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.

Tried dancing the Twin Dance to Yuzu’s “Love, It Popped!” with Shibuya Ward’s Cheer Ambassador Makubii-kun and Sae Morita

This is a song that captures the exhilaration of love with a bright, effervescent pop sound.

It tells the story of a protagonist stuck in a dull daily routine whose heart begins to race after meeting an irresistibly charming person beyond imagination.

Touching on modern social media culture, it’s a refreshing and catchy track that portrays the genuine thrill of romance.

Released in October 2017, the song was chosen as the theme for the film “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.” starring Kento Yamazaki.

The music video, which features collaborative footage with the movie and a lively ‘twin dance’ performed by the duo Yuzu, also generated buzz.

It’s well-suited for a bright, upbeat school sports-day dance program.

Even kindergarten-aged children can easily enjoy the choreography.

The costumes are easy to get creative with, and it seems like something the kids can help make and have fun with together.

Eikou no Kakehashi – Yuzu (Full)

This is the 21st single by the folk duo Yuzu, chosen in 2004 as the official theme song for NHK’s Athens Olympics coverage.

Its powerful lyrics, evoking athletes’ efforts and the path to glory, and its catchy, beautiful choral work make it a song that truly resonates.

When you’re striving for something, there are hurdles and painful, difficult times, but this track gives you a push, telling you that there is always light waiting at the end of the journey.

It’s a song I recommend listening to when you feel stressed or uncertain at work.

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.
