A wonderful heartbreak song

[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!”

A warm, tender ballad by Huwie Ishizaki whose gentle voice wraps the bittersweet end of a romance and gives you a push toward the future.

The song is included on the best-of album “Huwie Best,” released in March 2018, and beautifully portrays both a break with the past and the resolve for a new beginning, imbued with the feeling of spring.

Set to a calm melody, it carefully weaves the emotions of accepting the end of love, and the music video drew attention for Masaki Suda’s delicate performance.

It’s a song that stays close to those facing complex feelings before starting a new chapter in life, or those trying to move forward while confronting something important.

Mascara lashesDREAMS COME TRUE

(Radio) Miwa Yoshida & aiko “Mascara Eyelashes”

Mascara lashesDREAMS COME TRUE

The title is very cute, but it’s a heartbreaking song about a girl who wants to look beautiful at least at the very end, only to end up with mascara smudged by tears and a ruined face.

The way those unrequited feelings are sung so breezily over a light, upbeat rhythm is truly impressive.

It once again reminds me of Miwa Yoshida’s power.
