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!”

When you hear the phrase “a strong woman,” what kind of woman do you picture?

“A person with an inner core,” “someone who isn’t easily intimidated,” “someone who doesn’t dwell on the past”…

There are many ways to interpret what it means to be strong.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs that portray strong women from a variety of perspectives.

If you’re thinking, “I want to move on from heartbreak,” “I want to follow the path I believe in,” “I want to be myself,” or “Who am I, really?”, please read to the end.

You’re sure to find your ideal image of a “strong woman.”
