Music writer / guitarist / Certified web writing practitionerHoshino Takashi
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.

Do not wield a fan in summer, do not stretch a cover against the rain, and do not be the same as the crowd.Zhuge Kongming

Even if you’re not a history buff, you’ve probably heard the name at least once: Zhuge Kongming, the famous Chinese statesman and genius strategist.

These are said to be his guiding principles as a military adviser.

The point is that one must not cool oneself alone just because it’s hot, nor use an umbrella alone just because it’s raining.

No matter how high one’s position, one should live the same way as one’s subordinates.
