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.

Making mistakes at work, love not going well… As we go through life, everyone experiences times when they can’t help feeling down or troubled.

If you’re looking for a straight-up hip-hop anthem, how about Jurassic 5? This track is packed with the joy of hip-hop.

Many people in Japan misunderstand hip-hop, but back then, Black people had no choice but to live joyfully and not run away even in tough times.

Kacey Musgraves’s new work, a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, brims with a charm that evokes deep empathy.

Set to be released on March 15, 2024, this title track from her forthcoming album symbolizes a return to her musical roots.

Its graceful vocals and poetic lyrics speak to the importance of prioritizing oneself and having the courage to embrace choices at life’s crossroads, resonating closely with listeners.

At the same time, it encourages the courage to let go of unnecessary people and habits in life.

It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone seeking personal growth or change.

Please enjoy this piece to your heart’s content as it heralds the beginning of a new chapter for Kacey.

How Soon Is NowThe Smiths

The Smiths – How Soon Is Now? (Official Music Video)

How Soon Is NowThe Smiths

When I was studying abroad in Canada, I once found a friend who was a fan of The Smiths.

My ears picked up the sound leaking from his earphones, and that’s how I realized it was The Smiths.

He was of British descent and liked The Smiths far more than the Beatles.

Luke Combs – Every Little Bit Helps (Audio)

Every Little Bit HelpsLuke Combs

Do you ever suddenly feel like listening to some old-school country? If so, I recommend the song “Every Little Bit Helps” by Luke Combs.

He sings about the sad things that have happened to him—lamenting them, yet with humor and a self-deprecating touch.

It’s a track that really captures the core of country music.

If you’ve found a song you like, be sure to read the translation and explore the singer’s personal side too!
