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 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♫

Miliyah Kato - “Aitai”

I Want to See You by Miliyah Kato

A top-notch unrequited love song by singer-songwriter Miliyah Kato, who portrays a woman’s feelings of love and the inner struggles she can’t tell anyone with delicate nuance: “Aitai.” It’s included on the 2009 album “Ring.” The lyrics poignantly depict her suppressing her emotions—she knows it won’t come true, and if she shows her feelings too openly, she might trouble the other person.

Even so, her overwhelming love comes through so strongly it almost hurts.

Because I fell in loveAimyon

Aimyon “Because I Fell in Love” Studio Recording Scene

I fell in love, by Aimyon

This is a track from Aimyon’s album “Momentary Sixth Sense.” The song conveys the bittersweet feelings of a woman whose boyfriend seems on the verge of leaving.

When you’re in love, the way you see the world can change—everything looks more beautiful, and little things make you happy.

But that happiness feels like it could slip away at any moment, and even though she knows it might be the end, she still clings to it.

Sung plaintively with acoustic guitar, this song makes my heart feel like it’s about to crumble (tears).
