Lyric

A Shortcut to Heaven

Yuu

朝焼けの道を

ゆっくり歩けば

昨日より少しだけ

風がやさしかった

誰にも気づかれない

小さな親切を

ひとつだけ鞄へ

しまって出かけよう

ありがとうを言うこと

ごめんねを伝えること

難しい日もあるけど

今日はちゃんと話そう

遠回りばかりでも

足跡は消えない

誰かの笑顔が

今日を照らしてる

天国への近道なんてない

今日をちゃんと歩くだけ

小さな優しさを

ひとつずつ重ねながら

転んでも

立ち止まっても

また笑って

歩き出せばいい

席を譲る帰り道

落とし物を届けたり

そんな小さな出来事が

誰かの今日になる

正しさより先に

思いやりを選べたら

少しだけ世界も

やわらかくなるかな

答えなんて

急がなくていい

今日という一日を

大切にできたなら

急がなくてもいい

競わなくてもいい

空はいつでも

同じ空だから

失くした日も

泣いた夜も

全部抱えて

ここまで来た

天国への近道なんてない

今日をちゃんと歩くだけ

誰かを許して

自分も許して

小さな優しさを

明日へ渡していこう

笑っても

泣いても

その全部が

道になっていく

夕焼けの空へ

ありがとうと

The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer.

Summer always seems to end before we even realize it.

The stone steps leading to a shrine, the lively morning glory market, the sound of wind chimes, a river glowing at sunset, lanterns at the summer festival, fireworks lighting up the night sky, and a single earbud left behind on the walk home.

These ten songs are a collection of small memories, carefully gathered from the quiet moments that make a summer unforgettable.

The joyful days, the bittersweet ones, the laughter we shared, and the feelings we never found the words to express-all of them continue to drift quietly through time. Yet somewhere deep inside us, the breeze, the scent, and the sounds of those days never truly disappear.

"The Thing I Left Behind Was Summer." is not an album about searching for something that was lost.

It is an album about remembering what we unknowingly left behind as we grew older.

May the sound of your own unforgettable summer continue to echo gently in your heart, long after the music has faded.

Artist Profile

  • Yuu

    Yuu is a singer songwriter who began her journey performing on the streets. With acoustic guitar at the core of her sound, she portrays everyday scenes and the quiet distance between herself and society through honest lyrics that never exaggerate emotion. Her music avoids loud statements and fixed conclusions, focusing instead on discomfort that belongs to no one in particular and on the act of continuing to think while living. Rather than expressing anger or presenting answers, Yuu writes songs about pausing, questioning, and choosing again. Keeping the intimacy of her street performances, her voice gently blends into the daily lives of listeners. For Yuu, music is not a tool to prove what is right, but a voice that allows her to live each day by her own will.
