DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

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.

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE – Thank You. (from DWL 2011 Live Ver.)

Thanks.DREAMS COME TRUE

Having friends who stay by your side in tough times is such a blessing, isn’t it? This song by DREAMS COME TRUE, a band that has been at the forefront of the Japanese music scene for many years, was released in 1995 as their 17th single.

It’s a piece that expresses gratitude to a friend who understands the pain of heartbreak without a word.

Yoshida’s steadfast vocals seem to add depth to the storytelling.

Having friends who are that understanding is truly wonderful, isn’t it?
