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.

Music has the power to connect hearts beyond language barriers.

One form of expression drawing attention is sign-language singing.

Sign-language singing involves enjoying music while conveying the meaning of the lyrics through sign language, offering a wonderful way to discover new charms of music regardless of hearing ability.

In recent years, more artists have been incorporating sign language into their music videos.

In this article, we introduce songs that feature sign-language expression in official MVs, as well as classic Western hits interpreted through sign-language covers.

Why not discover a new way to enjoy music that broadens the musical world even further?
