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.

An opening theme for the anime Chainsaw Man that unfolds like a roller coaster with repeated key changes.

Released by Kenshi Yonezu in 2022, the song fuses lyrics that reflect protagonist Denji’s desires and inner turmoil with a driving rock sound.

The emotional state of yearning for happiness while being driven by destructive impulses is expressed through intense beats and elements of electronica.

Its achievement as a Japanese-language track certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America also drew attention.

For karaoke, be mindful of sections that leap suddenly from low notes to high tones, but it’s guaranteed to get the crowd going wherever anime fans gather.
