Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

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.

Celebrities who are easy to impersonate: Popular and crowd-pleasing impressions (61–70)

Naotaro Moriyama

Buno Kubo – Sakura (Live in Imitation) – Impersonation: Naotaro Moriyama – “Sakura (Solo)”

Naotaro Moriyama

Singer Naotaro Moriyama is quite a character too, isn’t he? When it comes to impersonations, delivering the spoken lines can be pretty tough, and that might be where the bar feels high.

But if singing is your strong suit, he’s perfect.

His distinctive way of sustaining notes and his gestures while singing are very easy to imitate, and I think you could put on a show that’s fun to watch and listen to.
