Yuzu 'Sho'

As the title “Sho” suggests, it seems to be a song themed around “taking flight.” It’s a song about people’s hardships and those who support them.

In the music video, the story depicts an elementary school–age boy and girl parting ways due to moving.

Goodbye Busyuzu18rank/position

Goodbye Bus / Yuzu (Cover)

A gem of a love song that gently wraps farewells and reunions in an acoustic sound.

It’s a heartwarming track you’ll want to listen to as spring arrives.

The protagonist’s hidden feelings and regrets are portrayed over a tender, bittersweet melody.

Yuzu’s refreshing vocals continue to resonate with those experiencing springtime goodbyes.

Released in March 1999 and included on the album “Yuzuen,” it was also featured as an insert song in the NHK morning drama series “Yanchakure,” capturing fans’ hearts.

It’s a song we hope those parting from someone dear, just before starting a new chapter in life, will listen to.

As a spring anthem that gives you the courage to take a step toward the future, it comes highly recommended.

Yuzu “Tobenai Tori” MUSIC VIDEO

This song is one where Yuzu’s Iwasawa takes the lead vocals, and it’s quite high-pitched.

The A section sits low and is sung almost like spoken word, so it’s relatively easy and calm, but the pitch shoots up right at the start of the B section.

The highest note is C#5 in the chorus, and there are lots of long sustained notes, so it can be tough unless you’re constantly resonating in the head.

For reference, my student also struggled quite a bit from the B section, but once they worked on a head voice that resonates up top, they were able to sing the whole song.

Because it’s a high song, you might focus only on the high notes, but the surprising pitfall is actually the low parts.

It’s easy for the pitch to sag and turn into a throaty sound, so keep your eyebrows raised even as the melody changes—just like Iwasawa does—when you sing.

Aim for Iwasawa’s crystal-clear voice!

Until the Day We Meet Again / Yuzu — Sign Language Chorus

March is a season when you may part ways with friends, such as at graduation.

Yuzu’s “Mata Aeru Hi Made” is a song filled with strong friendship and the wish for each other’s growth.

Even when you’re separated, if the friendship is real, you can believe you’ll meet again—it’s an encouraging song.

Yuzu Sentimental sentimental

A single released in 1999 by the folk duo Yuzu.

You can hear Yuzu’s raw love songs from their twenties, recorded shortly after their major-label debut.

The two members of Yuzu were in their early twenties at the time, and many of their songs resonated with teenagers.

“Sentimental” carries the meaning of emotional or affective.

It can also be taken as the feeling of a young man, now an adult, recalling a love from his boyhood.
