This site is where I share my music playlists, plus whatever else is on my mind. But for the most part, you’ll just find my music playlists here.

What’s the story with the logo?

I took the first Kanji character for my last name, “naka”, and superimposed it in negative space on the letter “D”.
“D-nak” Get it? Ok, so maybe I’m prouder of the logo than I should be, but then again, I never claimed to be a designer.
