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.

ROUTE 246LINDBERG

[I tried playing it myself] LINDBERG / ROUTE 246

ROUTE 246LINDBERG

The debut single “ROUTE 246,” released simultaneously with the first album LINDBERG I.

The contrast between the edgy, bridge-muted guitar sound and the cool melody is striking.

Since the melody doesn’t move much and often sits in the lower range, it’s relatively easy to sing, but be careful not to get complacent—the leaps in the chorus can make it easy to miss the notes.

It’s a straightforward rock tune that I’d especially like those of that generation to try at karaoke.

Dream On, Hold Me TightLINDBERG

Dream On, Hold Me Tight

Dream On, Hold Me Tight LINDBERG

The 4th single “Dream On Dakishimete,” used as the CM song for the sports shop Alpen.

Its lyrics portray an unwavering resolve to never give up on one’s dreams no matter what anyone says, and will surely give a powerful push to those striving toward their goals.

Although the overall vocal range is wide because the chorus suddenly jumps to high notes compared to the A and B sections, the melody itself doesn’t move dramatically and is simple, making it easier to try.

Since the chorus continues toward the end, if you’re not confident with high notes, be sure to set the key beforehand to one that suits you.

Cute or BeautyLINDBERG

CUTEORBEAUTY/LINDBERG

Cute or BeautyLINDBERG

The song “Cute or Beauty,” included as a B-side to the 20th single “Kiyoku Tadashiku Ikou,” was used as the first theme song for the information program Mezamashi TV.

It’s also featured as the opening track on the 7th album LINDBERG VII, and its lyrics powerfully portray a passionate love for someone special.

Although the melody stays in a high register overall, the range isn’t very wide, so if you’re not confident about the key, it’s easy to try by setting it to whatever is comfortable for you.

With a vocal that’s both cute and powerful, it makes a strong impact—definitely a number to add to your karaoke repertoire.

Surely rain like silver needlesLINDBERG

Surely rain like silver needles

Surely, rain like silver needles is LINDBERG.

The song “Kitto Gin no Hari no Yō na Ame ga,” included on the 8th album LINDBERG VIII, was used as the theme for the “Mitsui Rehouse” commercial.

The lyrics evoke a scene of unexpectedly running into a former lover—some listeners may find their own experiences overlapping with it.

Although the chorus sits in a high key, the melody has little pitch movement and a generally relaxed flow, making it approachable if you stay calm.

It’s a lyrical number meant to be sung while picturing the scene.

Because that's true, isn't it!?LINDBERG

[本人が叩いてみた] LINDBERG / だってそうじゃない!? -> [The person themself tried drumming] LINDBERG / Because Isn't That So!?

Because isn’t that right!? LINDBERG

Their 16th single “Datte Sou Janai!?” was used as the commercial song for Fujifilm’s AXIA J’Z.

Its message—urging us not to forget what’s important even as we step into society and go through changes—may remind you of the reckless passion of your youth.

While the chorus is challenging due to its sustained high tones compared to the lower tones in the A and B sections, the melody itself has few large leaps and is quite simple, making it easy to sing.

It’s a powerful, up-tempo track that really gets things going, especially if you ask friends to join in on the chorus parts.

I want to see you (Lover soul)

I Miss You -Lover Soul- LINDBERG

The 14th single “Aitakute -Lover Soul-,” chosen as the commercial song for Fujifilm Corporation’s AXIA, was released simultaneously with their 6th album, LINDBERG VI.

Its rock sound featuring a catchy guitar riff leaves a strong impression.

While the melody includes many leaps that can make it easy to go off pitch, it’s slow-paced and simple, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a cute pop tune you’ll want to sing while imagining the feeling of wanting to see the one you love.
