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!

There are plenty of articles that introduce songs themed around the seasons or specific months, but this piece takes a slightly different approach by rounding up Western music that “became hits in February.”

Focusing on songs that charted in the U.

S.

K.

in February, it’s a perfect way to revisit the tracks that generated the most buzz during that month.

February is a time when many students are preparing for entrance exams or graduation, so it can be fun to look back and remember which songs were hits during that hectic period.

In the latter half, we also introduce songs themed around February, so you get a two-for-one treat—enjoy!
