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’s a certain mysterious charm in the music that colors anime stories, isn’t there? The anisongs that play during TV anime openings and endings are vital elements that express each work’s worldview, leaving a deep impression on our hearts.
