Carefully selected recommended Yorushika songs: popular tracks with touching lyrics and melodies that resonate with the heart

ShuraYorushika

Yorushika – Shura (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

This song was released as a digital single on August 8, 2025, and became the theme song for the drama “We Still Don’t Know the Rules of That Star.” It’s a song that validates the “vague uneasiness inside” and the “overwhelming feelings” many teen girls experience, making it a track that truly stays close to adolescent emotions.

Rather than aiming to “sing it perfectly,” it’ll feel refreshing if you sing it as a way to “let your feelings out.” The overall vocal range is A#3–D#5, with the high notes sung in falsetto.

The key point is switching between chest voice and falsetto.

Use a bit more breath to transition smoothly.

Breathe in slowly through your mouth, staying calm so it becomes diaphragmatic breathing.

If you tense up, it turns into chest breathing and you won’t inhale as much as you think, so be careful not to let your shoulders rise!

Yorushika – Moonlight Bath (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

As the clamor of summer recedes and quiet nights grow more comforting, there’s a dreamlike song by Yorushika I want you to hear.

Their music is known for its literary worldview, and this piece is a beautiful ballad through and through, layering the feeling of cherishing what matters as time slips by over scenes bathed in moonlight.

Suis’s clear yet powerful vocals deepen the bittersweet, grand atmosphere even further.

Released in October 2023, the song also served as the theme for the feature anime Kaina of the Great Snow Sea: Star Sage, so many listeners may have immersed themselves in that world as well.

When you’re reminiscing about a joyful summer and feeling a touch lonely, this song will surely stay gently by your side.

Yorushika – Martian (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yorushika’s “Kaseijin” (Martian), with its cute intro, was released on May 9, 2025, and was chosen as the opening theme for season 2 of the TV anime “The Deductive Reasoning for Small-Fry” (Shoshimin Series).

With a relaxed tempo of 100 BPM, it’s easy to learn and great for beginners! The song’s range is F3–A4, which sits in a comfortable key for many women, making it easy to sing naturally without strain—that’s a plus! It’s good to aim for smooth transitions between the sung lines and the more spoken-style phrases while keeping the rhythm.

Try to keep the placement of your voice consistent—focus around the space between your eyebrows—and aim for a light, polished “public-facing” tone, both when singing and speaking lightly.

The spot that resonates when you hum is the area between the eyebrows, so practice humming without tension first, then transition that into your singing voice.

EscapeYorushika

Escape

This song distills Yorushika’s world into a single track, where literary lyrics intertwine with vocalist suis’s clear, translucent voice.

Centered on the theme of “escape,” it portrays the inner conflicts buried deep in the heart and the earnest desire to break free from reality.

The driving, exhilarating sound evokes that restless urgency and faint glimmer of hope—like leaving the bustle of a summer festival behind and sprinting into the night, just the two of you.

Released in July 2020 on the album “Plagiarism,” it was also used in the promotional video for the manga “Call of the Night.” For those who want to flee from something yet still move forward, it may resonate with the complex feelings of a summer night.

Yorushika – Just Clear Skies for You (MUSIC VIDEO)

Wouldn’t they be the kind of artists who come to mind with the term “digital chart powerhouse” often seen in Korean music articles? In Japan, almost every song they release charts very high and stays on streaming platforms for a long time—Yorushika have delivered many hits since their major debut in 2019.

In Korea, one of their signature songs, “Just a Sunny Day for You,” has entered YouTube’s Daily MV Ranking.

In addition, “Haru,” used as the opening theme for the anime Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End, has appeared on Spotify’s Viral Chart, suggesting they enjoy strong, enduring support.

The delicate appeal woven by vocalist suis and composer n-buna—evoking Japan’s four seasons—may also be one reason for their popularity.

The Old Man and the SeaYorushika

The Old Man and the Sea

Beginning with gentle guitar strains, this song draws inspiration from Ernest Hemingway’s renowned novel and evokes a comforting feeling, as if you were on a quiet seaside.

Suis’s crystalline vocals seem to weave a story that transcends reality and journeys deep into the heart.

It may be centered on the inner strength of humans who refuse to lose hope even in the face of hardship.

Released in August 2021, the piece became widely known as the TV commercial song for Vanish Standard Inc.’s service “STAFF START.” It resonated with many, aligning with the commercial’s message, “A world where you don’t have to give up on what you love.” It’s perfect for moments when you want to spend time leisurely by the sea or quietly sink into contemplation—ideal listening when you’re in the mood to relax.

This is also a recommended track for those who enjoy music with literary depth.

The First NightYorushika

The First Night

A 2023 April single by Yorushika, a Japanese male–female rock duo consisting of composer n-buna and vocalist suis.

It’s a very bittersweet and beautiful ballad built around a piano-centric backing track.

Despite being an excellent piece, the vocal melody doesn’t span a particularly wide range, and the melody itself is relatively simple, making it one of the best choices when you want to aim for a high score in karaoke.

Since the song is sung gently overall, almost like a whisper, be careful not to let your own singing become rough—cherish each word of the lyrics and sing with care.
