Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Love! Snow! Genuine MagicMitchie M feat.Hatsune Miku

[SNOW MIKU Official Song] Love! Snow! Serious Magic feat. Hatsune Miku [Mitchie M]

Love! Snow! Genuine MagicMitchie M feat.Hatsune Miku

Mitchie M’s ninth song.

It’s a perfect Christmas song for middle schoolers—when someone sings it, everyone smiles.

In the title “Suki! Yuki! Honki Magic,” the word written as “honki” is actually read differently, making a rhyme with the following “magic.” The lyrics say, “It doesn’t matter if you’re a kid or an adult—at Christmas that stuff doesn’t count, but if possible, I wish we could stay kids forever,” and it works whether a boy or a girl sings it.

There’s a rapid-fire English rap in the latter half that’s very Vocaloid-like, so try practicing it on the sly and surprise everyone!
