Yuka is a singer-songwriter who studied piano and vocal music from a young age and continued pursuing music even after entering the workforce, ultimately making her major debut.

Her digital single “Darling Darling,” released on July 5, 2023, features a musical-style arrangement with a West Coast vibe that really sticks in your ears.

The lyrics, which portray the feelings of a woman who wants to be adorably coquettish but can’t quite pull it off, are likely to resonate with many people in relationships.
