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.

Floyd Mayweather Jr., the boxer who achieved the incredible feat of winning titles in five weight classes without a single defeat.

He’s also well known for taking part in Japan’s RIZIN.

The entrance song for his fight against Tenshin Nasukawa made a big impact and became a hot topic among fans.

The title of that track is “Rack$.” The artist, King Koraun, is actually Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s son! By the way, the lyrics are extremely explicit and aggressive, which I think fits his fighting style perfectly.
