Yuzu “At That Time” Music Video

A digital-only single by Yuzu, released in May 2020.

There are many kinds of high-tone vocalists, but Iwasawa from Yuzu doesn’t use a piercing, metal-style high register; his hallmark is a voice that retains a gentle softness even at high pitches.

My impression is that he probably sings most of his range using mix voice.

The transitions between chest voice, mix, and falsetto are extremely smooth, making the shift points hard to detect—one of the secrets behind Iwasawa’s captivating singing.

This vocal style also fits perfectly with Yuzu’s folk-influenced sound.

He’s a vocalist male singers aiming to improve should definitely study.

Yuzu, strawberry

A light and poppy track by Yuzu.

It may sound like a love song about summer romance, but there’s actually a slightly risqué twist hidden beneath the surface.

Released in 2009 with the tagline “a shocking, sexy summer pop tune,” this piece sparked buzz for a music video so bold it required proof of being 18 or older.

While it captures the sweet flavor of young love, noticing the hidden meaning will make you chuckle.

It’s sure to hype up the room at karaoke, though once you grasp the true intent of the lyrics, you might need a bit of courage.

It could be fun to enjoy it on the sly at a get-together or party with friends.

Sentimental

Many of Yuzu’s songs evoke a fresh, summery vibe.

Released in 1999, the track “Sentimental” is also a great summer song to get the crowd going at karaoke.

While it paints scenes of midsummer in full swing, true to its title “Sentimental,” it also hints at emotional, nostalgic moments—reminiscent of an old romance, as if recalling some summer from the past.

With relatively few high notes, a simple melodic line, and a distinctive kayōkyoku-inspired feel, the chorus’s gradual build and the higher parts should be easy to hum along to.

Yuzu “Summer Gale (YZ ver.)” from LIVE FILMS ‘YUZUTOWN / ALWAYS YUZUTOWN’

Yuzu, the folk duo that made their major debut in 1998 with the mini-album “Yuzuman.” Their song “Natsuhayate” is a special track created in 2018 as the “ABC Summer High School Baseball Cheer Song” by Asahi Broadcasting to commemorate the 100th National High School Baseball Championship.

It’s a passionate song that evokes the image of a hot summer field, so wouldn’t it be perfect to sing at karaoke in July, right before Koshien, to get everyone pumped up?

Shounen

Yuzu’s second single, “Shonen,” released in 1998.

The song was used in a commercial for Acecook’s Super Cup 1.5 series and became Yuzu’s first entry on the Oricon charts.

It’s a track overflowing with fun and a perfect crowd-pleaser for karaoke! People around you can easily join in with call-and-response or percussion, too.

The chorus might feel a bit high in pitch, but that driving energy is part of the song’s charm—sing it through with momentum! It’s a lively, karaoke-friendly number, so be sure to add it to your setlist.
