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.

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…

Best Friend's GirlSandaime Jē Sōru Burazāzu fromu Eguzairu Toraibu

Right from the start, you think, “Ah, this is already tough…” and a painful love story comes into view.

It vividly depicts the agony of harboring a feeling so strong you want to shout “I love you,” yet one you must never reveal, keeping it locked in your heart all alone.

“If it hurts this much, I wish we’d never met” is a phrase often used in stories, but this is a song that truly makes you think, “Maybe that’s exactly right.”

It’s a song brimming with the cute inner feelings of a woman who wishes to cast a spell on his heart and become his lover.

Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko

Kyoko Koizumi Embraced by the Wintry Wind

Embraced by the wintry windKoizumi Kyoko

The bittersweet sound and lyrics of a woman with unrequited love, just like the song title suggests, express a cold, harsh feeling like a wintry wind.

They clearly convey the sadness and loneliness of loving someone who doesn’t notice her feelings.

Such a heartrending one-sided love is painful.

sentimentalHirai Ken

This is a gentle and very heartrending song by Ken Hirai.

It portrays a situation that feels like it could really happen in everyday life.

Because of that, I think many people will be able to relate to it.

The melody is extremely relaxed and tender, and it’s a song that may leave you with a profound sense of sorrow.

Hitomi Yaida – Unfinished Melody

Unfinished MelodyYaita Hitomi

This is Hitomi Yaida’s 8th single, released in March 2016 as her first album in four years.

It’s a poignant song that portrays the turmoil of being told it’s an affair—unable to fully grasp it—wavering between knowing one should walk away and being unable to let go of love.

I miss you so much and want to see you.Nishino Kana

Kana Nishino 'I Miss You, I Miss You (short ver.)'

I miss you so much and want to see you.Nishino Kana

It’s a song about thinking of someone so much you tremble with the desire to see them.

The feeling of “love” is something anyone can have, and even when the other person brings up breaking up, you can’t accept it and remain in love.

It’s that kind of song—unrequited, yet painfully bittersweet.

CALL MEYOSHII LOVINSON

CALL ME / YOSHII LOVINSON cover by Miho Matsuoka

CALL MEYOSHII LOVINSON

This is a solo song by Kazuya Yoshii, the vocalist of THE YELLOW MONKEY.

Through poetic expressions, it conveys the frustration and helplessness of an unattainable love.

It’s a heavy, passionate track that I especially recommend to anyone who’s ever agonized over a phone that never rings.
