Lovely love song

“I Want to See You”: A love song that makes you cry when you listen to it while you can’t meet

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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A single that delicately puts into words the bittersweet feelings of longing for a lover far away.

It vividly portrays the emotional ups and downs unique to long-distance relationships—putting on a brave face at parting, the resolve to live on alone, and the promise to meet again.

Making the most of the peggies’ pop-rock style, the track is included on their first major-label mini album, “super boy ! super girl !!,” released in January 2018.

It’s recommended not only for those who’ve experienced long-distance love, but also for anyone who has gone through a farewell with someone dear.

As you listen, it might be nice to face the “I miss you” feeling within yourself.
