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.

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♫

HEROMr.Children

I think this song fits a very cold winter perfectly.

Among Mr.

Children’s many tracks, I believe this one is especially popular.

The music video also evokes winter and has a cute vibe.

The grand, cinematic feel of the story brings the chill to mind.

Still, the feeling of love outweighs that cold—that’s the impression it gives.

It was released on December 11, 2002, as their 24th single at the time.

A morning hastened by snow arrives.

A hurried snowy morning comes — Official HIGE DANDism

An up-tempo love song, “Yuki Isogu Asa ga Kuru” (The Hurrying-Snow Morning Will Come).

It’s a track included on Official HIGE DANDism’s album “Love and Peace Are Within You.” Set to an up-tempo piano sound, it portrays a man and woman’s romantic push-and-pull as they go for a drive.

Listening to it is sure to warm your heart with the man’s straightforward feelings.

Given the setting, it’s also perfect as a companion for your own drives.

Another highlight is the pop-tinged production touches—like the use of glissando—that add to its charm.

Wish sumika

At first you might think it’s a bright, happy love song, but the more you listen, the more you realize it’s a very bittersweet song about love—sumika’s “Negai,” packed tightly with the feelings of unrequited love.

It’s not exactly a somber, tragic ballad, yet it’s a very sad track: a winter love song that conveys that pent-up, directionless emotion and the heartbreak almost everyone has felt.

More than a breakup song, it’s a poignant piece that shows just how deeply the singer cares for the other person and how much they’re thinking of them.

Winter Story Ketsumeishi

It was released in 2007 as a double A-side single with “On the Holy Night.” While “On the Holy Night” captures the excitement of spending a first Christmas with a lover, “Winter Story” expresses the feelings after a breakup, making the single a striking study in contrasts.

White Light Namie Amuro

This song marked Namie Amuro’s first Christmas track.

It’s perfect for a winter drive date when you and your partner, who you don’t often get to see because of busy schedules, finally manage to find time to meet.

As the lyrics say, no matter what unpleasant things happen every day, seeing your loved one blows them all away.

A drive date with this song playing sets a gentle, relaxed mood.

Highly recommended for those who usually live life in a rush.

It was released in 1996 as Namie Amuro’s eighth single.

Produced by Tetsuya Komuro, it was used as the commercial song for Hitachi Maxell’s “maxell UD2,” in which Amuro herself appeared.

The lyrics are memorable, as if encouraging you—walking through a winter park, mulling over love troubles, but saying it’ll work out somehow.

Namie Amuro’s dance and hairstyle also became a hot topic.
