Chiba Songs: A comprehensive introduction, from famous tunes filled with hometown love to local theme songs

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.

One of the projects on Takeshi’s TV show “Genius Takeshi’s Energetic TV!!” was a revitalization plan for a struggling shopping street, and the Urayasu Flower Street Shopping District was chosen as the stage.

At the time, it became a very lively shopping area, and this song became famous as its theme song.

It’s a very amusing and cheerful ondo (festival dance song).
