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.

milet 'us' MUSIC VIDEO (Theme song for the Nippon TV Wednesday drama 'Gisou Furin' [Fake Affair])

I think many people find it hard to honestly express their true feelings.

It’s a joy to find someone special.

You want to tell them you love them, and yet… you’re afraid that saying it will change the relationship.

It’s an eternal dilemma for women in love.

This song beautifully captures the delicate emotions of a woman.

It makes your heart flutter, and then the ache wells up.

“us” became a hot topic as the theme song for the 2019 TV drama “Gisou Furin” (Fake Affair).

In the drama, the protagonist—who is actually single but pretends to be married—struggles with doubt and inner conflict over an affair, and the song’s lyrics feel as if they give voice to her feelings.

Even if your situation isn’t an affair, if you’re dealing with similar troubles in love, please give it a listen!
