Drawing on over 30 years of experience with guitars and bands since my high school days, I specialize in music-related articles and have handled many feature pieces to date. While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

Momoe Yamaguchi - Cosmos

cosmos (flower)NEW!Yamaguchi Momoe

A signature song by Showa-era star Momoe Yamaguchi.

Released in 1977, it is also known for having lyrics and music by Masashi Sada and sold about 500,000 copies.

The lyrics, which capture the wavering emotions of a daughter on the eve of her marriage toward her mother, set against warm everyday scenes, strike a deep chord.

Its quiet, lyrical worldview—so different from the tough, rebellious image of the time—surprised many listeners.

In later years, it was loved across generations, being used as the theme song for the film “Japan’s Shortest ‘Letter to Mother’” and as the approach melody at Keikyu Kurihama Station.

It’s a song that gently stays by your side when you want to step away from the bustle of daily life and reflect on family bonds and tender memories.
