Yuzu’s greatest and most popular songs

Yuzu’s greatest and most popular songs
Last updated:

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 iconic and popular songs (1–10)

Sakuragichōyuzu

Sakuragichōyuzu

A wholehearted love song by Yuzu, and a track that’s often sung at karaoke.

Even after a breakup, it makes you feel as if the wonder of love hasn’t changed—a heart-fluttering song that gives you that illusion.

From the intro arrangement to the call-and-response in the chorus, everything fits together seamlessly, making it a perfect piece.

Rain, then Sunshine Hallelujahyuzu

It brightened up living rooms across Japan in the morning as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series “Gochisousan.” Although its sales initially struggled, thanks to the show’s high ratings and its performance on the Kohaku Uta Gassen, it became a major commercial success.

This is a song created through a collaboration with violinist Taro Hakase.

Its literary lyrics, which could almost be read as poetry, are striking.

Also, the line about being able to pass by you while pretending it was a coincidence if we were to meet again feels very Yuzu-like and is a lovely expression.

Summer Colorsyuzu

As a debut single that represents Yuzu’s “summer,” this is a classic track that always brings the house down at their live shows.

It reminds you once again of the power that Yuzu possesses.

Many people have probably dreamed of racing down a hill on a bicycle.

The song released in February 1998 is included on the album Yuzuman.

With Yuzu’s characteristically gentle melody and lyrics, it conveys the loneliness of rainy days, the uncertainties of life, and the importance of human connection.

The chorus phrase “Why now?” voices a question everyone asks at least once, resonating with listeners.

This work is marked by Yuzu’s laid-back vibe and Atsuro Iwasawa’s heartrending vocals.

It’s a warm track that offers comfort to those who’ve been rejected in love or who long to feel connected to someone.

Let tomorrow be sunny.yuzu

It’s a nostalgic song with the feel of an old folk tune.

Listening to this kind of melody calms me—maybe it’s something etched into the genes of Japanese people.

It may be a small wish, but it puts me in the mood to hope for good weather tomorrow.

OLA!!yuzu

As the theme song for the film Crayon Shin-chan: My Moving Story! Cactus Large Attack!, it became a track that shines with a wordplay mixing Shin-chan’s first-person pronoun “Ora” and a Spanish greeting.

The tune also carries a hint of a Latin vibe.
