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.

So she isn’t your girlfriend, Yuuka Ueno.

A heartbreak song about saying goodbye even though you still like him, “I Guess I’m Not Your Girlfriend.” When we were together we fought a lot, and there were even times I started to hate the very things I once loved about him.

But when I think this is the end, strangely, all that comes to mind are his good qualities and the happy times we spent together.

It’s a song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of such a woman.

The lyrics and music are by Yohei Hashiguchi of wacci, who also gained popularity with “I Became Someone Else’s Girlfriend.” He perfectly captures the emotions of a woman who still has lingering feelings for her ex.

There are times when someone you thought you’d forgotten suddenly comes to mind one day, aren’t there? In those moments, even painful events are somehow idealized, and when you look back, everything feels like a fond memory.

It can feel sad to have forgotten an old lover so much that you wouldn’t even notice them if you passed on the street, but it’s also proof that you’ve kept moving forward.

This is a song that gently nudges those who are struggling now and gives them the strength to turn their eyes toward a joyful, happy future.

Young Skinny – I Don't Like You [Official Music Video]

I don't like you, Young Skinny.

A four-piece rock band formed by members who met on social media, Young Skinny sings a song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman who can’t forget an old love.

She’s thrown away all the mementos to move on to her next relationship, yet the memories alone won’t fade, and they resurface in unexpected moments—an experience many of us have had.

The more you think, “I’ve already forgotten,” the more the memories cling to you.

It’s a heartbreak song that gently tells those who wonder, “Why do I keep dwelling on this?” that they’re not alone and that it’s going to be okay.
