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!”

Originally, it was an anti-war song created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono with the message “let’s end war.” Nowadays, it’s become a classic Christmas song that you hear on the radio in December.

The makeshift Santa Claus

The Flying Santa Claus (Fusako Fujimoto ver.)

The makeshift Santa Claus

It’s a Christmas song that sings about how children “can’t wait for Santa!” Its unique twist—calling out to a tardy Santa Claus—seems like something kids would really enjoy.

It’s a highly recommended Christmas song.

Ojamajo Happy ChristmasMAHO dō

Ojamajo Happy Christmas – MAHO Do [KAN/ROM/EN Color Coded Lyrics]

Ojamajo Happy ChristmasMAHO dō

The anime Ojamajo Doremi has continued to be loved across generations.

MAHO-dou is a musical unit formed by the voice actors of its main characters.

They’ve sung many friendly, approachable songs, but the one I especially recommend for Christmas is Ojamajo Happy Christmas.

It’s a pop song that depicts the characters enjoying the holiday.

With spoken lines and catchy phrases woven in, it conveys a lively sense of fun.

Singing it yourself will make that joy come through even more.

Little Snowflake

Little Snowflake | Kids Songs | Super Simple Songs

Little Snowflake

The Japanese title is “Little Snowflake.” It’s a song that depicts snow gradually piling up, and the lyrics are built from simple words repeated throughout.

Because the vocabulary is so straightforward, even children could probably memorize it after listening a few times.

It’s an adorable song when sung a bit haltingly.
