that people still remember they started as street musicians really reminds me that their success is proof of their genuine talent.
I’ve put together some popular birthday songs by the highly skilled duo, Yuzu.
Yuzu’s Birthday Song
A Poem to Giveyuzu1rank/position

It’s said that this song was written by Yuzu for a fan who celebrated their birthday back when they were performing street gigs.
Yuzu are famous now, but in the days before that, they probably didn’t have much time or money.
That’s why the lyrics, which speak of giving a special “song” of their own, really hit home.
Some high school students aren’t allowed to have part-time jobs and can’t buy presents for friends or partners, right? In times like that, try giving them this song as a gift.
Song of a Friendyuzu2rank/position

A song woven around the theme of friendship, brimming with kindness and warmth.
Released in September 1999 as the commercial song for Ezaki Glico’s “Pocky Chocolate,” it became a major hit for Yuzu and is also included on their album Yuzuen.
Innocent memories with a friend, the tenderness of caring about each other’s lives, and the awareness of what changes and what remains constant over time are all carefully interlaced.
With its gentle acoustic guitar tones and Yuzu’s signature warm harmonies that resonate in the heart, this piece is perfect for gifting to a cherished friend at a wedding, and for conveying the joy of celebrating the couple’s new life together as part of their circle.

This is “Megami” (Goddess), a track from the 2006 album Ribbon, which Yuzu’s Kitagawa described as a hymn to women.
It’s told from the perspective of a man who meets a woman he loved in his youth after a long time.
Though she once seemed unreliable, she now shines with strength as she lovingly nurtures a baby in her womb.
The man feels the sanctity of life and realizes that he, too, was born into this world loved in the same way.
It’s a song that conveys the mystery of pregnancy and childbirth from a distinctly male point of view.

This song really conveys a gentle care for the other person.
Even if it’s someone you love, it’s not easy to love so wholeheartedly and express it like this, is it? It would be wonderful to sing this song and convey your feelings for them.
I want to protect youyuzu5rank/position

It’s a ballad imbued with a powerful yet gentle vow to protect your loved one no matter what.
It was included on a single released in November 2013 and later featured on the album “Shinsekai” (New World).
Created as the theme song for the film “It All Began When I Met You,” it expresses a desire to stay by a loved one’s side and support them through any hardship—a feeling that overlaps with parental love and makes my heart swell each time I listen.
Give it a listen when you want to reaffirm your love for your child.
