YUKI “Play Ball”

To mark the milestone of her 10th anniversary as a solo artist, YUKI delivered a song that evokes the beginning of a forbidden love.

Contrary to its bright, cheerleader-like sound, the worldview seems to portray a woman’s strong will as she plunges into the game of love without thinking of the consequences—“even if it’s a strikeout.” Her desperate plea for divine help conveys the pain of being unable to stop her feelings, even while knowing the relationship is forbidden.

This monumental single was released in May 2012.

Even though you know it’s wrong, this is a song that confronts your heart with a certain resolve to stake everything on this love.

Stardust Sunset

This is a gem-like ballad by YUKI that overlays the sparkle of stars scattered across the twilight sky with the dazzling moments of youth.

Released to the world in August 2007 as the theme song for TBS’s Sunday drama “Papa to Musume no Nanokakan” (Seven Days of a Daddy and His Daughter), it marked YUKI’s first tie-in with a TV drama.

The lyrics, sung over a gentle and heartwarming melody, are sure to resonate with anyone who keeps feelings for someone dear tucked away in their heart.

Listen to it while gazing up at the Tanabata night sky, and you’ll find yourself wanting to make a wish upon the stars.

YUKI 『JOY』

From the lyrics and melody to the promotional video, “JOY” is YUKI’s world in full bloom! What exactly is this worldview that irresistibly captivates listeners and viewers alike? “JOY” means “delight” or “joy” in Japanese.

Keep that in mind as you listen while reading the lyrics! The worldview is unique, but I find the romantic lyrics truly lovely.

We'll hug each other out of joy.YU-KI11rank/position

YUKI "I'll Hug You with Joy"

A love song with a relaxed tempo and gently playful, wordplay-like lyrics.

It’s a refreshing track, yet it carries a hint of sensuality.

The key change in the chorus really hits home.

The words compare the two to Romeo and Juliet, making it very romantic.

The melody itself is bright.

It’s a perfect song to sing cheerfully at karaoke.
