A wonderful classic

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.

As a pop song creator, it’s no exaggeration to say he’s reached a master-craftsman level.

There’s nothing to fault in the narrative quality of his lyrics.

His songs compel you to read the words.

He says he writes the poem first and then composes the music—at that point, he’s a genius.

This song is written from a man’s perspective about male insensitivity.

It’s endearing, as if you can hear him saying, “Don’t be so angry—please forgive me.”

It’s a super nostalgic SMAP classic, but it’s still a love song you can enjoy today and sing with tons of energy.

It’s a powerful track that makes you want to have a summer romance that really pops.

I still want to keep listening to it even now, so I recommend it to middle schoolers, too.
