Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

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!”

Sakura, Bloom!arashi

Sakura, Bloom!

Sakura, Bloom!arashi

A spring song from the national idol group Arashi.

It was released in 2005, but it still sounds fresh today, and it’s a top recommendation I’d love people who don’t know it to hear! It has that youthful, mischievous Arashi vibe that’s so fun it makes you want to sing it at karaoke.

It also carries the wish of “sakura saku” (a phrase meaning to pass an exam), so I think it really resonates with students.

It’s a popular “sakura song” that ranks every year, a classic you’ll want to listen to in all sorts of moments where cherry blossoms are around.
