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!”

To Those Who Know the Blue of the Skyaimyon

When it comes to Aimyon, she’s a hugely popular female singer-songwriter, and the real charm of her music lies in how relatable her lyrics are.

People often say you only realize how important something is after you’ve lost it, and this song captures exactly that feeling.

It also portrays how once you’ve lost something, it’s not easy to get it back, and no matter how much you wish to see someone, you can no longer meet them.

YOASOBI "I Like You" Official Music Video

I like you.YOASOBI

YOASOBI’s “Sukida” (“I Like You”) was released in May 2022.

It’s a collaboration with a newly written novel by Naoki Prize–winning author Eto Mori, themed “a story to read when you confess your feelings for the first time,” making it a love song brimming with the fluttery excitement right before a confession.

It’s filled with a girl’s bewilderment that seems to have leapt straight out of the novel, her awakening to what it means to love someone, and a powerful determination, giving the whole piece a sparkling feel.

Even when it’s unrequited love and you don’t know how the confession will turn out, this song cheers on that straight-ahead feeling of being in love.

Midnight Kiss Mezutto mayonaka de ii no ni.

ZUTOMAYO – “Kiss Me at Midnight” (Audio Track)

Midnight Kiss Mezutto mayonaka de ii no ni.

A bittersweet song by the rock band Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni, known as “Zutomayo,” that beautifully portrays aching love.

Set against a city like a nighttime jungle, the lyrics leave a strong impression with their longing to remain ignorant and the sorrow of waiting for someone.

While expressing the self as a cat-like presence, the song weaves a struggle between wanting to be loved and wanting to stay unaware, carried by a clear, translucent voice.

This track is included on the album Jinkougaku, released in June 2023.

The deluxe first-press edition also includes footage from a January 2023 live performance, making it a must-have for fans.

Highly recommended for those who feel the frustration and pangs of being in love, and for anyone captivated by nocturnal scenery.
