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.

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!”

Come Be My Bride 2015PUNPEE ft. Kayama Yūzō

Come Be My Bride 2015 / Yuzo Kayama feat. PUNPEE

Come Be My Bride 2015PUNPEE ft. Kayama Yūzō

PUNPEE remixed Yuzo Kayama’s classic “Oyome ni Oide,” creating a track that preserves the original’s atmosphere while adding fresh appeal.

Its gently rhythm-forward sound is striking, evoking a calm, introspective stance toward one’s feelings.

Rather than focusing on thoughts of marriage like the original, the lyrics seem to depict the struggles of finding one’s own way of life, making it a work that could prompt reflection at life’s turning points.

The story of pursuing a personal form of happiness also comes across as a straightforward message about walking through life together.

Motohiro Hata / Ai (Short ver.)

AiHata Motohiro

This is a song that makes you cry without meaning to, thanks to Motohiro Hata’s gentle voice, the sound of his guitar, and the tender lyrics.

Even though I didn’t believe in “love,” meeting you turned my ordinary days into something colored by the warm hue of “love.” After such a fateful encounter, people get married.

It’s a lyric that, in a way, expresses gratitude: because you were there, because I met you, I was able to gain that warm “love.”
