Discography

Yuzu started out as street musicians. At first, their band name was “Lights”, but Kitagawa disliked it, so they changed the name to “Yuzu”. At that time, Kitagawa was eating a Yuzu sherbet, so he named the band after the fruit. (Incidentally, Iwasawa was eating vanilla ice cream. So the band name might have been Vanilla. Sometimes Iwasawa tells this story) The fans of Yuzu are called “Yuzukko”.
