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.

uraomote (meaning 'two-faced' or 'having a public and a private side')Hey! Say! JUMP

Hey! Say! JUMP – Uraomote [Official Music Video YouTube ver.]

Uraomote Hey! Say! JUMP

Hey! Say! JUMP is a boys’ idol group that debuted in 2007 with “Ultra Music Power.” Their song “Uraomote” is a dance-pop track that served as the theme song for the Fuji TV serial drama “My Dearest Self with Malice Aforethought,” which began airing in 2022 and stars Ryosuke Yamada.

Just before the chorus, there’s a moment where the entire track goes quiet and the sound of a ticking second hand rings out, then it plunges straight into an irresistibly catchy hook.

In the chorus, the melody features distinctive chromatic lines that become increasingly addictive as you listen!

Naniwa Danshi – Doki it [Official Music Video]

Doki it Naniwa Danshi

This is a powerful rock tune by Naniwa Danshi that brightly cheers on young people starting a new chapter in life.

Released in February 2025 as the CM song for AOKI’s “Freshers Fair,” it carries a warm message that “being yourself is what’s truly wonderful,” with forward-looking lyrics full of a spirit of challenge that resonate deeply.

This track fully showcases the vocal and performance strengths of the group’s seven uniquely talented members.

The dance scenes, featuring refreshingly simple outfits of white shirts and denim, are also striking.

It’s a song that will gently nudge anyone taking their first step into something new.

Beyond the Night SkySMAP

Beyond the Night Sky – SMAP

Beyond the Night Sky SMAP

Formed in 1988 and, to much regret, disbanded in 2016, SMAP was arguably the most popular of Johnny’s idol groups—widely known and loved by everyone from children to the elderly.

Their song Yozora no Mukō has a gentle, mellow feel and is adored by a broad audience.

It’s also well known that Shikao Suga wrote the lyrics and has released a self-cover of the song.

Moonlight walkerA.B.C-Z

“Moonlight Walker” is a single by A.

B.

C-Z.

Although they had released albums and DVDs before, this is their first single.

Lyrics by Goro Matsui, music by Koji Makaino, arrangement by Hajime Funayama.

The song portrays a relationship in which a man is captivated by a woman with a slightly mysterious, suspicious allure—an unusual theme for an idol track.

It’s a cool, upbeat song, so be sure to give it a listen.

DAYBREAKOtokogumi

DAYBREAK Otokogumi 1988

DAYBREAK Otokogumi

Daybreak, the debut single by Otokogumi, was released in 1988.

Unusually for Johnny’s at the time, they were a band-style group.

They effectively disbanded in 1993, and among the members, the only one who remains with Johnny’s today is Kenichi Okamoto, the vocalist and rhythm guitarist.

It’s a cool rock number that makes full use of their band-driven sound.
