Songs with titles starting with 'Yu' (91–100)
finger hairChou Kyumei
ChoQMay is a band that’s gaining popularity for their addictive sound, driven by a distinctive high-toned voice.
While the band often features many high-register parts, their new song “Yubikami” leans into this even more, with repeated falsetto sections in the chorus that use a whispery tone.
Although the vocal lines aren’t particularly difficult in terms of phrasing, the wide range and the stamina required for the high parts make it quite challenging overall.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Sunset SongMasahiko Kondo
As a leading idol of the Showa era, Masahiko Kondo left behind many classic songs.
While many men have little interest in male idols, I imagine quite a few men in their late 50s made an exception for this song, “Yuuyake no Uta.” This work exudes a mature, understated cool, featuring a melody with a hint of enka.
The vocal range is fairly average, but because the vocal lines embody the familiar enka-like feel that Japanese listeners are accustomed to, it’s very easy to sing.

The album Tsuru no Uta 3, which includes this track and was released in May 2015, garnered major attention as Takeshi Tsuruno’s first cover album in about three years.
The tender vocals envelop the lyrics—depicting wintry scenes and the delicate emotions of lovers—in a moving rendition.
Without diminishing the beauty of the original, this is a superb cover that draws out new charms from a distinctly male perspective.

A captivating idol kayō rock-style track that sparkles with Tetsurō Oda’s youthful songwriting flair! Featured as the opening number on the November 1980 album “Sexy Night,” this song perfectly pairs its simple, catchy rock sound with Junko Mihara’s husky vocals.
Tomoko Aran’s down-to-earth lyrics and Daikoh Nagato’s polished arrangement also shine.
While rooted in idol pop, the song skillfully weaves in pop-rock elements for a refreshing sound that fully brings out Mihara’s presence and powerful charm of the time.
Balancing youthful freshness with a rock edge, it’s the perfect pick-me-up when you want to feel bright and positive!
