[Masterpieces Singing the Goddess] A Comprehensive Introduction from Showa-Era Songs to the Latest Hit Tracks

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.

One of the wonders of music is that it can take as its subject not only visible things, but also the sublime and the unseen.

In this article, we’ve gathered Japanese songs with the theme of “goddess” from among the endlessly rich possibilities of music.

There are many words that signify a goddess, such as Aphrodite, Venus, and Muse.

And the term doesn’t only refer to celestial beings—it can also describe someone you love or admire.

So, what kinds of goddesses will appear in the songs we’re introducing this time? We hope you enjoy them as you savor the lyrics.
