Yuzu “3 Count” Music Video

In fact, Yuzu’s “3 Count” originally had the title “Out of Range.” There’s an anecdote that when it was chosen as an image song for the JRA, the title was changed because the original phrase wasn’t ideal in the context of horse racing.

The lyrics, which try to affirm one’s way of life by saying, “Every day makes you want to run away or feels futile, but that’s not so bad,” resonate with horse racing, where all-or-nothing gambles unfold.

Kanata

The song used in JR West’s Sanyo–Kyushu Shinkansen through-service commercial (Mizuho/Sakura), Kumamoto & Kagoshima edition, is Yuzu’s grand medium-tempo ballad “Kanata.” It’s included on their 2011 album “2-NI-.” The chorus that expands out from the spoken, conversational parts leaves a strong impression.

Yuzu are also known for large-scale songs like this one, which seem to pair perfectly with sweeping vistas and majestic natural scenery.

It’s a song that resonates with feelings that grow stronger over distance—love for one’s hometown, and the desire to go see the people you miss.

It’s also a perfect match for the Shinkansen, which carries so many people’s feelings as it runs.

It was released in 2015 as a digital-only single by Yuzu.

The song was used in a Sapporo Beer corporate commercial, with lyrics and composition by Koji Iwasawa.

Yuzu “Pedestrians First” Music Video

Yuzu, a folk duo from Kanagawa, has a song called “Hokousha Yuusen” (Pedestrians First) with exhilarating, soaring high notes.

The Pocky commercial that featured this song starred actress Satomi Ishihara, and the student coming-of-age storyline together with the song’s vibe conveys Pocky’s healthy image.

Also, there was a service at the time called “My Pocky,” where photos you took with your own camera could become the Pocky package—so those who remember it might feel a bit nostalgic!

Yuzu 'Beautiful' Music Video

In Nippon Life’s commercial, a message reading “Mutual support builds the future” appears over footage of the Japan national basketball team in action.

Literally, it means that the players are empowered by the support of basketball fans—but it also perfectly applies to how insurance works.

It’s a wonderful commercial that conveys the company’s philosophy while igniting the hearts of viewers.
