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.

Stuck with UAriana Grande & Justin Bieber

Ariana Grande is a singer-songwriter with idol-like looks who enjoys worldwide popularity.

Known for her very high vocal range, she’s often compared to Mariah Carey, and she’s also someone who has overcome many hardships.

“Stuck with U,” her collaboration with Justin Bieber, was released as a charity song dedicated to the children of first responders fighting the coronavirus.

Although the song has a relaxed tempo, the vocal lines are extremely catchy, so I think it’ll still get people excited.
