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♫

Deep Affection / Nana Mizuki

Deep Affection Nana Mizuki

Here is a song written as the opening theme for the TV anime WHITE ALBUM.

It features the harp of Mika Agematsu—an arpa player who is composer Noriyasu Agematsu’s younger sister and arranger Hitoshi Fujima’s wife—giving it a distinctive atmosphere.

Nana Mizuki’s outfit in the promotional video looks well-suited for cosplay, so creating a similar costume and singing it might turn out nicely.
