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.

But here, you’ll surely find words that gently nudge you forward.

In this article, we introduce inspiring quotes from women who forged their own paths with unwavering will and conviction.

If you have a big goal but insist that this and that are all important, you’ll never achieve it.
