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!”

Recommended for anyone with an unrequited crush!

From Me to Youflumpool

It was tied in as the theme song for the hugely popular shojo manga ‘Kimi ni Todoke’ movie, and since it was frequently played in commercials, many of you have probably heard it.

With a refreshing, clear vocal and a straightforward expression of pure feelings—simply “I like you”—that reaches the heart, it’s a very fresh, youthful love song.

Highly recommended!

No matter how we meet, it portrays a steadfast feeling that I’ll surely fall in love with you again.

When you have a one-sided crush, there are times when they don’t notice your feelings, or even when you try to convey them, they brush you off, and it can be painful.

This song is filled with pure, straightforward love and the wish, “I want you to know this love.” Listening to it when you’re hurting might help you face love anew.

Until it’s clearly a breakup, you want to keep holding on to your feelings, don’t you?
