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.

Spring DayAimyon

Aimyon – Harunohi [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

Harunohi Aimyon

The love story that begins on the everyday setting of a train platform is striking.

Aimyon portrays the relationship between the married couple Hiroshi and Misae with a warm perspective, gently singing about how their family grows over time.

Layering past memories with the ones yet to be made, this work resonates as a story of deepening family bonds.

Written as the theme song for the April 2019 animated film Crayon Shin-chan: Honeymoon Hurricane – The Lost Hiroshi, it was also included on the album Heard There’s Delicious Pasta.

It’s a song I wholeheartedly recommend to those embarking on a new beginning with the arrival of spring, and to anyone who wants to reflect on the bonds they share with their loved ones.
