[Songs for Wednesday] A collection of Japanese tracks themed around the week’s halfway point

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.

Wednesday might be a day with a mysterious charm.

Sitting in the middle of the week, it’s a special day where the feeling of “just a little more until the weekend…” mingles with the sense of accomplishment from making it this far since Monday.

In this article, we’ll introduce songs themed around Wednesday.

Different artists portray Wednesday in various ways.

Still, you’ll surely find points you can relate to in each of them.

Enjoy these exquisite “Wednesday songs” while reflecting on your own image of Wednesday.

From the title and just the intro, you might even think it would make a great wedding song—it’s that upbeat.

But in reality, it’s a full-on heartbreak song, with memories of a girl who said goodbye flooding back on a rainy Wednesday.

This is unrelated to the song itself, but during performances of “CHEWING GUM,” sheet-like gum gets thrown onstage from the audience one after another.

Even as part of a live act, it looks really hard to sing—seems dangerous, too.

When you listen to it as an adult, the song resonates even more deeply.

Just as the lyrics have a Kyushu accent, the members from Fukuoka are, of course, fans of their hometown Fukuoka Daiei Hawks, and after they grew especially fond of former pitcher Kazumi Saito, he introduced them on his own blog, which quickly boosted their popularity.

Our first meeting was on a Thursday in September, and just like the title suggests, the story began with taking shelter from the rain.

We started dating after running into each other by chance the following year, and it’s a humor-filled song that includes an episode about introducing him to my parents on a Wednesday in May.
