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.

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!”

This is the sixth single by Kishidan, a six-member rock band known for their major debut single “One Night Carnival” and their popularity stemming from a look reminiscent of 1980s delinquents paired with catchy pop songs.

I’ll sprinkle you with wine tonight.

I’ll sprinkle wine on you tonight.sawada kenji

It’s a slightly lonely song, but I think the tempo is upbeat and pop.

If everyone sings it together, it’ll be even more exciting.

This one might also be good for a party geared a bit more toward the mature crowd.

It might bring back those young feelings from our younger days.
