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.
lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

I want that special someone to finally notice me—I want to tell them how I feel…

5 seconds before I fall seriously in loveHirosue Ryōko

I can picture the situation of a first date with someone you really love.

The fluttery, excited feelings of the girl are so adorable.

The way her heart skipped a beat when they went out together, and the kiss he gave her right before her curfew… They became a mutual couple, didn’t they? She’s truly a very cute, pure-hearted girl.

Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako

Takako Matsu – When Spring Comes Tomorrow

Tomorrow, when spring comesMatsu Takako

Since the lyrics mention a “white ball,” I wonder if the boy she likes plays baseball.

You can feel the bittersweet emotions of two people who like each other but can’t express their feelings.

Even though they parted with complicated feelings, the woman’s desire to go see him again when spring comes is very pure and lovely.

ambushIshikawa Hitomi

Originally sung by Seiko Miki and later covered by Hitomi Ishikawa.

Curiously, both have said they experienced the same thing as in this song.

Perhaps because of that, the emotions poured into it are ones that people with unrequited feelings can readily accept.

Released in 1976, it’s a song that still resonates today.
