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.

Battle ScarsLupe Fiasco & Guy Sebastian

Led by a lyrical piano phrase, this moving number weaves a soaring vocal melody with a cool, restrained rap.

The song was released in 2012 by Australian singer-songwriter Guy Sebastian featuring American rapper Lupe Fiasco, and became a hit not only in Australia but also in the United States.

This classic track is used as the entrance song by Mikuru Asakura, who is known as a mixed martial artist, YouTuber, and sports instructor.

Although the lyrics depict the painful emotions of a heartbroken protagonist through skillful metaphors, the beauty and melancholy that permeate the song may also serve to inspire a solitary fighter locked in a battle with himself.
