Choutokkyuu

Yuzu is a musical group that has become synonymous with folk duos in the J-POP scene.

Their 22nd single, “Chotokkyu,” released as a double A-side with “Hi wa Mata Noboru,” was chosen as the theme song for the reality dating show Ainori.

The lyrics depict changing environments within the passing everyday life, and those in their 30s—the generation that listened to it in their youth—may feel a different kind of realism now.

With Yuzu’s signature refreshing harmonies and ensemble, it’s a comfortable, karaoke-friendly pop tune that comes highly recommended.

Yuzu “Story” Music Video

I looked it up because I thought, “This sounds really familiar,” and it turned out to be the CM song for Toyota’s Ractis! It’s a single released in 2008.

Since it’s a Yuzu song, the range is higher than the average male vocal range, so if you’re good at high notes, it’s easy to sing and a good candidate to aim for a perfect 100.

The chorus has many sustained endings, so make sure to take a breath for each phrase and pay close attention to the pitch bar.

I always told a student who loved Yuzu and sang them all the time, “It’s high, so keep your facial muscles lifted so your pitch doesn’t drop!” It can be tough until you get used to it, but once your pitch dips even for a moment, it’s hard to correct.

Of course, it’s fine to switch to falsetto—just make sure you can place the pitch solidly around the brow area.

The most important factor in scoring is pitch, so focus on maintaining it!

Its expansive sound—layered voices, strings, and the resonance of piano—moves the heart.

This solemn ballad sound gently embraces emotions such as the pain of loss and the hope that looks toward the future.

When you want to quietly face memories of the past or think of someone dear to you, please give it a listen.

“Shin-on” (Heartbeat), which was released digitally in advance in February 2026, was created as the title track for their first career album composed entirely of new songs, also titled “Shin-on,” set for release in March of the same year.

Chosen as the song for a Nippon Life commercial, it adds color to visuals that connect society through sports.

Set to a band sound centered on acoustic guitars, the song conveys the importance of listening to the voice within oneself.

Written and composed by Yujin Kitagawa, its melody—imbued with the joy and resolve of making music—seems sure to stir listeners’ hearts.

It’s a powerful yet warm pop song that stands beside everyone striving to move forward, awakening a quiet fighting spirit.

Yuzu - Eikou no Kakihashi (Glory Bridge)

When it comes to Olympic songs, many people probably think of this one: “Eikou no Kakehashi” (Bridge of Glory) by the folk duo Yuzu, which was chosen as the official theme song for NHK’s Athens Olympics coverage.

It’s an eternal classic that gives courage not only to those facing hardships, but to everyone.

The powerful vocals give you a push forward, too.

Since it’s a song everyone knows, try picking it at karaoke—it’s satisfying to sing solo and a guaranteed crowd-pleaser with friends!
