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.

Yuzu’s classic and popular songs (51–60)
boyyuzu
Yuzu’s second single, “Shonen,” released in 1998.
The song was used in a commercial for Acecook’s Super Cup 1.5 series and became Yuzu’s first entry on the Oricon charts.
It’s a track overflowing with fun and a perfect crowd-pleaser for karaoke! People around you can easily join in with call-and-response or percussion, too.
The chorus might feel a bit high in pitch, but that driving energy is part of the song’s charm—sing it through with momentum! It’s a lively, karaoke-friendly number, so be sure to add it to your setlist.
With you tomorrowyuzu
This song was produced as the theme for Season 2 of “Future Diary” by the folk duo Yuzu.
Unusually for Yuzu, the lyrics were written by an outside collaborator—novelist Natsu Miyashita.
The warm lyrics, which express feelings for a cherished person and hope for the future, leave a strong impression.
Throughout the song, the harmonies of the two voices form the core, conveying how they bring out the best in each other’s singing.
While the harmonies and call-and-response are simple, the piece creates a beautiful, warm atmosphere.

Yuzu’s “Tsukikage” is a song that gently conveys the warm charm of their folk duo.
It was included as the B-side to their 2002 single “Mata Aeru Hi Made.” Starting from street performances and continuing to capture the hearts of many fans, their music in this track layers softly over the quiet backdrop of night.
Although Yuzu had a major breakthrough in the late ’90s, “Tsukikage” reflects influences from a wide range of genres—folk, pop, and country—its moving melody and lyrics weaving an emotionally rich story that anyone might relate to.
It’s a song like walking under a moonlit sky, carrying a touch of loneliness while seeking a gentle light.
Sung by Yuzu, “Tsukikage” slowly seeps into the heart—one of those songs that lingers.
Monday weekendyuzu
This is one of Yuzu’s early songs.
Even so, it remains popular and seems to be performed often at their live shows.
In karaoke, Yuzu’s distinctive freshness and their playful yet philosophical lyrics tend to go over well.
Yuzu’s songs are a bit high in key, but that makes them bright, energy-boosting tunes for listeners, so I recommend them.
Yuzu’s famous and popular songs (61–70)
Shoyuzu
As the title “Sho” suggests, it seems to be a song themed around “taking flight.” It’s a song about people’s hardships and those who support them.
In the music video, the story depicts an elementary school–age boy and girl parting ways due to moving.

Yuzu’s songs are moving, and many of them are perfect for those moments at karaoke when you want people to really listen.
Their song “Niji” is well-known as a Nippon Life commercial tune, so many people have heard it, and it’s recognized across generations.
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.
The track is characterized by Iwasawa’s high harmonies; if two men who are good at singing high notes perform it together, it’s sure to draw attention.
Cherry Blossom Societyyuzu
It was released in 2010 as Yuzu’s 30th single.
The lyrics and music were written by Yujin Kitagawa, and it was titled “Sakurae” (Sakura-kai) from the idea of meeting under the cherry blossoms.
Matching the song’s borderless theme, it features ethnic instruments, and two years later, in 2012, it was selected as the CM song for JR West’s “Sanyo–Kyushu Shinkansen Through-Service 1st Anniversary Campaign.”
