Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Google Pixel 9 Pro: Circle to Search Edition

In the commercials introducing features of Google’s smartphone Pixel, each spot showcases appealing highlights like Circle to Search, photo editing, the built-in AI Gemini, and even the foldable form factor.

You might think the very simple, beat-based background music is just a typical original track made for a commercial, but it’s actually a song called “Just Cool” by Nigerian artist Obongjayar.

The ads use a minimal section of the track, but the original version features more vocals and incorporates various sound effects, making it an engaging song that doesn’t get old.

Good Doggy

Good Doggy (feat. Impirio)Drewchowen

Here’s the track featuring the cool, memorable rap used in the Google AI PRO commercial with the dog.

Released in 2022, it was created by DrewChowen, an American artist who’s active not only as a musician but also as a producer.

The track, built with a variety of timbres, is striking and just listening to it makes your energy rise.

On top of that, two rappers—one male and one female—deliver their verses, and that refined yet pop-leaning vibe has probably stuck in many listeners’ heads after just one listen.
