Aitai

[Machine Translation] Yuzu's first single this year is the theme song for NHK Drama 8 "Ghost Friends" starring Saki Fukuda. Lovers who have broken up, friends who have separated without being able to reconcile, that person who is no longer in the world... I want to see the person I can never see again, just one more time. The melody is based on the uncontrollable feelings of wanting to see the person you can never see again... This song is Yuzu's newest and most powerful work. The song is full of sadness, and each word of the lyrics will make your heart clench in your chest. Continuing from the previous album, the producer is the up-and-coming producer Yoshinori Tsutaya, who is currently attracting the most attention in the Japanese music scene. The beautiful piano and string melody in the vivid scene further accentuates the world of the sad song. The coupling song is the theme song for "Y150," a large-scale themed event to be held in Yokohama this year to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the opening of the port of Yokohama. This project was made possible by an enthusiastic call from the City of Yokohama. Yuzu, who was born and raised in Yokohama, wrote this medium ballad song to express their feelings for "Yokohama," the city that has always accepted them without change, and the important things that have been connected with them over time. This is the first recording work with Satoshi Takebe, a leading producer. The song was recorded for the first time with Satoshi Takebe, a leading producer, and Yokohama residents also participated in the recording by singing on the chorus.
