Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
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.

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

(Singing Impression 16) Toraji Haiji 'Fantastipo'

FantastipoToraji Haiji

This song expresses the feeling of moving forward while looking back on a wonderful youth, set to a 1970s disco sound.

Delivered by a duo of top idols teaming up, its retro, cheerful world becomes more uplifting the more you listen.

The distinctive dance is striking, and together with the catchy melody, it makes your body move before you know it.

Released in January 2005 as a movie theme song, it topped the Oricon weekly chart for two consecutive weeks.

It colors a story about brothers who are suddenly handed their father’s company, and with its disco-style strings and the timbre of a harpsichord, the performance vividly enriches that world.

As a tune to liven up any scene, it’s sure to help create wonderful memories.
