So painful it makes me want to cryYuka
Yuka, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her original musicality that incorporates a wide range of genres such as alternative rock and R&B.
Recently she had been singing alternative rock with a somewhat loud sound, but this work, while retaining the feel of alternative rock, also has the catchy, singable quality of J-pop.
As Yuka is a female artist with a low voice, this is a song I especially recommend for teenage girls who struggle to hit high notes.
