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.

In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

A love that won’t return, no matter how hard you wish.

Even when you muster the courage to confess, they don’t turn around.

Or you finally become mutual, only for their feelings to drift away from you.

After heartbreak, you find yourself thinking, “I shouldn’t have confessed,” or “If only I’d been more honest,” and blaming yourself as precious moments replay in your mind.

And the more you try to forget, the stronger your feelings for them grow.

How toMinty

How about letting yourself sink into some chill sounds to heal the wounds of a broken heart? This track by singer Minty, who’s active on social media, was released in 2021.

It’s a hip-hop number with a mellow, gentle sound that feels so good.

The lyrics about a romance that made them understand what it truly means to “love someone” for the first time are heartbreakingly poignant.

Maybe the day you part ways is inevitable.

Still, you don’t want every last memory to turn bitter… It’s a breakup song that makes you want to have that kind of love.

Then, why?Mao Abe

Then, why?

Then, why Abe Mao?

This is a poignant ballad by Mao Abe that sings of the helpless feeling when you realize you were the only one who was serious, after being led on by someone’s suggestive behavior.

The regret of having believed the words of a capricious, cat-like partner, and the pain that makes you want to demand, “Then why did you say that?” ride on her emotional vocals and pierce straight into your heart.

The song is included on the album “Su.” released in June 2011.

Remarkably, Abe wrote it during her high school years, and the pure, youthful cry of the heart resonates with raw intensity.

When you’re suffering from a lover’s ambiguous attitude and have nowhere to put your feelings, listening to this can feel as though it’s speaking for you.

Its gut-wrenching lyrics, paradoxically, will gently wrap your loneliness in warmth.

I miss you so much and want to see you.Kana Nishino

Kana Nishino 'I Miss You, I Miss You (short ver.)'

I Miss You, I Miss You by Kana Nishino

You could say this is one of Kana Nishino’s signature works.

Not just in 2010 when it was released—no matter how many years go by, it might not be an exaggeration to call it the best heartbreak song.

As it builds toward the chorus, the succession of relatable feelings makes the sadness swell.

“Even if it’s a lie, I want to hear you say ‘I love you’ one more time”—it’s a feeling anyone who’s had their heart broken can relate to.

This straightforward, honest breakup song speaks on behalf of those who have experienced love.

Masaharu Fukuyama – Beloved (Full ver.)

Beloved Masaharu Fukuyama

A song by singer-songwriter Masaharu Fukuyama, who continues to make his presence felt across a wide range of fields from music to acting.

It’s a self-cover of a track by KOH+, his unit with female singer Kou Shibasaki, and is included on his 10th album, “Zankyo” (Reverberation).

The depiction of not wanting to sever ties with someone even after breaking up, even after falling out of love, is something anyone—especially right after a heartbreak—can relate to.

With its rich piano sound and soothing low register vocals that gently cradle a wounded heart, it’s a breakup song with real depth.
