Yuzu “Tobenai Tori” MUSIC VIDEO

This is a classic song by Yuzu that layers the inner struggle of a broken spirit over the image of a bird that has forgotten how to fly.

The helpless feelings of stumbling once, losing confidence, and losing sight of the path forward resonate deeply with its wistful, mellow sound.

But this piece isn’t just a song of despair.

It portrays a story of recovery—setting out once more, guided by the gentle words received from someone important.

Released in October 2000, it colored the story as the theme song of the TV drama “Wipe Your Tears” and was also included on the acclaimed album “Tobira.” When you hit a major wall, it will give you the courage to take the next step.

Look Up at the Night Stars ~Our Song~yuzu19rank/position

Miagete Goran Yoru No Hoshi Wo Bokuranouta

Yuzu is well known as a Japanese folk duo with hit songs like “Natsuiro” and “Eikou no Kakehashi.” Their track “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo ~Bokura no Uta~,” released as a digital-only single, is a cover of a number from the musical “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo.” It’s also widely known that Kyu Sakamoto covered the song in 1963.

The lyrics, which encourage us to look up at the night stars and stop worrying about trivial things, are uplifting to listen to.

Incidentally, the CD audio of this song is only included on their best-of album and not on any of their original albums, making it a rare find.
