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.

GReeeeN – Love Song

Love SongGReeeeN

Ai Uta, the third single by GReeeeN released in 2007.

It’s a song many of us have likely heard as a theme song for various tie-ins and in commercials.

It begins like a letter—a love letter—to someone dear, and its lyrics resonate deeply as a love song.

If you’re in love, you probably wish to feel this way, and to be felt about this way.

It’s no wonder so many artists have covered it; it’s a love song that perfectly fits the word “pure love.”

I want to make you say you love me.IZ*ONE

IZ*ONE (IZ*ONE) – 'I Want to Make You Say You Like Me' MV

I want to make you say you love me.IZ*ONE

This is IZ*ONE’s Japanese debut single, delicately portraying the complex emotions of a woman in love.

It expresses the anxiety of feeling someone’s heart drift away and the inner conflict of being unable to say “I love you” herself.

The lyrics were written by Yasushi Akimoto, and the song was released in February 2019.

The music video was filmed in Chiba Prefecture and directed by Kazuma Ikeda.

With a theme of “one-way traffic,” the 12 members deliver a captivating performance.

It’s a recommended track not only for those troubled by love, but also for anyone who wants to change their inability to be honest.

Listening to this song will surely give you courage.

Love will winKAN

Aiwa Katsu

Love will winKAN

KAN’s 1990 album ‘Yakyu Senshu ga Yume Datta’ (I Wanted to Be a Baseball Player).

The track ‘Ai wa Katsu’ included on this album is loved across generations—it’s practically an anthem of love songs.

In fact, it didn’t become a hit right after its release; it skyrocketed in 1991 when it was chosen as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s ‘Hochan no Yamada Katsu Tenai Television.’ Listening to this song makes you feel like everything will be okay as long as you believe in your feelings and move forward!

A Little Love SongMONGOL800

When it comes to love songs, you just can’t leave this one out, right? One of MONGOL800’s signature tracks, “Chiisana Koi no Uta” (A Little Love Song), is included on their second album “MESSAGE,” released in 2001, which boasts record-breaking sales.

Even though it wasn’t released as a single and quite some time has passed since its release, it’s still a beloved, landmark love song—and it’s easy to see why.

Brimming with single-hearted devotion for someone special, it’s a classic I recommend not only to those currently in love, but also for moments when you want to feel that flutter again and remember an old romance or someone you once loved.

Mr.Children “Nameless Poem” Mr.Children “HOME” TOUR 2007 ~in the field~

Nameless PoemMr.Children

Mr.Children have countless classic love songs, but I’ve deliberately picked this one as a representative.

It’s not a ballad but a rock tune, and within its powerful sound you can glimpse the resolve and determination toward love.

It’s nice to have a love song that isn’t just gentle once in a while.

Incidentally, released in 1996 as their 10th single at the time, it became the first in Oricon history to surpass one million copies in its first week.

It was used as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Pure.”

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Blue and Summer

Blue and SummerMrs. GREEN APPLE

When you’re in love, you can feel youthful no matter your age, right? If you’re looking for a song that elevates that feeling, Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Ao to Natsu” comes highly recommended.

It’s a sweet and slightly bittersweet track that perfectly captures youth—and summer.

Even if you’re already in a relationship, just listening to it will bring back that fresh, new feeling, so it’s a must-check.
