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.

STAR LIGHTHikaru GENJI

A gem of a debut work that colors the pale-blue hues of youth.

Written and composed by ASKA of CHAGE and ASKA, this song delivers a refreshing ode to the boundless potential and pure dreams of young people.

Naniwa Iroha-bushiKanjani∞

Kanjani Eight

Naniwa Iroha-bushiKanjani∞

A debut work characterized by a distinctive musical style that fuses enka and rock.

Quoting Japan’s traditional “Iroha” poem, it powerfully sings of the joys and hardships of everyday life while praising Kansai’s culture and the temperament of its people, resulting in a track that strongly conveys Kanjani∞’s love and pride for their hometown.

Released exclusively in the Kansai region in August 2004 and nationwide the following month, the song was used as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s variety show Ura Jani.

It’s a recommended listen for those who want to enjoy a uniquely Kansai atmosphere or are interested in the fusion of traditional Japanese music with a modern sound.
