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!

[Official] Dororon Enma-kun Night 1: "Those Who Came From Hell" <1970s Anime>

Dororon Enma-kun Chinatsu Nakayama

The theme song of the TV anime Dororon Enma-kun, based on the original work by Go Nagai and Dynamic Pro, which aired on the Fuji TV network from 1973 to 1974.

The music was composed by Asei Kobayashi, and the vocals are by Chinatsu Nakayama, who also wrote the lyrics.

Her intimate, conversational singing, together with the highly overtone-processed chorus and sitar-like timbres, evokes a spooky world of yokai.

Yattodetaman • Boogie-Woogie • Lady Hiromitsu Suzuki

The ending theme of Yattodetaman, the fifth installment in the popular Time Bokan anime series.

Its light, rock ’n’ roll-style sound was composed by Masayuki Yamamoto, who handles the series’ theme songs.

The vocals are by Hiromitsu Suzuki—former lead singer of the legendary rock band The Mops and an active actor at the time.

His laid-back, deadpan singing voice is especially appealing.
