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.

[MV] Black Christmas / After the Rain [Soraru × Mafumafu]

Black ChristmasAfter the Rain [soraru×mafumafu]

After the Rain, one of the most popular vocalist duos, is a unit formed by Soraru and Mafumafu.

Their song “Black Christmas” is a Christmas tune with a somewhat dark atmosphere.

It has a unique charm that sets it apart from the many happy Christmas songs out there.

With semitone-moving melodic lines that make pitching tricky and a relatively high vocal range, it might be a bit challenging.

Definitely give it a try and sing it at karaoke!
