Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

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.

We’ve gathered a collection of classic songs packed with the aesthetics of manhood.

Across every genre—rock, pop, enka—you’ll find the way men live sung about in many forms.

Men may usually keep things inside, yet hold firm convictions; their willingness to take on challenges, or conversely, the strength to face their own vulnerabilities, also feels distinctly masculine.

A broad-minded generosity and single-minded devotion can be especially attractive from a woman’s perspective, too.

In this article, we introduce many timeless tracks that touch on the path of a man’s life and on love.

Every song is valiant and stirring.

Music by men that even men admire—let’s listen closely and take it all in!

I think men, generally speaking, tend to value camaraderie more than women do.

Memories of going out and playing together back in our hometown are somehow picturesque beyond words.

With women, even if they have close friends, the impression I get is more of enjoying lively conversations.

It’s quite an old song, but it’s a classic that many singers have covered and passed down.
