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.
POPS writer/editorKEI
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.

What kind of music do you think of when you hear “space”? If we limit ourselves to just the word “space,” the scope might feel narrow, but there are songs that capture it from many angles—like the moon and the stars.

This is a playlist packed with theme songs from TV anime and films that use space as a motif, as well as masterpieces that feature planets, stars, and the moon in their titles.

While researching, I was surprised to find that many space-themed songs are essentially love songs.

How romantic.

Please enjoy a generous selection of space songs that brim with dreams and hope, and overflow with love for that special someone!

Guiano – Song of Stardust [MV]

Song of StardustGuiano

It’s a piece marked by the enchanting sound of bagpipes.

Released in October 2024, it’s a work by Guiano—popular as a Vocaloid producer—sung in his own voice.

The lyrics contrast the vastness of the universe with one’s own existence.

They convey deep emotion about the complex feelings of growing up and the moments when you suddenly sense your connection to the world.

It’s the kind of song that might stay close to your heart when you find yourself looking up at the sky and reflecting on your life.

SMAP Beyond the Night Sky

Beyond the Night SkySMAP

Lyrics by Shikao Suga, SMAP’s “Yozora no Mukou.” Did you all know this song is even included in music textbooks? That sense of languor toward society, a kind of resigned loneliness, where have the young people consumed by emptiness gone… It’s a song in which SMAP delivers strongly message-driven lyrics in their own distinctive way.
