Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

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.

The rule that a song becomes popular after being featured in a commercial hasn’t changed, past or present.

When a song is used in a well-received commercial and goes viral along with it—that’s a classic winning pattern.

With foreign songs, it can be hard to figure out the track when you don’t understand the lyrics—but we generally include both the actual commercial footage and the song’s music video, so it should be easy to check.

We update this article regularly with the latest information, so be sure to bookmark it!

This is a commercial that energetically promotes the idea that if you’re getting into Bitcoin, bitbank is the way to go.
