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.

Spitz / Cherry

As their band name—chosen to convey a “short, cute, yet punk-ish” vibe—suggests, Spitz is a four-piece rock band that initially leaned toward a punk-influenced sound.

Their 13th single, “Cherry,” became a million-seller despite having no tie-in, and is widely known as a defining song of Spitz in the 1990s.

Its airy melody, carried by a striking high-tone vocal, seems to evoke scenes of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind.

With bittersweet lyrics that linger in the heart, it’s a cherry blossom song especially recommended for women.
