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 beautifully crafted song that captures the bittersweet feeling of being in love.

The distance between two people separated by a railroad crossing symbolically portrays both the challenges and the passion of romance.

Released in April 2023, the track made its debut on TBS’s popular show “CDTV Live! Live!” and won the hearts of many.

Choreography also features Sakura Inoue, who served as an assistant choreographer for Britney Spears, perfectly expressing the emotional world of the song.

It’s a wonderful piece to sing at karaoke, one that lets you empathize with those in love.

Band Ja Naimon! / Chocolat Love (Reincarnation Ver.)

It's not the Chocolat Love Band!

This song’s charm lies in its quirky lyrics.

Among Banmon! tracks, it’s on the more relaxed side.

The lyrics are unusual yet somehow bittersweet—sing them gently and with feeling.

If you sing the repeated chorus parts in a cute way, it might even catch the attention of the boy you like.
