Yuzu 'Sayonara Bus' PV

Sayonara Bus,” a breakup song that vividly captures a parting scene, is one of Yuzu’s signature early tracks.

Set to sprightly acoustic guitar and harmonica, it portrays the poignant moment when two people wait for a bus and say goodbye.

The delicate depiction of hearts drifting apart without ever quite opening up makes your chest tighten every time you listen.

Released as a single in March 1999, it was later included on the classic album “Yuzuen.” Without a major tie-in, the song spread on the strength of the music itself, touching many listeners’ hearts.

The sound, with Yohito Teraoka participating as producer, and the duo’s harmonies remain as fresh as ever.

Why not give it a listen when you want to look back on a faint, youthful love and gently sit with those slightly bittersweet memories?

Even though it’s a breakup song, listening to it feels like a refreshing breeze—such a track.

It might not be counted among their signature songs, but it’s a hidden gem packed with Yuzu’s sound.

Since the lyrics are based on Iwasawa’s real-life experience, there are surely people who have felt the same way.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to under a clear, sunny sky, shedding just a few tears.

Yuzu, the folk duo beloved for their distinctive harmonies and delicate acoustic sound.

Their 20th single, “Sakuragichō,” released as a triple A-side together with “Shumi no Haba” and “Yume no Chizu,” is striking for its brisk beat and nostalgic melody.

Furari

The folk duo Yuzu’s “Furari” is a masterpiece that delicately portrays a man’s unrequited love.

In the song, the woman he likes comes to him for advice about her romance with another man, and the depiction of his inner struggle over how to respond feels incredibly real.

Should he confess his feelings, or hold back and just listen as a friend? The lyrics beautifully capture that helpless, conflicted state of mind.

People often say women are more sensitive, but this song places the spotlight on a man’s sensitivity—lyrics of this kind are quite rare.

Why not take this opportunity to give it a listen?

Every time the spring breeze blows, past memories come rushing back…

Yuzu’s songs delicately portray such bittersweet emotions.

It begins with a scene of remembering a lover on a rainy day, then shifts to memories vividly revived by the spring breeze.

It’s more than a simple heartbreak song; it can be seen as a piece that symbolizes the journey of life.

Released in March 2007, this work gains an even grander and more moving atmosphere with Taro Hakase’s violin.

It’s a recommended track for those about to take a new step with the arrival of spring, or for anyone striving to walk forward while holding dear memories close to their heart.

I want to see you.yuzu6rank/position

Aitai

This is a song from Yuzu that was used as the theme for the NHK drama “Ghost Friends.” It’s a song about feelings for a deceased father, so it may be a bit different from a heartbreak song, but as a song about parting, you can feel the sadness and poignancy of never being able to meet again.

The vocals are, as expected, excellent too.
