I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION「REACHING FOR THE SKY」

REACHING FOR THE SKYMAN WITH A MISSION

MAN WITH A MISSION is a rock band that continues to attract fans with their sharp sound.

They’re a mid-career rock band, but since they’re still active on the front lines, many teenage boys are probably familiar with them.

Among their songs, the one I particularly recommend is REACHING FOR THE SKY.

Although it features an exhilarating melody, it surprisingly has a narrow vocal range; aside from the sustained long note at the end of the chorus, there aren’t even any mid-to-high notes.

The vocal line works fine even when sung roughly, making it a perfect pick for teenage boys whose voices may still be unstable.
