Yuzu 'Beautiful' Music Video

It’s an appealing number filled with hope, serving as a cheer song.

It sings of the courage to face hardship and the power of people supporting one another.

Released as a digital single in August 2023, it was also used as the theme song for Nippon Life’s commercial supporting the 2023 Basketball World Cup.

The lyrics, which evoke a radiant future, would also be a great match for weddings.

If you play it for the couple’s re-entrance after their outfit change, it can create a glamorous atmosphere that invites guests to imagine the wonderful future of the bride and groom.

[Daycare] Welcome Song for New Enrollees - Smile by Yuzu [Kindergarten]

We’d like to work on “Smile” as a musical gift from current students to the new entrants.

It’s a wonderful song that mirrors children encouraging one another.

In times of sadness or frustration, friends will help and support them.

The children in the kindergarten classes, who are already enrolled, surely understand how important friends are.

As seniors to the new students, this is a song through which they can share courage and energy.

Through this piece, the children may once again think about and feel new things.

Yuzu “Eikou no Kakehashi” Music Video

Among the standout masterpieces that define the Heisei era, this song carries a powerful message that resonates with many people.

Released in 2004, it was also used as the official theme song for NHK’s related programming during the Athens Olympics that year.

It features Yuzu’s characteristically warm vocals and a melody filled with hope.

The piece is said to have been created as a cheer for everyone who continues to pursue their dreams despite hardships, and it seems to reflect Yuzu’s own experiences in their musical career.

Using it in an Instagram Reel would add a moving, emotional touch to your post.

It’s a highly recommended track for moments when you’re facing new challenges or want to encourage someone who’s giving their all.

Yuzu “Two Sides of the Same Coin”

Interweaving contrasting concepts such as light and darkness, front and back, it expresses the human inner world and its conflicts.

Released in December 2013 as the 40th single, it was used as the theme song for the film Hunter × Hunter: The LAST MISSION and as the ending theme for the TV anime.

Following songs like “REASON,” this track was created through a collaboration between Yuzu and music creator Kenichi Maeyamada.

It achieves a fresh sonic image that fuses digital sounds with acoustic elements.

When you find yourself at a crossroads in life, this song may give you strength.

Karappo

Yuzu’s music is known for its delicate, soul-stirring lyrics and beautiful harmonies.

Their third single, “Karappo,” released in November 1998, is notable for its lyrics that depict heartbreak and a sense of emptiness.

Written and composed by Koji Iwasawa, the song was also used as the ending theme for NHK-FM’s “Music Square.” The lyrics, which portray small moments of everyday life and shifting emotions, convey the fragility of human relationships and profound emotional changes.

It’s a sentimental number that resonates with those who have felt the pain of heartbreak or experienced parting from someone dear.

Niji

A song that played as the commercial theme for Nippon Life Insurance and sparked hope in many hearts.

Released by Yuzu in September 2009, this work is notable for its dramatic sound woven by rich strings.

The lyrics, which carry a strong will to move toward the light despite tears, pain, and hesitation, offer courage in the face of hardship.

Production took more than half a year from January 2009, making it one of the most meticulously crafted songs in Yuzu’s catalog.

Itsuka

For those born in the Heisei era, many probably think of Yuzu when it comes to songs with harmonies.

Yuzu has released many harmony-heavy tracks, but the one I especially recommend for its clarity and beauty is Itsuka.

It features a pale, wintry dusk-like melody, and the chorus is characterized by falsetto harmonies.

While the pitch is on the higher side, the tempo is slow, making it a good choice even for those not yet used to singing harmonies.
