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.

A heartwarming message that gently embraces the anxieties and hopes of starting school is woven into the melody by DaijiMAN Brothers Band.

Brimming with the wish “May you be happy,” the song’s arrangement, which supports those taking a new step forward, is also memorable.

Released in April 1992 and cherished as the first ending theme of the TV Asahi anime Crayon Shin-chan, this track became a hit second only to the band’s signature song Sore ga Daiji, and is included on the album GOLDEN☆BEST DaijiMAN Brothers Band.

It’s a perfect choice as BGM for entrance ceremonies and preparation for starting school, as well as an encouraging anthem that gives a gentle push to children who feel anxious about school life.
