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.

Chikagai

It’s a song that could be called the origin of Yuzu, the folk duo that took off from the streets.

The opening line, “A sunny afternoon in October,” perfectly evokes the crisp air of autumn.

Carried by the simple timbre of an acoustic guitar, it portrays the bittersweet feeling of wanting to see someone you love but being unable to.

Yet it doesn’t just dwell in hesitation—you can also feel a forward-looking strength, a resolve to be honest about one’s feelings.

The track was included on their indie mini-album Yuzu no Moto, released in October 1997, and later featured on the best-of compilation Home [1997–2000].

It has a warmth that gently nudges you when you’re feeling uncertain.

It’s also perfect as a companion for an autumn stroll.

Miagete Goran Yoru No Hoshi Wo Bokuranouta

Yuzu is well known as a Japanese folk duo with hit songs like “Natsuiro” and “Eikou no Kakehashi.” Their track “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo ~Bokura no Uta~,” released as a digital-only single, is a cover of a number from the musical “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo.” It’s also widely known that Kyu Sakamoto covered the song in 1963.

The lyrics, which encourage us to look up at the night stars and stop worrying about trivial things, are uplifting to listen to.

Incidentally, the CD audio of this song is only included on their best-of album and not on any of their original albums, making it a rare find.

Furari

The folk duo Yuzu’s “Furari” is a masterpiece that delicately portrays a man’s unrequited love.

In the song, the woman he likes comes to him for advice about her romance with another man, and the depiction of his inner struggle over how to respond feels incredibly real.

Should he confess his feelings, or hold back and just listen as a friend? The lyrics beautifully capture that helpless, conflicted state of mind.

People often say women are more sensitive, but this song places the spotlight on a man’s sensitivity—lyrics of this kind are quite rare.

Why not take this opportunity to give it a listen?

It was selected as the theme song for the film “Talk, Talk, Talk,” in which Taichi Kokubun of TOKIO plays a rakugo performer.

This single is a bit unusual in that it was released not only as a Yuzu single, but also as a single from the film’s soundtrack, which includes the movie’s score and rakugo.

Yuzu “GET BACK” Music Video

This song was chosen as the opening theme for the Pokémon TV anime.

It’s an anime song by the folk duo Yuzu—their first in about seven years—and it was released in May 2025.

With lyrics centered on the theme of “reclaiming a lost future,” it mirrors the protagonists’ adventures and growth.

Its modern sound unfolds dramatically, captivating listeners from the start.

It’s a powerful anthem of encouragement that gives you a push when you hit a wall.
