[For Band Members] Recommended Anime Songs for School Culture Festivals and Campus Live Shows [2026]

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.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

This song by Yorushika—known for suis’s translucent vocals and n-buna’s evocative lyrics—was released in January 2024.

In today’s world, where the line between on and off often blurs amid our busy lives, GLASGOW’s music overflows with a charm that soothes everyday fatigue and recharges the heart.

This song, included on their first album “NOW I SAY” released in January 2024, also drew attention as the ending theme for the TV anime “Mr.

Villain’s Day Off.” Its calm, comfortable tone will free listeners from daily stress.

With a strong pop-rock flavor, it’s well-suited for band covers, so I hope you’ll give it a try.

As a guitarist, shredding the countermelody in the chorus is sure to feel great!
