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 (101–110)

Departure Numberyuzu

A track from Yuzu’s fifth album, Sumire.

It was featured in commercials for Kateikyōshi no Try (Try Group tutoring).

The song is about facing forward without yielding to doubt or giving up, gaining various things along the way, and aiming even higher.

Since it was written and composed by Iwasawa, it is one of the most difficult songs to sing.

Recommended for those who want to overcome challenges and further grow themselves.

Song of lingering attachmentyuzu

It’s the coupling track released with “Tomodachi no Uta” in 1999.

Written and composed by Yujin Kitagawa, it falls into the “dark/obsessive love” category among his love songs.

Although Kitagawa now has a wholesome image, back when he was younger—likely having experienced many romances—he wrote songs like this too.

It really captures the lingering feelings of a man who can’t let go.

Look Up at the Night Stars ~Our Song~yuzu

Yuzu is well known as a Japanese folk duo with hit songs like “Natsuiro” and “Eikou no Kakehashi.” Their track “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo ~Bokura no Uta~,” released as a digital-only single, is a cover of a number from the musical “Miagete Goran Yoru no Hoshi wo.” It’s also widely known that Kyu Sakamoto covered the song in 1963.

The lyrics, which encourage us to look up at the night stars and stop worrying about trivial things, are uplifting to listen to.

Incidentally, the CD audio of this song is only included on their best-of album and not on any of their original albums, making it a rare find.

Now? (It’s a colloquial expression implying it’s too late or asking ‘at this point?’)yuzu

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!
