Songs with titles starting with 'Yu' (11–20)
the world of dreamsNEW!Lyrics by Akiko Furon / Music by Yoshimichi Hashimoto
Memories of treading on fallen leaves, an avenue bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the chirping of small birds, and the clear scene of a babbling brook.
Interweaving these tangible touches of nature, this song calls on friends to share their dreams together.
Born from an NHK music program in the 1970s and later arranged as a choral piece, it was composed by Yoshimichi Hashimoto, who, while deeply involved in creating educational materials at Kyoiku Geijutsu Sha, left behind many works that balance singability with evocative imagery.
Its gentle, swaying 6/8 rhythm naturally supports a sense of walking and the flow of scenery, and the structure—expanding from unison in the first half to full chorus in the latter—is a highlight.
It is a song that quietly encourages children to take a new step on the special day of graduation, as they look back on memories with their friends.
Yuki-kun, you know...Naru Miya
This unsettling yet heartrending song portrays a girl who can’t quite fit into everyday life, speaking one-sidedly to her imaginary friend.
The vocalist is Narumiya, a rising creator who handles everything from lyrics and composition to mixing.
Released on November 21, 2025, the track delves deeply into themes of dependency and inner darkness—so much so that the artist calls it “the most problematic work I’ve ever made.” It’s an addictive number that pierces the heart of anyone who’s ever wished, on a lonely night, for someone to listen.
U.S.A.DA PUMP
A comeback hit by DA PUMP that popularized the term “so uncool it’s cool.” It’s easy for anyone to get into, and the choreography isn’t difficult, so it’s easy to copy! That said, since vocalist ISSA has a relatively high range, the song’s overall range is narrow at B3–B4, but the chorus stays high.
If you’re good at sustained high notes in chest voice, you’ll be able to sing the whole thing comfortably.
If high notes are tough for you, try moving your body while you sing—matching your movement to your timing should help you lock in those high notes more and more.
pinky promiseLyrics by Toshihiko Shinzawa / Music by Hirotaka Nakagawa
The song “Yubikiri” makes you want to promise, “We’ll be friends forever,” as you remember days spent with friends.
The lyrics are by Toshihiko Shinzawa and the music is by Hirotaka Nakagawa.
Set against everyday, simple scenes, the song warmly and movingly portrays children’s shifting emotions and unchanging friendship.
Although it was originally released around 2007, it was included in the best-of album “Toshihiko Shinzawa & Hirotaka Nakagawa: Full of Songs,” released in July 2017, and has since become beloved at many preschools and kindergartens.
It’s also lovely to sing while making the pinky-swear gesture and looking at each other’s faces.
Please consider choosing this piece for important occasions like graduation or farewell ceremonies to deepen the bonds between friends.
You Go Your WayCHEMISTRY
A ballad that can be considered the concluding chapter of the early trilogy by CHEMISTRY, the male duo who burst onto the scene from the audition program ASAYAN and quickly rose to stardom.
Released as a single in October 2001, it was used in a commercial for Suntory’s canned coffee BOSS.
In their debut year, it became known as the work that proved their talent to the world by achieving an unprecedented record: three consecutive Oricon number-one singles.
The lyrics—about the resolve to deliberately take separate paths out of respect for each other’s future, and the indelible memories that intersect—carry a heartrending poignancy that tightens the listener’s chest.
U MINEINI
Included on the single “THE WINTER MAGIC,” released in November 2025, this track also drew attention for featuring member Fengfan Xu’s participation in the lyrics.
Its lyrics interweave the crisp, transparent feeling of winter with devoted love, reminding you of the warm emotions you hold for someone special.
With high tones and an exhilarating sound that resonate in your ears and your heart, it’s a pop tune perfect for winter listening.

youthful daysMr.Children
It’s a track driven by a exhilarating, fast-paced band sound, with lyrics that vividly capture everyday moments and strike right at the heart.
Released as a Mr.Children single in November 2001, many may remember it as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Antique: Western Confectionery.” Its worldview—depicting the conflicts of youth and the fleeting nature of time that vanishes in an instant—shines with Kazutoshi Sakurai’s uniquely sharp sensibility.
The melody, like water soaking into a parched heart, is perfect for a sunny-day drive or those moments when you feel like looking back on the past.
