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.

Newspaper puzzle

Icebreaker Video, Episode 243 (Newspaper Puzzle)

Newspaper puzzle

This is a newspaper puzzle where you neatly restore torn newspaper back to its original form.

Fold a single sheet of newspaper four times, then tear it eight times.

Mix the pieces randomly, and at the signal to start, work to reassemble them into the original shape.

If you’re playing with a large group, increase the number of tears to make smaller pieces and raise the difficulty.

Compete to see which team can finish the fastest.

A game where you work together to complete a drawing

An app where you draw with strangers is insane lolololol

A game where you work together to complete a drawing

This isn’t a typical drawing game where you compete on resemblance.

Instead, it’s a game where you divide up roles and complete a single picture together based on one prompt.

For example, if you’re drawing an anime character, one person does the face, another the hairstyle, and another the body—each part has a different person in charge.

What kind of picture will we end up with? If it turns out even halfway decent, it’ll be a miracle (lol).
