Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

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!”

Come, spring.Matsutōya Yumi

Speaking of “Haru yo, Koi,” it’s a quintessential spring song! It became an explosive hit after being chosen as the theme song for NHK’s morning drama series “Haru yo, Koi.” Since its 1994 release, it has been covered by many artists, including Noriyuki Makihara and May J.

In addition, as support for areas affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, a “Haru yo, Koi Project” was carried out in collaboration with NHK.

The new version of “Haru yo, Koi,” created by connecting videos submitted by viewers, was even showcased at that year’s NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s a song that conveys both the bittersweet feeling of waiting for spring and the warmth of Yuming’s personality!
