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.

I think this song is difficult for beginners, but if you give up from the start, you won’t be able to play any song.

If you raise the bar just a little, it will probably get easier later on.

Once you form a band, playing this kind of rock-style song will make it even more enjoyable.

More than just rock, this song is also recommended for practicing a band’s timing, choruses, and harmonies.

The guitar and drums aren’t that difficult, but working on this sense of timing will be extremely good practice.

It’s a bit difficult for beginners, but if you’re aiming to form a serious band someday, it’s a song that’s well worth practicing.

The strength of the chorus has a coolness that’s characteristic of Western bands.

If you’re not good at playing instruments and you’re a beginner, the most realistic option is to do covers of punk bands.

That’s because many punk songs are only about two minutes long.
