'''East End X Yuri''' was a short collaboration between the [[Japanese]] hip hop group [[East End]] and the singer [[Yuri]].

[[Gaku]] and [[Yoggy]] had been friends since school where they used to enter rap contests and both knew [[ROCK-Tee]]. East End's first live performance was in [[1990]] at an event called [[Peace Ball]]. Although they continued to do well, East End gained little mainstream attention. In 1994, the groups had a break with their pop-rap single [[da.yo.ne]]. with guest artist YURI. Although sales were initially slow, in early [[1995]], the single became the first million selling hip hop single in [[Japan]].

Several versions of this song were recorded as [[West End X Yuki]], [[North End X Mai]] and so on, which included local versions of the phrase turned into [[so.ya.na]] and [[da.cha.ne]] respectively. The song contains a sample of [[Turn Your Love Around]] by [[George Benson]].

Although they continue to release singles, they have failed to recreate their earlier success and are now viewed as a one hit wonder.
