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 love that won’t return, no matter how hard you wish.

Even when you muster the courage to confess, they don’t turn around.

Or you finally become mutual, only for their feelings to drift away from you.

After heartbreak, you find yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t have confessed,” or “If only I’d been more honest,” and blaming yourself as precious moments replay in your mind.

And the more you try to forget, the stronger your feelings for them grow…

The songs featured in this article are all achingly beautiful masterpieces we want you—who loved with all your heart—to hear.

Regret that won’t stop no matter how much you cry, and the inability to give up on the one you love.

These songs will stay close to those pure feelings.

aiko - “Chapped Lips Lose Love” music video

Chapped lips will cost you love.aiko

From aiko’s album “Ima no Futari wo Otagai ga Miteru,” released in March 2023, the advance single was “Areta Kuchibiru wa Koi wo Nakusu.” It’s an upbeat number with a lavish horn section, showcasing the happy, characteristically aiko sound.

In contrast, the lyrics tell a bittersweet story of longing for a former lover, and the gap between the sound and the words makes the sadness hit even harder.

The song “Areta Kuchibiru wa Koi wo Nakusu” was performed on NHK’s music program “SONGS,” which aired on April 13.
