18 Yuzu Itsuka

It’s a song where a man protects a woman with a sense of being a big, encompassing presence.

Yuzu usually has a androgynous image, but the lyrics of this song feel quite masculine, don’t they? The two members of Yuzu singing in the snow are also striking.

As a woman, it’s something to admire—having a man who feels this way about you.

An unspoken ‘I like you’yuzu4rank/position

Unable to say it—'I like you.'

The way she spins her wheels in front of the person she likes, emotions whipping her around as if this isn’t how it was supposed to go, feels so real.

I do think there are loves in this world that won’t come true, but I can feel the strength of the desire to convey those feelings no matter what.

It’s a song that cheers you on, saying it’s okay even if you crash and burn.

Aitai

In April 2009, Yuzu released a gem of a ballad imbued with a stirring melody and deep feelings for a loved one.

Created by Kitagawa as an expression of gratitude and love for his late father, the song touched many hearts as the theme for the NHK drama “Ghost Friends.” Carried by a warm piano tone and a beautiful string arrangement, it gives voice to a heartfelt wish for a beloved person who has been lost.

Their moving performance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen remains fresh in memory, and the song was also included on the album “Yuzu Iroha 1997–2017,” where it continues to be cherished.

It is a piece that gently stays close to the hearts of those who have experienced the parting of a dear one or who carry feelings they cannot fully express.

Goodbye Busyuzu7rank/position

Yuzu 'Sayonara Bus' PV

A song by Yuzu that poignantly depicts two people at a bus stop, with departure time approaching, heading down separate paths.

Released as a single in March 1999 and included on the album “Yuzuen,” it’s one of their signature early tracks.

Written and composed by Yujin Kitagawa, the simple tones of acoustic guitar and harmonica resonate deeply.

Though it wasn’t backed by a major tie-in, its relatable lyrics earned strong support, and it has long been a live staple.

The sparing words, the time slipping by, and the scene of seeing someone off while holding unspoken feelings are sure to resonate with those parting ways at graduation.

If you’re facing a farewell with someone important, listen to this song and take a moment to face your true feelings.
