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 opens with a woman driving a car with an extremely tense expression.

At the end of the commercial, it’s revealed that the thing chasing her was a giant dragon.

It’s a fun ad that keeps you entertained right to the end.

The background music is “KA-POW” by Kane Cult.
