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!

This song was chosen as the ending theme for the Showa-era hit anime Urusei Yatsura, which was revived in the Reiwa era.

The vocalist is KAF, a virtual singer who’s drawing attention and a resident of MAISONdes, a fictional six-tatami apartment where young artists create miraculous collaborations.

The lyrics and composition are by Tsumiki.

The lyrics, packed with the heroine’s mischievous charm, are a perfect match for the vocals that blend cuteness with sexiness.

Paradise Has No BorderTokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra "Paradise Has No Border" (Live Ver. – Guest: Sakana-kun)

Paradise Has No Border Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra

This song, familiar from the Hyoketsu commercials, became a hot topic when Sakana-kun and Ken Shimura tried their hand at instruments.

Listening to it makes you want to drink an ice-cold alcoholic beverage.

I think it would also work well as background music for a toast.

While proper instruments are great, why not try the well-known phrases on a melodica or recorder?
