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.

[2026] Western Music Cat Songs: A Compilation of Classic Tracks About Cats (41–50)

Phenomenal CatThe Kinks

The Kinks – Phenomenal Cat (Official Audio)

Phenomenal CatThe Kinks

This work, which depicts a fantastical tale of a cat that flies through the sky, is a song created in 1968 by the British rock band The Kinks.

Included on the album The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society, it features a cat as the protagonist—one who, after traveling the world and discovering the secrets of life, settles into a lifestyle of endlessly eating atop a tree.

Alternating passages of Mellotron flute sounds and a processed cat voice—achieved by changing the recording speed—create a distinctive atmosphere reminiscent of a Victorian fairy tale.

It’s a recommended track for those weary of everyday life or looking to spark their imagination.
