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.

Spring Song Ukasuka-G

Perfect for cherry blossom season, this gem of a song was crafted by the duo Ukasuka-G.

Let's Become a Cherry Blossom Tree AKB48

Released in 2011, AKB48’s single “Sakura Song” can be considered a spring staple for the group.

When we think of the cherry blossom season, many of us picture graduation ceremonies.

This song also portrays the emotional state—almost unstable—that comes with facing graduation.

The lyrics leave a strong impression, suggesting a firm determination to clarify one’s starting point and move into the future without forgetting that initial resolve.

It’s a quiet, slightly lonely ballad, yet through the lyrics you can feel a powerful emotion rooted deep in the heart.

CHiCO with HoneyWorks in the dawn where cherry blossoms flutter again today

It’s a cherry blossom song, but it’s a very fast-paced, pep-filled anthem.

It was used as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime “Gintama: Porori-hen.” You can even feel Gintoki in some of the lyrics.

It conveys the feeling that, although the friends have taken separate paths, they’ll surely meet again someday—and when they do, you want to be someone you won’t be ashamed of.

Sakura, the HKT48 we all ate together

You can’t separate cherry blossoms from graduation, can you? “Sakura, We All Ate It” is a graduation song from HKT48 that vividly conjures up scenes of fluttering cherry blossom petals.

While graduation songs tend to be imagined as bittersweet ballads, this one is an exceptionally poppy number.

The striking title layers the image of cherry blossom petals with the sadness of parting, capturing the feeling of swallowing back tears.

That contrast—along with the expression itself—is utterly endearing.

Enjoy spring to the fullest with this cute cherry blossom song!

A Petal of Cherry Blossom MISIA

This is a poignant song themed around cherry blossoms by MISIA, a female singer who led the J-pop scene in the Heisei era.

The lyrics, evocative of farewell, leave a strong impression as they entrust feelings for the distant “you” to the falling cherry blossoms.

In addition to cherry blossoms, the lyrics are rich with natural imagery such as crimson skies at dusk, the sea, and the sky, and listening to the song makes the scenery unfold before your eyes.

Yuzu’s “Sakurae” paints a straightforward, earnest feeling, like the dignified blossoms of cherry trees.

The title “Sakurae” was chosen to mean “meeting under the cherry blossoms.” Like cherry trees that bloom in full glory every spring, the song expresses a wish for the two of us to spend many seasons together, always side by side.

Although it’s written from a male perspective, the honest lyrics overflowing with love are sure to make many women’s hearts flutter.

And the bright melody, which evokes the warmth of spring, gently warms the heart.
