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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Kana Adachi “I Need to Talk to You” Music Video

I need to talk to you.Adachi Kana

One song known as the ending theme for AbemaTV’s “Kyo, Suki ni Narimashita” is Hanashi ga Aru (“I Need to Tell You Something”).

It’s by Kana Adachi, a singer-songwriter from Gifu Prefecture, and it was released digitally in 2019.

The song portrays the bittersweet feelings of unrequited love and ultimately ends with a farewell, but I think it’s a love song that makes you feel, “I have to tell them how I feel…” when you’re lacking the courage to confess to someone you like.

So that you won’t have any regrets, please try to find just a little bit of courage.

Rubik LoveJenīhai

This track is a pop number that portrays a frustrating, unrequited love, included on the second album “Jenny Star,” released in September 2021.

The message, which gently embraces such complex emotions, becomes deeply relatable.

Over a lively groove, the interwoven ensemble of guitar and dazzling piano deftly expresses the wavering of a love that’s anything but straightforward.

It’s a song that will resonate with anyone struggling through a complicated romance.

Speaking of collaborations between powerhouse female singers, we can’t forget this song by Miliyah Kato and Izumi Nakasone of HY.
