Born in Tokyo, Scorpio type A. Started freelance activities in 1996. Although my main focus is on music, I am interested in covering a wide range of topics, from people in the city to culture in general, regardless of genre. I am usually at home, live concerts, art exhibitions, or bookstores. I am also active in X and Instagram. I'm mainly into music, but I'm also into art, cooking, sneakers, flea markets, literature, J-League, Premier League, motorsports, bicycles, Miffy, Moomin, cats, starry skies, Buddhist statues, ukuleles, etc. If there is a job offer, I'll probably not refuse.
