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.

Deputy Editor of the web media RAG MUSIC. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. 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.

In loveHY

HY - “In Love” (Theme song for the film ‘366 Days’) Music Video

Falling in love with HY

A gem of a love song that portrays the journey of looking forward after heartbreak.

It gently expresses the acceptance of a past breakup and the growth that comes from that experience, carried by a tender melody.

It’s a memorable masterpiece marked by a positive spirit—gratitude for the encounter, and a resolve to cherish the memories even if the love was not meant to be.

Included on the album “TIME,” this song was written as the theme for the film “366 Days,” set for release in January 2025.

Positioned as an answer song to “366 Days,” which depicts unrequited love, it completes the story by tracing the path to recovery from heartbreak.

A heartwarming ballad that will resonate with those who have overcome the pain of a breakup or who hold dear the memories of a precious love.

Mayo Okamoto’s gentle, translucent voice seems to softly stay by the side of a wounded heart.

This song is a single released in 1996.

It tenderly sings of the feelings of a woman putting on a brave face.

If only I’d been honest back then, would a different future have awaited me? Looking back, the memories that surface are mostly regrets.

In hard times, sorrowful memories inevitably fill our minds.

My love was overflowing.Mosa o.

Overflowing with Love / Mosawo [Music Video]

It was overflowing with love.

It’s a heartbreak number about agonizing over why things ended with a lover.

It’s a song by the singer-songwriter Mosawo, released digitally in 2020.

Centered around the sound of an acoustic guitar, it’s a clear, transparent ballad.

Even just the sound alone seems to convey the feelings poured into the song.

If you’ve ever been dumped, you’ve surely wondered, “What was wrong with me?” It’s a lonely piece that stays close to those feelings.

Unreachable love songTani Yuuki

Unreachable love song – Tani Yuuki (Official Lyric Video)

Unreachable love songTani Yuuki

Despite being said to have started his career in 2020, his YouTube subscriber count is already on the verge of reaching 500,000.

With nearly 50 releases including MVs and digital-only singles, I feel that Tani Yuuki is one of the artists riding the biggest wave right now.

Here’s one of Tani’s pop yet somehow bittersweet tracks, “Unreachable love song.” Rather than a full-on tearjerker, a “tour of places filled with memories” might pair better with the refreshing words of heartbreak.

If you want to shed tears you don’t want others to see, this song is highly recommended.

My loverMayumi Itsuwa

My Lover

Mayumi Itsuwa – Koibito yo

A gem of a ballad by Mayumi Itsuwa that gently embraces the joy of falling in love and the pain of parting.

It tenderly accompanies the self-blame that can arise in the anguish of heartbreak, sinking deeply into the listener’s heart.

Released in August 1980, it reached No.

1 on the Oricon chart and earned her first appearance on that year’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

A classic covered by many artists, including Noriko Awaya and Hibari Misora.

For those carrying a love-worn heart, this is a song that will quietly stay by your side.

Why not listen to it on a quiet night? It will surely become a soothing time that permeates your soul.

You were happy, right?My hands look like cream buns.

We Were Happy / Hands Like Cream Bread (Forget about you / tegacreampan) [Official Music Video]

You were happy—your hands were like cream buns.

Handga Cream Pan, who is mainly active by posting her works on TikTok, wrote “Shiawase datta ne” based on her own experiences.

It’s a ballad that depicts a heartbroken woman trying to forget her ex.

The more she tries to forget, the more she can’t—an inner conflict many people will relate to.

It’s actually a sequel to “Aitai na,” so I recommend listening to them together.

Knowing the story so far will help you connect with it even more emotionally.

Good - Joshi - Ami Sakaguchi

An encouraging song that gently wraps you in a soft, warm voice, depicting love from the perspective of a down-to-earth woman.

Released in July 2017 as her major-label debut single, it was chosen as the ending theme by FM stations across Japan.

As Yumebo Sakaguchi herself says, it “reflects my own experiences,” and the lyrics vividly capture the emotions after a breakup.

It’s a track that gives you the spark to say, “Even after we part, I’m going to keep looking forward and living my life!” Highly recommended for women struggling with love or anyone who wants to cherish their true self.
