A style that keeps updating my favorites while loving mainstream and hit songs. I have experience writing articles for outlets like Utaten. Since I discovered music as a student, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. 2000s J-POP and 2010s K-POP were my youth, and I’m also loosely into jazz and R&B. I enjoy good music across genres with a “good is good” mindset. Thanks to my past work environment (and its influence), I listened to a lot of classic rock and kayōkyoku, which may have broadened my tastes. At RAG MUSIC, I mainly cover K-POP. I focus on reviews that emphasize feelings people can relate to, and on editing aligned with local pride and hit potential. Thank you!

Marilyn Manson is a rock band known for its heavy, near-heavy-metal sound and dark aesthetic.

Formed in 1989, they later changed the band’s name to match that of the vocalist, Marilyn Manson.

From the late 1990s, they began ranking high on music charts and soon became known to music fans around the world.

They have many classic albums, but a good place to start would be their best-of compilation, Lest We Forget: The Best Of.
