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, the song “Sumire,” sung by real-life three brothers
Violetyuzu

Sumire by Yuzu, the folk duo that represents Japan.

The violet is a flower that blooms quietly and small, so much so that you might not even notice it blooming there.

It’s a strong flower that no one turns to look at, and even when it’s stepped on, it rises again.

In life, there are many sad and difficult things, but as long as you don’t let the roots of your heart wither, you can stand up again and again—just like a violet that has firmly taken root in the soil.

Now, when it comes to folk duos in the J-POP scene, the first act that likely comes to mind is Yuzu—and this is their 38th single.

Released as a limited-edition single through the end of December 2013, the song was originally written for all the staff who went on tour after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

With lyrics about friendship, it seems like a perfect fit for teenage girls who often go to karaoke with friends.

As a medium-tempo ballad, it’s easy to sing and a beautifully crafted number that effortlessly draws listeners in.
