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.

From among popular Western songs perfect for wedding ceremonies and receptions, we present classic and popular tracks recommended by wedding staff who work at actual receptions.

Let’s create a wonderful soundscape that will remain a cherished memory for a lifetime.
