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.

Me & Mrs. JonesBilly Paul

A jazz melody so smooth and laid-back you’d never guess it’s about an affair.

It’s the kind of song you’d want to hear at a bar you wandered into, cocktail in hand.

Its charm also lies in the air of mature composure—nothing sneaky, just effortless poise.

Let Me Love YouNe-Yo

Ne-Yo – Let Me Love You (Until You Learn To Love Yourself)

Let Me Love YouNe-Yo

A classic love song by Ne-Yo, who combines powerful vocals with strong dance skills.

The lyrics brim with masculine resolve as he sings, “Let me love you,” unfazed even if the woman carries worries or anxieties.

In an age where more and more men are reserved, maybe this kind of assertiveness is just right.

Never Gonna Be AloneNickelback

Nickelback – Never Gonna Be Alone [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Never Gonna Be AloneNickelback

They are a rock band from Canada.

They’re popular in Japan, known for songs with beautiful melodies and moving, tear-jerking lyrics.

Recently, they’ve been shifting back toward loud rock.

They originally started as a loud rock band, but during the period when they were releasing many hits, most of their songs were pop.

Even so, their robust, hard-hitting sound is truly one of a kind.

It seems they got engaged to Avril Lavigne and held a wedding in the south of France on July 1 the following year, but they apparently split in 2015.

They also appeared on the TV show Mezamashi TV, marking their debut in mainstream households.

Wish You Were HereAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – Wish You Were Here (Official Video)

Wish You Were HereAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne, a singer-songwriter whose punkish style is hugely popular.

Even among Japanese singer-songwriters, many have been influenced by her.

The song being introduced here is Wish You Were Here, released in 2011.

It’s a track that pours out the aching feeling of “I wish you were here.” Even a usually strong girl can’t keep up that front in front of the man she loves.

This heartbreak song captures the pain of realizing that a love with someone so important has ended and that they can no longer be by her side.
