Editor's note

Yuzu's acoustic friendship songs from Yokohama

The Japanese duo formed in high school and built a catalog of melodic, acoustic-driven songs about everyday life.

For their sound, try "Ao" or "Sakuragichou." For their story, "Hyori Ittai" still feels like the one that explains them.

Their 2001 single "Hyori Ittai" became a breakthrough hit with its straightforward lyrics about friendship, and they've maintained that acoustic-driven sound through songs like "Ao" and "Sakuragichou." Their music has appeared in Japanese dramas and films, connecting with listeners through simple, melodic storytelling.

Yuzu formed in 1997 when Yujin Kitagawa and Koji Iwasawa met at Yokohama's Eiko Gakuen High School. In 2005, Iwasawa was diagnosed with Meniere's disease, which affected his balance and hearing, but they continued recording and performing with Kitagawa covering guitar parts during live shows.
