Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. 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.

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

For everyone who just can’t get motivated, who’s stuck in their thoughts after a shock, or feeling down after making a mistake at work—we’ve put together a long list of “encouragement songs” to lift you up.

We’re introducing timeless, heart-touching classics—both new and old—to support all of you giving your best every day.

Watch the MVs while you listen, or pop in your earphones and let the music give you a solid boost!

Use these to recharge your heart and power up.

This distinctive group name is derived from the ‘Ikimono Committee,’ the only activity Mizuno and Yamashita had in common.

Although it was originally a tentative group name, it is said that it has remained unchanged because vocalist Yoshioka liked it when she joined.

It may seem like lyrics in which Gen Hoshino, who has battled illness twice due to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, is singing about himself, but in fact the song was written before he fell ill.

While the melody is pop, I think many people can relate to the bittersweet lyrics.

It’s a song that lets those who’ve felt frustration believe that tomorrow will be better.
