Yui Sakurai made her major solo debut with Universal Music last September. Her first CD single since her major debut, "Natsuizon," is set for release on July 29!

Yui Sakurai is active as a member of the idol group FRUITS ZIPPER. She made her major solo debut with the song “Is It You? Or Is It Me Who Likes You? I Like You” via Universal Music in September 2025, and it has now been decided that she will release her first CD single since her major debut on July 29.
The title track, “Natsuizon,” is a fresh take on a summer song themed around “Reiwa-era summer romance.” It depicts the innocent feelings of spending one’s first summer with someone special—amidst thrilling anticipation, the song captures the joy of modern summer activities unique to the Reiwa era, such as indoor dates and evening strolls. It is a Reiwa-era summer love song characterized by lyrics that realistically convey the exhilaration of realizing you might be falling for someone, paired with a pop melody that brightens those feelings.
The second track, "Hikari," has been selected as the ending theme for the TV anime "You Who Run Through the Transparent Night, I Fell in Love with You," which premieres on July 6. It is a pure and straightforward love song about realizing the importance of connecting with others and the joy of having someone who responds to you, and wanting to return those feelings to the person who helped you realize them.
The third track is her memorable major-label solo debut song, "I Like the Me Who Likes You."It is a positive love song about how falling in love with someone, and having that person fall in love with you in return, allows you to love yourself as well.
This release will be available in three versions: a standard edition, as well as First Press Limited Edition A and First Press Limited Edition B.
Song details and jacket designs will be revealed at a later date. Please look forward to Yui Sakurai’s activities this summer, featuring songs that will brighten up the summer of the Reiwa era
