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.

Camping is fun because it offers both a sense of freedom and calm.

We’ve selected a wide range, from classic camp songs to perfect tunes for campfire sing-alongs and tracks you can use for recreational activities.

To the Sun in the Palm of Your Hand

“Tenohira o Taiyou ni” (Palms to the Sun) is also famous for having lyrics written by Takashi Yanase, the creator of Anpanman.

I remember singing this song while holding my palms up to the sun! It’s said that when Yanase was feeling down at work, he warmed his cold hands under a desk lamp and, seeing the blood flow make them look red, he regained his energy and came up with the lyrics.

How about singing this uplifting classic—covered by many artists over the years—on your way to camp or during recreational activities?
