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.

It’s the rock ‘n’ roll number Hone Hone Rock, with guitar tones and drum beats that evoke the most rock ‘n’ roll and craziest character in Anpanman history, Horrorman.

The song is sung by Masato Shimon of Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun fame, and it’s a seriously rock ‘n’ roll, spooky, and catchy tune—a groovy, bone-rattling classic.

Horrorman Mechakucha-cha Horrorman (Kaneta Kimotsuki)

This is the theme song for Horrorman, performed by the original voice actor, Kaneta Kimotsuki.

He’s also well-known as the voice of Suneo in Doraemon.

Depending on your generation, many of you probably grew up with this version of Horrorman’s voice, which is both familiar and really brings out his bony, skeletal vibe.

It’s a cheerful tune—be sure to try the Bone-Bone Dance along with it!
