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 play Electone, piano, and piano with vocals, and I upload performance videos to social media like YouTube! I’ve loved Disney music since I was little and have played many pieces on the Electone. 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♫

It's spring, isn't it? It's spring!Lyrics and Music: Naomi Abe

With cheerful lyrics ♪ “It’s spring, it’s spring!” [Preschool music activity, hand play song, an all-purpose game]

It's spring, isn't it? It's spring! Lyrics and music by Naomi Abe

This is the soothing hand-play song “It’s Spring, It’s Spring,” the kind that makes you smile and think, “Maybe this is what spring feels like for animals.” With its relaxed tempo, it’s gentle and easy for children to learn.

It could be fun to imagine how animals spend spring and try arranging the song with that in mind.

There are call-and-response parts where you can call out to the animals, which makes it enjoyable.

The melody is simple, so it’s a song children are likely to sing out energetically.

Dandelion ♪ On a cold hometown night beneath the snow, in the wind and in the earth — Dandelion. Lyrics by Wakaru Kadokura, Music by Kiyoshi Horikoshi

Dandelion Lyrics: Satoshi Kadokura / Music: Kiyoshi Horikoshi

In this song, it sings, “Let’s give dandelions to someone special.” It portrays dandelions as they wait for spring—so strong, resilient, and patiently enduring—that you can vividly picture them.

Because they’re such lovely flowers, perhaps that’s why we want to offer them to someone dear.
