Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

The songs of BOØWY, the legendary band that blazed across Japan’s 80s rock scene, still carry an undying sense of innovation and beauty.

Many of you may find your hearts seized by Kyosuke Himuro’s sensuous vocals and Tomoyasu Hotei’s inventive guitar sound—hearing them even now can send a thrill through you.

In this article, we introduce the gems they left behind, along with the stories behind them.

Longtime fans can relive the excitement of their first listen, while those new to BOØWY can immerse themselves in the band’s richly layered world and enjoy the journey.
