Lovely love song

“I Want to See You”: A love song that makes you cry when you listen to it while you can’t meet

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♫

The one-and-only, distinctive CreepHyp world created by vocalist Sekai Kan Ozaki is highly praised by fans.

In “Reversiblue,” the way the feeling of “wanting to see someone” is expressed is also unique—you might think, “Why not just say you want to see them normally?” but that roundaboutness is precisely CreepHyp.

It’s surely enjoyable to unravel the lyrics penned by such an expressive artist.
