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.

In J-pop, love songs are timeless favorites across every era.

From tracks that evoke the sweet, bittersweet feelings of a first crush to songs that suggest a slightly dangerous kind of romance, these tunes resonate with listeners in all kinds of situations.

So this time, we’re introducing love songs by female artists that we recommend for the yutori generation.

They’re all classics, so we hope you’ll find a love song that suits you.
