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!”

This is a song by Marcy that portrays someone wishing their unrequited love would come true, even as they realize it won’t.

The push and pull between wanting to see the person and not wanting to—precisely because they know how much one-sided love hurts—evokes strong empathy.

Within the crisp band sound, the sharp guitar tones conjure the heartache that grows alongside deepening affection.

The song candidly captures the disarray of emotions: the desire to make unrequited love come true becomes its own source of suffering, while there’s also a longing to be freed from that pain.
