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.

Somei Yoshino ~Feelings~

Somei Yoshino ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI

This is the first single released under one of Tsuyoshi Domoto’s solo monikers, ENDLICHERI☆ENDLICHERI; Domoto is also active as a member of KinKi Kids.

Titled after Somei Yoshino, a cherry blossom variety commonly seen in Japan, the song depicts the many emotions felt during cherry blossom season.

Its airy, floating sound—evoking an unsteady mind and shifting feelings—together with vocals that accentuate that mood, creates a unique world.

The track conjures the sense of unease behind the beauty of cherry blossoms, which can be seen only for a limited time each year: how many more times will we get to witness this scene?

Sakura-iro Kaneyori Masaru

Sakura-iro by Kaneyori Masaru depicts the sweet-and-sour feeling of unrequited love.

It’s included on the 2023 album Watashi no Nocturne.

The idea that just hiding behind a cherry tree and simply watching the person you love can make you happy—that’s a feeling only someone who’s been in unrequited love can truly understand.

Even if, deep down, you want to spend more time together, these cute lyrics say it’s enough for now just to be by their side, and it makes your heart flutter.

Enhancing those heart-fluttering lyrics even more are the refreshing sound and the adorable voice of vocalist Chitose Mina!

Spring Breeze Rihwa

Like a gently blowing spring breeze, this song softly wraps around your heart.

“Haru Kaze” (Spring Breeze) by singer-songwriter Rihwa was released on February 26, 2014.

It was written as the theme song for the drama “Boku no Ita Jikan,” starring Haruma Miura.

It’s a song that makes you believe that as long as someone precious is by your side, you can overcome any pain or hardship.

It’s especially recommended for those times when you find it hard to be kind to your partner.
