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 play Electone, piano, and piano with vocals, and I upload performance videos to social media like YouTube! I’ve loved Disney music since I was little and have played many pieces on the Electone. I’ve been a fan of GLAY since junior high, and from there I started listening to all kinds of music, both Japanese and international. In Western music, I like Avril Lavigne♫

the peggies “Centimeter” Music Video

Centimeter the peggies

It’s a song by the three-piece girls’ band the peggies that portrays the state of unrequited love where you can’t find confidence in yourself and end up holding back right at the moment you think, “If I could just muster a little more courage.” Written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Rent-A-Girlfriend, it has earned strong support from fans of the original work as “the perfect song that closely matches the story.” That fear of getting too close precisely because you’re head over heels may be something unique to unrequited love.
