[Upbeat Breakup Song] Love songs and anthems that give you the courage to take a new step forward

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!”

I’m sure there are people who decided to stop living together after a breakup.

It leaves you with such a bittersweet feeling, doesn’t it? That’s why I want you to listen to “Less Than Friends, Less Than Lovers.” It portrays two people whose feelings gradually drift apart until they’re just housemates.

In the latter half of the song, the two reunite, but they end up in an ambiguous relationship where they can’t go back to being lovers or even become friends.

Still, it doesn’t carry a negative message—it’s about the resolve to keep moving forward.
