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!”

Ding Dong Merrily on High (Ding Dong Takaraka ni)

Ding Dong Merrily on High with Lyrics | Christmas Carol & Song

Ding Dong Merrily on High (Ding Dong Takaraka ni)

It was originally a piece composed in France for dancing, but after English lyrics were added to the music, it was repurposed as a Christmas carol.

Since it started as a dance tune, it’s catchier than other Christmas carols, isn’t it? With this, even children could probably memorize the melody right away.

Glory in the highest

[Soprano Singing] Glory to God in the Highest / Ame ni wa Sakae [Hymn No. 98] Nativity 🎄 Hark! the Herald Angels Sing 👼 Christmas Carol ⭐ With Lyrics ♪ Composed by Mendelssohn

Glory in the highest

It’s a hymn composed by Mendelssohn.

When you listen to it, it may not seem like a song for children, but in fact it was once used as the ending theme of the animated special “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” If you know a child who loves Snoopy, be sure to introduce it to them.

The melody is easy to remember, so it would be fun for a large group of children to sing it together in a chorus.

[Christmas Fingerplay] A Decorating-the-Tree Action Song: “Christmas Is Coming♪” Nurseryrhyme

Christmas is coming soon.sakushi sakkyoku: Mine Masanobu

We decorate Christmas trees with all kinds of ornaments, don’t we? “Christmas Is Coming Soon” is a playful song that lets you experience decorating a tree.

You make a tree over your head, form numbers with your fingers, and use those fingers to represent ornaments—simple, but a lot of fun.

It’s also great to actually decorate while singing.

Coming up with original ornaments nurtures imagination, and figuring out how to represent them with your fingers helps develop thinking skills.

Be sure to enjoy it at Christmas!
