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.

A masterpiece whose transparent, delicate piano tones gently envelop the heart.

The crystalline melodies performed by Ryuichi Sakamoto tenderly accompany the listener, like a breeze rippling across the surface of water.

Released in May 1999 as the theme for a Daiichi Sankyo pharmaceutical commercial, this work—despite its simplicity—brims with deep emotion and achieved the remarkable feat of becoming the first instrumental piece to top the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

Its soothing sense of weightlessness creates a healing atmosphere for moments when you seek a brief respite from a busy day, wish to sharpen your focus, or want a serene companion for quiet reading.
