Yu Takahashi - Jealousy (Theme song for the TBS drama “Midnight Diner: Season 3”)

As the title suggests, “Yakimochi” by Yu Takahashi captures the feeling of jealousy.

The song was the theme for the drama Midnight Diner 3, which is based on a manga and portrays the lives of people who gather at a late-night diner.

While Takahashi is known for powerful, heart-stirring message songs, the jealousy in this track also comes through painfully clearly.

Sung from a male perspective about feeling jealous of his girlfriend, it’s a love song in which, through jealousy, he seems to reaffirm his feelings for someone important to him.

Real-time singer-songwriterTakahashi Yuu

Yu Takahashi “Real-Time Singer-Songwriter” MV

Singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi, known for his catchy, emotionally impactful lyrics, has earned widespread popularity.

While his early work leaned toward orthodox rock, he’s recently been releasing many highly original tracks.

Among his catalog, Real-Time Singer-Songwriter is a standout recommendation.

Its vocal line is extremely catchy, and with a fair number of sustained notes, you can aim to rack up points with vibrato.

There’s a key change, so it has a bit of a quirk, but the vocal line itself is simple—definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Yu Takahashi - To a Friend

Takahashi Yu, known for his straightforward lyrics and worldview, has put his cheers into a song for all friends who are struggling right now.

It’s a track with a direct message that pierces the heart: no matter what wounds you carry from the past, you have to keep moving forward and live.

I especially want those who feel bound by their past to listen to it.

Naguko wa inega

Speaking of Akita, the artist that comes to mind is Yu Takahashi, and as the working title suggests—“Akita’s Song” or something along those lines—it’s a track packed with elements of Akita.

“Naku ko wa inega” is Akita dialect meaning “Are there any crying children?” and it’s a phrase used as a kind of chant by the Namahage.

Rainbow and AnniversaryTakahashi Yuu

Rainbow and Anniversary - Yu Takahashi - Solo acoustic (singer-songwriter style) performance

In the days I spend with someone special, there are sunny days and rainy ones.

Even so, if you’re by my side, any day—today included—becomes an anniversary.

This song expresses the desire to live through such days, one after another.

BE LIGHTTakahashi Yuu

BE RIGHT

Yu Takahashi, beloved for songs that speak for people’s hearts and give them courage, does it again with “BE RIGHT.” From the very first moment, this track hits you full throttle.

Rather than just giving you a gentle push forward, it feels like it digs into your subconscious and speaks to you head-on, leaving you with the sense of being firmly addressed.

It’s a powerful, dependable song that forcefully drives home the truths you kind of already know deep down, but needed to hear squarely and unmistakably.
