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.

This commercial conveys how the AirPods 4’s Active Noise Cancellation supports you every day, whether you’re happy or feeling lonely.

It shifts through different worlds—like moving from a lonely, ice-bound world to a past recollection, and then unfolding into a colorful world.

The song playing during the dance scene in the latter, colorful world is “Perfect.” The collision-like sound effects leave a strong impression, and the structure—where these intense sounds gradually increase—clearly communicates the song’s build-up.

While the overall mood isn’t exactly bright, it’s a curious track that still feels lively thanks to the layering of various sounds.

This is a commercial for the N-BOX JOY, an SUV-flavored model confidently unveiled in 2024 to compete head-to-head within the kei tall wagon category.
