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.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Stand-Up SisterYU-KI

YUKI 'Stand Up! Sister'

Stand-Up Sister YU-KI

YUKI often sings sweet and cute love songs, but it seems she wrote this one to dedicate to a dear female friend.

Within the strong message of “stand up,” the song is filled with YUKI’s unique worldview of living naturally and freely.

Women are beautiful even when they cry or act selfishly.

That’s why this is an anthem for women—don’t give up on various things, don’t be swallowed by the world, and live powerfully.

Dear A-chan, Yu-i

The warm tone of an acoustic guitar feels so comforting, doesn’t it? This piece by Chan Yuu-i, a singer-songwriter from Ehime Prefecture, was released in 2020.

I bet quite a few people feel that a best friend can be “more than family, more than a lover.” Maybe it’s not something you can directly compare, but you just can’t help cherishing them that much.

Listening to this song might make those feelings grow even stronger.

Try listening to it with your friends.

Thank You, My Friend Song

THANK YOU feat. JamMAY'S

MAY’S’s “THANK♥YOU feat.

It’s filled with heartfelt gratitude for a friend you can truly call a “best friend”—someone who always listens, sometimes gives tough advice, and is there no matter what.

It’s a song that promises an unchanging bond and says “thank you” for everything so far to a best friend you want to cherish forever, whatever may come.

I'm glad you're here.Mako Mina

Makomina “I’m Glad You’re Here” full version now streaming!

I'm glad you're here, Makomina

MakoMina is a duo of two girls from Fukushima Prefecture who became hugely popular with their twin-dance videos.

This song is the first one for which MakoMina themselves, who were 18 at the time of its 2016 release, wrote the lyrics.

They say they wrote it while thinking of each other, making it a song that captures the real friendship between girls.

It’s a wonderful track that honestly expresses the simple feeling of “I’m so glad I have friends.” I think it’s the ultimate friendship song, from girls, for girls.

sana/HoneyWorks 'A Promise Beyond Words'

A Wordless Promise sana / HoneyWorks

“You’re not fighting alone.” This song makes you feel that way.

Even if you argue and hurt each other, it makes you want to deepen your friendship.

It’s a song that inspires the feeling that, no matter the distance, you’ll rush over anytime.

It shows how significant friends are.

It makes you ask yourself whether you have a friend you’d be willing to protect, even if it means getting hurt yourself.

And it makes you realize that the friendship you hold in your heart continues even as you grow older; after listening, you’ll probably feel like calling an old friend.
