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.

As long as autumn lasts, I won’t have enough hands, canvases, or colors to paint the beautiful things I see.Vincent van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh, the Dutch painter who, as a leading figure of Post-Impressionism, had a profound impact on 20th-century art.

The season of autumn, which led such a great artist to say, “As long as autumn lasts, I shall not have hands, canvas, and colors enough to paint the beautiful things I see,” has a charm that makes it feel all the more special.

The message—that one lacks the skill or tools to fully express its beauty—makes us once again appreciate the depth of the landscapes born in autumn.

It’s a quote that makes you want to look around more consciously when autumn comes.
