[Greetings] Career Transitions and an Announcement of a New Series: 'Music That Heals the Heart'

When your heart feels heavy, music can gently give you a push.
I am starting a series on that theme starting tonight. But first, a brief self-introduction.


When I post only about music,
I am sometimes surprised when people say, "Wait, you used to be a corporate employee?"

In my 20s, I worked at a foreign-owned IT company.
I was in charge of the localization of applications and accompanying documentation.
Translating from English to Japanese, and managing teams that handled multilingual expansion centered on English.

Translation, technical writing, and occasionally interpreting.
In the beginning, I wrote manuals for home appliances,
burned beta version CDs for user testing,
and verified various operating systems for interface localization...

In that way, while facing language, I was doing work that "conveyed" things in a different form than music.


But by the time I entered my 30s, I had made up my mind.
"If I change jobs next, I will place my focus on music, not the same industry."

At the last company I worked for, I passed on everything I had learned and could do before resigning.
Without regrets, I moved on to the next stage.

I am no longer involved in that industry,
but it is one of the important careers for me.


Before I knew it, 20 years had passed since then.
And what I realized after starting note was

"It seems I quite like writing."In university, while majoring in vocal music, I also took a musicology course where I explored a career in research and writing.

Also, through a connection with a senior from my high school days, I once helped translate a music history book.

While I cannot call myself an expert by accumulating such experiences,

I feel that "communicating with music as the axis" is a natural option for my life from here on out.
Recently, I have started hearing voices like this at the rehearsal studio too.


"I was looking something up and your article came up, Chie-san!"

I am very grateful for that.

That is why, starting tonight, I am launching



"Music That Heals the Heart"a classical music introduction series with that theme.When my heart felt tired in my daily life,

music gently stayed by my side.
I will write about those experiences along with my own personal stories.
