Let me introduce some songs by singer-songwriter Yu Takahashi.
When it comes to Yu Takahashi, his song “Fukuwarai,” known for its warm, heartfelt lyrics, is especially famous.
He has a wide range of tracks, from ballads to slightly uptempo numbers, so please give this playlist a listen.
It’s said that in 2011, Yu Takahashi did a street performance in New York, and at that time he placed an opinion advertisement in The New York Times.
