Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Fujifabric - 'Akaki iro no Kinmokusei' (Red, Yellow Osmanthus)

red-yellow fragrant olive (Osmanthus fragrans)Fujifaburikku

A song by the Japanese rock band Fujifabric that makes you yearn for the arrival of autumn and feel the melancholy of summer’s end.

Its beautifully written, literary and lyrical Japanese lyrics depict autumnal scenes, and the band arrangement deepens that atmosphere, moving listeners to tears.

Even after the vocalist Masahiko Shimura passed away in 2009, it remains a beloved autumn classic in the rock genre.

This song is a single he released as a solo artist in 1994.

It also became his first solo work to be used as the theme song for a TV drama.

The presence of words in the lyrics that evoke autumn indicates that the setting is after the summer—after the festivals have ended.
