Yuri

Yuri is a subgenre of Japanese pop music that emerged in the 1970s. It is characterized by its focus on emotional ballads and romantic themes. The genre is named after its most famous exponent, singer and actress Nakamori Akina, who was known as the "Queen of Yuri." Yuri has since evolved to include a wider range of artists and styles, but its emphasis on sentimental lyrics and powerful vocals remains a defining feature.
