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.

In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day.

Blue Tears – Kokin’s SongKokin-chan (Aya Hirano)

Kokin-chan ☆Blue Tears☆

Blue Tears - Kokin's Song Kokin-chan (Aya Hirano)

Kokin-chan is a character who made her first appearance in Kokin-chan and the Blue Tears, which was screened alongside the 2006 movie.

She’s one of the characters with many fans, even ranking quite high in popularity polls.

Her special skill is fake crying—she can shed tears even when she isn’t sad—and she’s Dokin-chan’s younger-sister figure.

It’s a cute theme song that perfectly suits the selfish yet innocent and free-spirited Kokin-chan, who can even fluster Baikinman and Dokin-chan.

Anpanman song: the familiar Shokupanman

Familiar Shokupanman, Shokupanman (Sumi Shimamoto)

It’s Shokupanman’s theme song, “Familiar Shokupanman.” With its hero-like melody, listening to it makes you feel as if a battle is about to begin.

The lyrics are so typical of Shokupanman—kind at heart yet a bit affected.

Unlike Currypanman and Anpanman, Shokupanman apparently isn’t a bread made by Uncle Jam.

This is the theme song of Horaman, the cutest and most terrifying low-ranking villain in Anpanman history.

Fitting for Horaman’s theme, it opens with an intense rock sound, then shifts into a warm, fun tune with humorous lyrics.

If you listen closely, the lyrics are surprisingly profound, offering a perspective that makes you think about good and evil.

Rainbow StarDreaming

Rainbow Star

Dreaming of the Rainbow Star

A poetic and slightly bittersweet song that layers fragile yet beautiful dreams and hopes onto a rainbow you can see but can’t grasp.

The gentle vocals of Dreaming and the grand orchestral arrangement softly wrap around the listener’s heart.

Used as an insert song in the film “Go! Anpanman: The Pyramid of the Rainbow,” released in August 1997, it adorned the moving final scene.

When you’re a little tired from your daily efforts or want to feel a sense of kindness, listening to it will surely cleanse your heart.

And when you hear it again as an adult, you may find yourself feeling it in a different way.
