Japanese Rock 3 - Yuzu

Time for another entry in the "Japanese Rock" series,  although today's band are more Simon & Garfunkel than Maiden or AC/DC. 

Today I want to recommend Yuzu (ゆず) a Japanese folk/pop duo. Their catchy songs are great to listen to (and great to sing to when practicing your Japanese... ).

My favourite album is Yuzuen (ゆずえん) and my favourite song is Sayonara Bus (さよならバス) .



Yuzu, by the way,  is a small sour citrus fruit, and was chosen by the band because when they were deciding on a name one of the members was eating a yuzu flavored ice-cream.

Anyway, while you give them a listen,  I'm off to band practice with my band Häagen-Dazs - Cookies and Cream.
