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.

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.

Aimyon – 3636 [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]

3636 Aimyon

We’re always enchanted by the world of lyrics Aimyon creates, aren’t we? The way she lets us view each romantic situation from multiple angles is captivating every time.

And I think there are many moments when, more than the lyrics themselves, we’re drawn to her sense for choosing just the right words.

It’s a subtle feeling that’s hard to convey, but if you listen to this song, “3636,” I think you’ll get a glimpse of it.

With lines like, “The password for the box we used together for deliveries was 3636, but that door won’t open anymore,” the confessional, almost novella-like lyrics feel cinematic.

It’s a sad song, yet it makes you want to revisit a finished love again and again—a love song like that.

To tell you the truth.Yoriko

Yoriko / Hontowa ne

To tell you the truth. — Yoriko

Yoriko’s “Honto wa ne,” with its fragile yet strong, resolute singing voice, was released in 2002.

It’s about that helpless feeling of having always loved someone but never being able to confess it in the end.

You worry that, even after years, those feelings might never take flight and may never change.

But I don’t think you have to force yourself to forget or try to move on.

Continuing to think about one person for a long time is painful, but it will surely make you beautiful at heart.

Please cherish that precious love as much as you want.

I love you more than anyone.Toko Furuuchi

[megu-p] I love you more than anyone~

I love you more than anyone — Toko Furuuchi

When I listen to this song, I can’t help but think how wonderful women are! It captures a woman’s heart—the urge to run away even when you’re in love, the anxiety—in such a delicate way that it feels like it’s singing about me.

With unrequited love, every little thing can send you soaring or sink you into despair.

And even when those feelings won’t stop and you muster the courage to confess, sometimes the love doesn’t come true.

It’s really painful, isn’t it?
