I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

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.

The true identity of Hachi, the creator of “Matryoshka,” is the hugely popular artist Kenshi Yonezu! Before working under the name Kenshi Yonezu, he began posting Vocaloid videos and has continued to release new tracks consistently.

“Matryoshka” is a high-energy song with a driving, relentless rhythm, so you’ll want to raise the tempo to some extent when playing it on piano.

Practice each hand separately first—keeping a steady bass line in the left hand while layering a light, agile right hand—then try putting them together.

Since the original arrangement is quite simple, it’s also recommended for beginner pianists.

It’s a soul-stirring piece that has drawn comments like “The melody is so beautiful it gave me goosebumps” and “The moment I heard it, I couldn’t stop crying.” It makes you feel the magnitude and importance of the formless things that remain in people’s hearts.

The pairing of the moving melody and the piano’s tone is, of course, a perfect match.

The simple arrangement is lovely, but layered harmonies make it easier to expand the song’s world, so once you can play a simple arrangement, definitely try challenging the intermediate and advanced levels as well.
