Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

When it comes to Japan’s national sport, baseball surely comes to mind.

Professional baseball is a given, but high school baseball is also incredibly popular, with many fans looking forward to it every year.

The WBC, which crowns the world’s best, brings huge excitement as well.

From songs that boost players’ morale to tracks that colored unforgettable dramas on the field, we’ve selected nothing but masterpieces—enjoy!

Bellini – Samba de Janeiro (videoclip)

SAMBA DE JANEIROBelini

Because it’s upbeat Latin-style dance music, it brings Brazil to mind, but it’s actually the debut single by the German band group Bellini, and it’s also very popular as a soccer cheer song.

The way the chants are shouted varies by school, so that’s something to enjoy as well.

Let It GoIdina Menzel

Disney’s Frozen “Let It Go” Sequence Performed by Idina Menzel

Let It GoIdina Menzel

A song used in the 2013 Disney animated film Frozen.

It sparked a social phenomenon at the time as “Let It Go,” with audiences singing along in theaters.

It plays during the scene where Elsa, who possesses magic so powerful she can’t suppress it by will, freely unleashes her powers.

In that sense—expressing the idea of releasing the power suppressed within oneself—it also fits perfectly as an anthem of encouragement.
