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.

Atarayo – Liar (Music Video)

Liar, Atarayo

A song that tightens your chest with its heartrending vocals.

The complex emotions of a man who’s been told it’s over are woven in delicate words.

It was the other person who confessed their love, yet it’s also the other person who ends it—such a contradiction.

They should have truly loved each other, but before they knew it, that love turned into hatred.

The song captures the fragility of such a romance.

Also talked about as an answer song to Atarayo’s signature track “I’ll Forget Your Quietness in October,” it was included on the October 2021 EP “Before Dawn.” It’s a bittersweet yet warm piece that gently accompanies those bearing the pain of heartbreak.
