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.

In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

This is one of Mr.

Children’s signature works, featuring impressive lyrics that depict the journey of life and a grand, sweeping sound.

Its universal messages—about the importance of moving forward, the courage to face hardship, and the quest to find your ideal self—resonate deeply.

Released in October 1998 and used as the theme song for the TV drama “Naguru Onna,” it became one of their defining tracks.

It’s a song that will surely support those who keep striving toward their dreams and goals, as well as those standing at a crossroads or searching for themselves.

The lyrics are sprinkled with phrases that evoke the scenery of that era, easily conjuring images of people in their 40s passionately belting it out at karaoke.

Humming along to this song can suddenly revive the passion of younger days, bringing a warm surge to your chest.

Kome Kome Club – Just Having You Here

Just by you being there - Kome Kome CLUB

“Kimi ga Iru Dake de” is one of the signature masterpieces by Kome Kome Club that brightened the 1990s—a song almost everyone has heard at least once.

It’s not just nostalgic; its upbeat melody and widely relatable lyrics guarantee a great time in the karaoke room.

With a relatively narrow vocal range, it’s easy for anyone to sing, which is a big plus.

This is a song with the power to lift people up in any era, carrying a message that gives courage to those who listen.
