Hello LT community!
I am recently retired after having spent three decades working in and around the entertainment industry, both in Japan and Hollywood.
While I'm just getting into the translation of song lyrics from Japanese into English, I have been enjoying J-pop since the 70's, and got into K-pop starting with first gen artists in the 90's.
I am extremely grateful to the LT members who have put so much time and effort into uploading lyrics, translating, and otherwise sharing their expertise and insights. Though still a relative newbie here, I look forward to contributing my part in helping new audiences access and appreciate the wonderful music out there...
