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.

Let's Get It OnMarvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye, known as a leading artist of neo-soul, led a life marked by scandal in his later years, perhaps due to the abuse he suffered growing up.

His death was also tragically ironic: after reconciling with his abusive father, he reportedly gave him a rifle as a gift, and Marvin was later shot and killed by his father with that very rifle.

A heartbreaking end, indeed.

“Let’s Get It On” is one of his signature works and became a worldwide hit.

Highly recommended if you enjoy love songs that express desire straightforwardly.
