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.

Travel with Jackson Wang | Horizons Never End | LOUIS VUITTON

The Louis Vuitton commercial “Jackson Wang for Louis Vuitton,” featuring K-pop idol Jackson Wang, uses the iconic song “Heroes” by the great British artist David Bowie.

However, it only uses the intro, not Bowie’s vocal part.

The way the song feels changes when only the intro is excerpted for a commercial—this is one of the interesting aspects of CM production.
