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.

Among their releases, this is a mellow love song that came out on November 8, 2019.

The lyrics feel true-to-life and even include the word “SAKE,” referring to Japanese rice wine.

Like I’m Gonna Lose You (feat. John Legend)Meghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor – Like I’m Gonna Lose You (Official Video) ft. John Legend

Like I'm Gonna Lose You (feat. John Legend)Meghan Trainor

This is a work by American artist Meghan Trainor, known for her unpretentious simplicity.

While she’s often associated with upbeat, fun tracks, this song is a different, soulful ballad.

In a world like today’s, where anything can happen at any time, loving someone is difficult, and this track expresses the challenges of that love.

Literally, the title means “to love you as if I might lose you,” but the idea is more like not wasting a single moment with someone precious.

Built around an acoustic sound, it’s a piece you’ll want to savor slowly, with a touch of nostalgia.

The melodic depth is lovely as well.

The cover art is so stylish you can’t help but stare.
