Who Should Apply

Japanese-speaking songwriters, lyricists, composers, performers, and music journalists who can back up a rating with a clear reason. The role suits someone who already listens across a wide spread of Japanese music and can spot a borrowed line or a flat phrase fast. Expect around 20 hours a week, with room to take on more.
