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.

After a breakup, it’s only natural to lose confidence and think, “There’s no one out there who could love me,” and become pessimistic.

Even if you know in your head that it’s temporary, it’s truly painful when you’re in the thick of it.

Tokyo Jihen’s “Transparent Person” gently lightens that feeling.

The protagonist is an invisible person—or someone convinced they are—but you can feel the carefree freedom of an invisible person who “can go anywhere without being seen by anyone.” It’s a song that offers a playful cheer to a heart that’s feeling down.

Naotaro Moriyama’s “If Living Is Painful” has a title that pierces the heart.

Released in 2008 as Moriyama’s 16th single, the song features lyrics written by poet Omodaka Kite, a friend of Moriyama’s.

The lyrics may seem a bit shocking right from the start, yet the gentle melody brings a gradual sense of solace.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to not only after heartbreak but also during life’s difficult times—a piece you’ll want to keep as a talisman.

A breakup song that leaves an impression with its contrast between an up-tempo, youthful rock ’n’ roll sound and bittersweet lyrics.

It’s a track released in April 2023 by 21st Century, Aijou Busoku, a rock band from Fukuoka.

The freshness of comparing the end of a romance to an expiration date and the concrete imagery make it highly relatable.

You can feel the poignant sense of memories fading as the cityscape changes, as well as the lingering desire to keep waiting.

Even with some sharp turns of phrase, the song’s message gently stays by your side with natural emotion, and it somehow leaves you feeling clear, uplifted, and forward-looking!
