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.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

It's Love by V6

Ai Nanda, V6’s fifth single, was released in 1997.

The song came about when Koji Tamaki, who was co-starring in a drama with member Yoshihiko Inohara, offered to provide a track.

Tamaki composed the music for this song.

There are multiple versions, including one that starts from the chorus and another that’s much poppier than the original and features rap.

It’s still frequently performed on many music programs and at Johnny’s Countdown live shows.

The debut single by the Johnny’s group SixTONES, who debuted in January 2020.

Composed by YOSHIKI of X Japan, it’s a track where you can savor YOSHIKI’s signature style, from the piano introduction to the beautiful melodic lines.

With a structure that sharply contrasts stillness and dynamism, and vocals that masterfully navigate a classical, complex melody, the song showcases the evolution of a new era of Johnny’s groups.
