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.

AitaiKato Miria

Miliyah Kato - “Aitai”

AitaiKato Miria

Miliyah Kato, known as a charismatic figure among high school girls, is also one of the most prominent artists known for singing love songs.

This track was created based on advice messages she received from 420,000 “MyMixi” friends on the social networking site Mixi, which was popular mainly among high school girls at the time.

Her gentle voice conveys a range of bittersweet emotions in love—like the loneliness of wanting to meet someone but being unable to.

Many people experience the same kind of heartache and loneliness, and realizing that a beloved artist is giving voice to those feelings can be comforting.

Though the song is sad, in a way, that very fact gives you courage.

Gen Hoshino – In the Useless (Live at Osaka-jō Hall 2016)

In the midst of the trivialHoshino Gen

Gen Hoshino is a singer-songwriter who made his solo debut in 2010.

“Kudaranai no Naka ni” is his first single—surprisingly not widely known—and, according to Hoshino himself, the first love song he wrote by facing the theme head-on.

Instead of the simple line “I love you,” the lyrics use his distinctive, tasteful word choices, which can really lift your spirits when you’re in love.

Why not take your time and savor this hidden gem by Gen Hoshino?

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – Eine Kleine

Eine KleineYonezu Kenshi

Falling for someone brings plenty of joy, but there are also times when you suddenly feel sad, scared, or your mood just drops.

For those moments, the sentimental love song that fits perfectly is Kenshi Yonezu’s “Eine Kleine.” Even though thinking about someone you like should make you happy, you can end up thinking negatively—everyone must feel that way sometimes.

It’s a slightly sad yet deeply touching love song about wishing for that person’s happiness, even if it means sacrificing your own feelings.
