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!

Pink Floyd is a legendary band known as one of the most globally recognized rock groups, credited as pioneers of progressive rock, for their record-breaking hits featuring numerous masterpieces that have gone down in music history, and for their overwhelming live performances with large-scale stage productions.

In recent years, they have drawn attention among younger music fans as well: the single “Hey, Hey, Rise Up!” was released to support humanitarian aid in response to the invasion of Ukraine, and the film “Have You Got It Yet? The Story of Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd,” focusing on Syd Barrett, an early member and central figure of the band, has been released.
