Itsuka

When the weather turns chilly, there’s a heartwarming winter ballad I can’t help but crave.

The sound of the acoustic guitar intertwines with beautiful strings, evoking a quiet warmth like gently falling snow.

The lyrics, which honor the preciousness of simply having someone you love by your side and convey a strong resolve to protect them no matter what, resonate deeply with listeners.

Released as a single in January 1999 and also included on the classic album YUZIEN, this piece was lovingly nurtured since their street-performing days and was also Yuzu’s first release in the maxi-single format.

It’s perfect for quietly immersing yourself on a long winter’s night, or for pouring your heart into it at karaoke!
