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.

Yuzu’s classic and popular songs (41–50)
Song of a Friendyuzu
Yuzu’s “Tomodachi no Uta” is a popular number known for its moving melody and relatable lyrics.
Since it doesn’t have any exceptionally high vocal parts, it’s easy to sing for men who struggle with high notes, making it a song anyone can try.
Another hallmark of this track is its lyrics about youth and friendship—feelings that never fade no matter how old you get.
Set to a simple melodic line, the song’s charm lies in how the now slightly tired, grown-up self looks back on the happy days spent with friends.
It also has the quality of a pep song, offering encouragement to yourself or to a friend who’s feeling down.

It’s also popular as a pep song that gives courage to listeners when sung at karaoke, making it perfect for scenes where you want to convey a positive message.

A refreshing, invigorating folk-rock sound—like the morning sky—resonates at heart on Yuzu’s acoustic palette.
Gently singing of hope and the importance of moving forward, this track is included on the single “Super Express/The Sun Will Rise Again,” released in November 2005, which reached No.
2 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.
It was used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Mezamashi Doyoubi, further enhancing the program’s morning news.
It’s also a recommended song to cheer you on when you’re taking a new step forward.

Released digitally in November 2024, it was also used as the theme song for the Nissan Sakura commercial.
The trio’s collaboration on Fuji TV’s 2024 FNS Music Festival drew significant attention as well.

Love burst forth.yuzu
Speaking of Yuzu, their trademark is the two of them playing guitar and singing, but in this song they also take on dancing.
Be sure to check out the dance they perform together during the chorus in the music video.
It feels like a perfect song for a refreshing morning.
strawberryyuzu
A bright pop number by a well-synced duo.
The lyrics are sprinkled with suggestive lines that make your heart skip a beat, drawing a lot of attention.
The jacket’s back-shot of the older-sister figure turning around was shocking.
It was a strictly limited edition release, including a colored case and a strawberry sticker, and Strawberry TV had an 18+ viewing restriction.
mixing public and private mattersyuzu
This was a digital-only single by Yuzu, released in August 2020.
Both members of Yuzu are singers whose appealing high-register voices really stand out.
In this song, too, you can enjoy their pleasant high tones riding over a brisk, lively groove right from the start.
Also, the vocal parts intentionally make active use of the pitch-correction effect—popularized by acts like Perfume—to create that so-called “Cher effect” style of sound, which might be another fun aspect of the track.
