It’s a love song by Yuzu, who, despite often featuring a simple vocal style over acoustic sound, have secured a solid position and become well-known.

The song has a world that’s easy for teenage boys to relate to and is fun enough to make you want to sing it at karaoke.

Koi no Kayoubi is Yuzu’s 13th single, released in 2002.

Yujin Kitagawa performs it dressed as a woman under the name “Junko Kitamikawa,” which made the CD jacket and music video a hot topic.

Incidentally, Koji Iwasawa appears as “Mucho Koiwasawa,” set as Junko Kitamikawa’s boyfriend.

As the title suggests, the song is crafted with classic kayōkyoku—Showa-era pop—in mind, and it seems like it would really get the crowd going when you go to karaoke with older folks.

Although it conveys a woman’s feelings and is sung in a female persona, the overall vocal range is narrow, making it easy to sing even for women who aren’t comfortable with high notes.

This song was produced as the theme for Season 2 of “Future Diary” by the folk duo Yuzu.

Unusually for Yuzu, the lyrics were written by an outside collaborator—novelist Natsu Miyashita.

The warm lyrics, which express feelings for a cherished person and hope for the future, leave a strong impression.

Throughout the song, the harmonies of the two voices form the core, conveying how they bring out the best in each other’s singing.

While the harmonies and call-and-response are simple, the piece creates a beautiful, warm atmosphere.

Yuzu’s songs are moving, and many of them are perfect for those moments at karaoke when you want people to really listen.

Their song “Niji” is well-known as a Nippon Life commercial tune, so many people have heard it, and it’s recognized across generations.

It’s also popular as a pep song that gives courage to listeners when sung at karaoke, making it perfect for scenes where you want to convey a positive message.

The track is characterized by Iwasawa’s high harmonies; if two men who are good at singing high notes perform it together, it’s sure to draw attention.

Yuzu is often associated with a bright and refreshing image, but this song carries a certain wistfulness that suits the autumn air.

With its acoustic tones that resonate deeply, it’s a warm work characteristic of a folk duo.

Released in October 2000, it colored the story as the theme song for the drama “Wipe Your Tears.” The lyrics depict a protagonist who had once forgotten how to fly, setting off again with the support of words received from someone dear.

This uplifting message, paired with a soaring chorus melody, brings a sense of exhilaration that can clear away a heavy heart.

While it’s challenging to replicate Atsuro Iwasawa’s clear, expansive high-tone vocals, those confident in their upper range should definitely give it a try.
