Pop Japan

Japanese pop-folk duo, Yuzu released their first single of the year, Uta Yell. The song is to cheer for the Japanese team in the 2018 Winter Paralympics, which will be held from March 9 to 18 in PyeongChang, South Korea.  Together with all the members of the group in 2018, Yuzu formed a new group for this music video. 

Yuzu has been a duo since 1997, which makes it almost 21 years old. Members Yugin Kitagawa and Koji Iwasawa have known each other since junior high school, with their first single, Summer Color, being released in 1998. Kitagawa was quoted saying “Keep close, but not too close” is the secret to their long-lasting relationship.
