Yuzu’s greatest and most popular songs

We’d like to introduce songs by Yuzu, a classic J-pop artist.

Their music is now heard in a variety of settings, and they’re a very popular act.

As a folk duo that performs with just instruments like acoustic guitar and tambourine plus vocals, many people likely practiced their songs when they first started doing acoustic covers.

It’s said that their unit name, Yuzu, comes from the yuzu sherbet they ate at a staff meal for a part-time job they worked at together.

They have many bright, catchy tunes, and plenty you’ll recognize, making them perfect for karaoke.

Why not try practicing with this playlist?

Speaking of Yuzu, it’s all about Iwasawa’s beautiful high harmonies on top and Kitagawa’s steady lower harmonies, right? Everyone’s probably thought at least once, “I want to try harmonizing to a Yuzu song!” Yuzu’s harmonies are relatively easy to pick out, so they’re satisfying to listen to and make a great entry point to try.

In GET BACK, Kitagawa comes in with the lower part right from the start—it sounds so cool! There are also call-and-response sections unique to the duo, and in the chorus they switch between unison and harmony, making it a really fun song to sing as a pair! Lower harmonies can be hard to hear and tricky at first, but try practicing with resources like YouTube.

Chekhov’s gun payoffyuzu

Yuzu, who began as a folk duo performing on the streets and have since become one of Japan’s leading artists.

This song is included on their album Zukan, released to commemorate their 25th anniversary.

It became available for streaming in July 2024 and was also chosen as the theme song for the drama “Minami-kun ga Koibito!?” Its approachable sound—true to Yuzu’s acoustic roots while adding pop elements—is a major draw, and of course their beautiful harmonies are as strong as ever.

The lyrics, which reflect on one’s past while expressing contentment with the present life, leave a lasting impression.

It’s a song that’s sure to lift your spirits when you’re worn out by daily life.

I want to see you.yuzu

In April 2009, Yuzu released a gem of a ballad imbued with a stirring melody and deep feelings for a loved one.

Created by Kitagawa as an expression of gratitude and love for his late father, the song touched many hearts as the theme for the NHK drama “Ghost Friends.” Carried by a warm piano tone and a beautiful string arrangement, it gives voice to a heartfelt wish for a beloved person who has been lost.

Their moving performance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen remains fresh in memory, and the song was also included on the album “Yuzu Iroha 1997–2017,” where it continues to be cherished.

It is a piece that gently stays close to the hearts of those who have experienced the parting of a dear one or who carry feelings they cannot fully express.

It’s a song that perfectly fits an energetic dance, making you feel like you can play along with joy! Created by the folk duo Yuzu as the theme song for the October 2017 film “The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.,” it expresses overflowing emotions and a racing heartbeat with a fresh, pop sound.

Digital elements blend beautifully with Yuzu’s signature harmonies, and the “Twin Dance,” performed together with the film’s cast, also became a hot topic.

Try moving your body to the rhythm with the kids and enjoy dancing together.

Its bright, positive melody and lively lyrics are sure to bring out smiles from the children.

Yuzu “Sunday Afternoon (Full)”

He was dating, but he got his heart broken because he was too hung up on appearances.

If you really want to spend more time together on a date, you shouldn’t be checking the time! You can only be yourself, so it would’ve been better to just express your feelings naturally and honestly! It’s a love-support song, really.
