I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

[Easy Craft] How to Make a Sensory Bottle

sensory bottle

A sensory bottle where the decorations inside gently sway is beautiful.

How about making a lovely sensory bottle with spring-themed decorations? Besides the decorations, you’ll need a clear bottle, liquid laundry starch or glue, water, and tape to seal the bottle cap.

First, put the decorations into the bottle.

To give it a spring feel, we recommend adding artificial cherry blossoms or petals, as well as pink cellophane or beads.

After adding the decorations, pour in the laundry starch (or glue) and water, then tape the cap so nothing leaks out—and you’re done! You could also use markers or paint to tint the water slightly.

For those who want to make something for everyday use, coasters are a great option.

Coasters come in various materials like cork and plastic, but this time I’ll introduce an idea using clay.

First, make a mold using something like a toilet paper roll, and use it to cut out the clay.

Then bake it and attach it to a round backing to finish.

How about making cherry blossom petals and combining them at the end? Be sure to choose oven-bake clay.

The main items you’ll need are a balloon, shoji paper, glue, and a brush.

First, inflate the balloon, then use thinned glue to attach pieces of shoji paper to it.

Tear the shoji paper into suitably sized pieces beforehand.

Repeat this until it has some thickness, then attach decorations made from thick paper to finish.

Small and cute! How to make a cherry blossom wall decoration (wall decor) – DIY How to Make Paper Cherry Blossom Wall Decoration

Wall decoration

Let’s create a wall decoration that can transform the look of your room.

A wall decoration is a general term for interior items that are displayed on walls.

There are various types, such as those you stick on or hang.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is a wall decoration that gently sways.

First, arrange strings hanging down from a single rod, and attach paper-made motifs to them.

When the wind blows, they sway and create an elegant movement.

Dandelion paper wall decoration

How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Hanging (Spring Wall Decoration) – How to Make Paper Dandelion Wall Decor

Dandelion paper wall decoration

Here’s an introduction to a wall decoration inspired by dandelions that gives a lively impression with its bright yellow color.

Cut yellow paper into long, narrow strips and make fine slits along them.

Do the same with green paper, then combine the yellow and green strips, roll them together, and spread out the slit sections to shape them into dandelion flowers.

Cut green paper to create dandelion-shaped leaves as well.

Make as many flowers and leaves as you like.

Next, use six wooden stir sticks to form a shape like the kanji for “rice field” (a square grid) with the ends slightly protruding.

Attach the dandelion leaves and flowers to this frame, and you’re done! Hang it on a wall or door to welcome the arrival of spring.
