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.

Meeting youKetsumeishi

Ketsumeishi “Meeting You”

Meeting youKetsumeishi

This is an exceptionally straightforward wedding number by Ketsumeishi, a Japanese rap group widely loved for their approachable style and beautiful melodies.

With its laid-back rhythm and gorgeous harmonies, the song leans more toward a reggae vibe, and by avoiding heavy rhyming or packing in too many notes, it comes together as a high-quality pop song that’s both easy to sing and easy to listen to.

The accompaniment is very simple as well, so performing it live on piano or guitar at a wedding would likely make it even more moving.
