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.

Holiday style just got magical

I’ve Told Every Little StarLinda Scott

I’ve Told Every Little Star (Remastered)

I've Told Every Little StarLinda Scott

“I’ve Told Every Little Star,” known in Japan under the title “Hoshi ni Katareba,” is a song famous as background music on the variety show “Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai.” An arranged version was used as the CM song for H&M’s Fall/Winter 2022 holiday campaign.

The original was composed for the 1932 musical film “Music in the Air,” and the version sung by Linda Scott in 1961 has been loved worldwide.

The scatted intro alone can feel a bit mysterious, but it’s actually a song about budding romance.

The charming lyrics—wondering why two people who love each other can’t say so—leave a strong impression.

Its distinctive floating sensation also resonates with the wintry exhilaration you feel in a commercial.
