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?

Yuzu’s classic and popular songs (91–100)

Song cheeryuzu

Set to a fanfare, Yuzu’s cheer song features that unmistakable voice everyone’s heard at least once—a voice that instantly lifts your spirits.

Since it was used in a commercial, I think many people will recognize the chorus.

With its clapping sections and big sing-along chorus, it’s a song you’ll definitely want to belt out at a live show.

And as expected, Yuzu’s encouragement hits especially hard when you’re struggling or feeling troubled.

Platform 3yuzu

Yuzu’s 17th single, “Track 3,” released in 2003.

The melody line is very simple, it can be sung in a steady, understated way, and the pitch is on the lower side, making it an easy song to try even for those who find Yuzu’s songs difficult to sing.

It may be less well-known than some of their other tracks, but this song has other recommended points: there’s handclapping in the backing, so it’s easy for everyone to clap along and get excited at karaoke, and the song is under two minutes long—nice and short.

The lyrics, which many people working hard every day can relate to, are also appealing.

This is a track by the Japanese folk duo Yuzu from their 16th studio album, PEOPLE, released on March 23, 2022, which was made available digitally a week earlier on March 16.

It’s a song that showcases their signature acoustic sound and harmonies, offering a very pleasant, comforting listening experience—a true ballad.

The vocal melody itself and the way the lyrics sit on the melody don’t rely on any gimmicks; the song is built on a very beautiful melody and flow, making it easy to sing along to casually.

Straightforward songs like this often make great choices when you want to aim for a high score at karaoke, so definitely give it a try.

Just be careful not to rush the vocals against the song’s rhythm, as that can ruin everything.

A poignant autumn song where transience and hope intertwine.

It’s a track included on the single Yuzu released in November 1999 and also served as the image song for Fuji TV’s “Ainori,” a romantic reality show.

The gentle melody overlaps with the feeling of trying to look forward despite one’s vulnerabilities.

It’s a song that stays close to those who can’t find their own worth or who are seeking connection with others.

Please give it a listen.

An early Yuzu song, before Natsuiro.

Included on the mini-album Yuzuman.

Lately I haven’t been sleeping well because there’s someone I’m interested in.

If you feel like you’ve lost the meaning of life, it might be because you’re shutting yourself inside your own shell.

Look around you.

There are many people reaching out a hand.

A B-side track from the 2002 single “Again 2.” A folk duo from Kanagawa Prefecture formed in 1996.

Set to a sound woven from light, buoyant rhythms and a refreshingly poppy melody line, the duo’s choral ensemble is beautiful, making it a number whose sound lingers deep in your ears for a long time.

When it comes to acoustic units known for their high-tone vocals, isn’t Yuzu the first that comes to mind? The folk duo of Yujin Kitagawa and Koji Iwasawa is popular across a wide range of generations, regardless of age or gender.

Their soaring high notes are captivating, and their beautiful high-tone harmonies are powerful as well.

“Imasara” is a song with a slightly different flavor from Yuzu’s usual style.

With an ethnic mood that hints at the influence of Indian music, it’s perfect for changing up the stale atmosphere of a karaoke session!
