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.

Daisuke / What Only You Can Do (Short Ver.)

Things only you can doDaisuke

A cheering song that seems to gently let light into a heart clouded by heartbreak.

Its friendly rhythm and melody make it a flawless pop number! From 2011 to 2013, it was used as the first theme for the “Smile Caravan” segment on NTV’s information-entertainment program ZIP!, in which the artist appeared.

The second theme, “Sketchbook,” is also recommended.

It may not be a well-known song, but among fans it’s considered a masterpiece.

It’s built around main vocals and rap, and instead of pushing others down or shaming them, it carries a positive message: I’ll polish myself as much as I can, bloom into a big flower, and laugh with joy.

LOVE ～Destiny～Hamasaki Ayumi

Ayumi Hamasaki / LOVE ~Destiny~ (Short Ver.)

LOVE ～Destiny～Hamasaki Ayumi

I can always relate to Ayumi Hamasaki’s lyrics, delivered in her very cute, gentle singing voice.

They overflow with gratitude for meeting the man she loves, being able to be together, and being able to love each other.

With no hatred or anger, a farewell like this lets both people face forward and move on.

Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko

In memory of Kiyohiko Ozaki — “Until the Day We Meet Again” (Mata Au Hi Made) HD

Until we meet againOzaki Kiyohiko

A classic Showa-era song that, while up-tempo and bright, carries a tinge of melancholy.

Sung with Kiyohiko Ozaki’s overwhelming vocal power and lung capacity, it soars like a fanfare for a new beginning.

The song won awards such as the Japan Record Award and the Japan Kayō Award, and it was also performed on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

Dear daysHirai Ken

Ken Hirai Live at Hong Kong APM Performing “Itoshiki Hibi yo” – 2011-06-09

Dear daysHirai Ken

This song, which was also the theme for the drama “JIN,” is a masterpiece born from the strongest duo of Ken Hirai and music producer Kiyoshi Matsuo.

It makes my heart feel lighter, realizing that there’s no need to force myself to forget an ex—it’s okay to keep those memories in my heart as something beautiful.
