Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

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!

BUMP OF CHICKEN "Have You Seen the Crimson Sky?"

Have you seen the crimson sky? — BUMP OF CHICKEN

When you think of autumn, many people probably picture a sky glowing crimson at sunset.

This song is a mid-tempo rock tune that irresistibly calls to mind just such an autumn evening sky, and it has a refreshing quality that feels perfect for the season.

Its greatest charm, above all, lies in the deeply evocative lyrics—so quintessentially BUMP—that hit you right in the heart.

By listening from start to finish, you can feel the meaning of the words even more.

It’s a masterpiece that moves you with its scenery and the bond between the two people in the lyrics, and gives you courage through the message of support woven into the song.
