Yuzu - Amusement Park

An early B-side track by Yuzu, one of Japan’s representative folk duos.

It portrays, in a true-to-life way, the feelings of a teenage boy in love with a girl he likes.

He runs into her near an amusement park in the rain… Even just a brief moment is enough—he just wants to be with her.

It’s a pure unrequited-love number that makes you want to say, “How cute,” just by listening.

Yuzu 'ALWAYS' Music Video

A track included on Yuzu’s 16th studio album, “PEOPLE,” released in March 2022.

It was made available for streaming ahead of the album’s release.

It’s a fine ballad where you can enjoy their signature, beautifully blended harmonies.

Just listening to it fills you with warmth.

What further elevates the song’s appeal is the duo’s vocals, rich in pleasant, high-order overtones.

The powerful high notes in the chorus, in particular, are outstanding.

It might not be an exaggeration to say that reproducing this song’s world in karaoke is a special privilege reserved for male singers with higher voices.

Be sure to sing with a clear contrast between the forcefully delivered chorus and the other sections.

Yuzu, strawberry

A light and poppy track by Yuzu.

It may sound like a love song about summer romance, but there’s actually a slightly risqué twist hidden beneath the surface.

Released in 2009 with the tagline “a shocking, sexy summer pop tune,” this piece sparked buzz for a music video so bold it required proof of being 18 or older.

While it captures the sweet flavor of young love, noticing the hidden meaning will make you chuckle.

It’s sure to hype up the room at karaoke, though once you grasp the true intent of the lyrics, you might need a bit of courage.

It could be fun to enjoy it on the sly at a get-together or party with friends.
