DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.
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 galaxy within meChiba Kazuomi (Kaientai)

[Takeda Tetsuya, not Kaientai] The Galaxy Within Me

The galaxy within meChiba Kazuomi (Kaientai)

This song, created by Kazuomi Chiba of Kaientai, was used as the ending theme for the Doraemon movie “Nobita and the Galaxy Express.” A bittersweet heartbreak song, it weaves imagery from familiar natural phenomena—like the spiral of a seashell and the galaxy in the night sky—into its lyrics, stretching from the everyday to the cosmos.

Released in March 1996, it resonated with many listeners, aided by its tie-in with the film.

It’s a recommended track for those carrying the pain of unrequited love or anyone who wants to dwell on feelings for someone dear.
