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.

Until Joe Hisaishi’s music was adopted, this soulful classic was used as the theme song for the Hakone Ekiden.

I was honestly surprised that such a cool, mellow track was used, but for those who have been watching the Ekiden for years, doesn’t this song leave a stronger impression?

In 2017, McGehee returned to Japanese professional baseball after four years, joining the Yomiuri Giants.

The song he chose as his walk-up music is this one.

Although the title “Money and Fame” sounds intense, the song’s message is actually about not being consumed by money and fame.
