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.

beautiful / pretty / cleanYoshizawa Kayoko

Have you ever gone on a date only to find you couldn’t quite handle yourself well? That feeling is what “Kirei” depicts.

It’s a work released by singer-songwriter Kayoko Yoshizawa.

A mid-tempo ballad, it portrays the struggles of love from a woman’s perspective.

A key point is the subtle distance between the man and woman in the song—they might be in unrequited love, or they might both feel the same; it’s unclear.

It’s also lovely how the title word captures that delicate in-between phase.
