Yuzu “Eikou no Kakehashi” Music Video

An enduring masterpiece by Yuzu, the folk duo that represents Japan.

It embraces all the pain and setbacks of the past, the days of effort piled up without running away, and makes you feel proud of who you are now.

That warm yet powerful message resonates deeply with anyone striving forward.

Released as a single in July 2004, it was used as the theme song for NHK’s broadcast of the Athens Olympics.

Many will remember it alongside the moving scene of the men’s gymnastics team winning gold for the first time in 28 years.

Give it a listen when your club activities aren’t yielding the results you want, or when exam pressure feels overwhelming.

You’ll find the courage to believe that none of your steps so far have been in vain—and to keep moving forward.

Natsuiro

Now widely regarded as the quintessential folk duo in the J-POP scene and beloved by listeners across generations, the music group Yuzu continues to captivate audiences.

Their first single, Natsuiro, was also their major-label debut, and it remains one of their signature songs to this day.

With lyrics that evoke youthful memories and a light, acoustic guitar-driven ensemble, it’s the perfect track to bring color to a major sporting event like a school sports day.

Its catchy melody makes you want to sing along, lifting your spirits with a refreshing pop tune.

Yuzu “Again 2” Music Video

It’s very Yuzu-like, with lyrics that gently give you a push and a song overflowing with freshness.

It lifts you up and wraps you in warmth when you’re feeling down or lonely in a new chapter of life.

The slightly faster tempo adds a sense of drive, making it a very easy song to listen to.

The Never-Ending Songyuzu5rank/position

Yuzu “Endless Song”

The song was released in 2015 and was selected as the theme song for Fuji TV’s news program “Mezamashi TV” that same year.

It’s a fairy-tale-like work with a grand scale.

The two voices of Yuzu have a refreshing quality that’s perfect for the morning.

Shoyuzu6rank/position

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.

Rain, then Sunshine Hallelujahyuzu7rank/position

Yuzu “Ame nochi Hareruya”

Yuzu’s songs are bright and uplifting, so they’re perfect for when you’re feeling down.

Among them, I especially recommend “Ame nochi Hallelujah.” Even if things don’t go as planned and you fail, it carries the message that the rain will always clear.

The energizing sound pairs with the positive lyrics, and just listening to it will really lift your spirits.
