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!”

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Be the best

Everyone has their own abilities.

But the types and the levels of those abilities differ, don’t they? So why not adopt the slogan “Be the best,” meaning “Aim for the best,” so that everyone can unite and strive for the top? If each person does their best and fights for victory, winning the championship may no longer be just a dream.

Make the most of each person’s strengths and individuality, and create fun, unforgettable memories at your school events.

Be fearless,Be limitless

A never-give-up mindset is crucial for victory; when you start thinking about the possibility of losing, fear takes hold.

To overcome that fear of defeat and fuel the drive to push forward, the phrase “Be fearless, Be limitless,” meaning “Don’t be afraid—go beyond your limits,” offers powerful support.

It emphasizes the importance of boldly moving ahead, conveying that such a stance becomes the very force that lets you surpass your limits.

While these words can rally your teammates, they also carry a sense of trust that they truly can break through their own boundaries.

Do it to win

To achieve big victories as a team, it’s important to build up small wins.

The phrase “Do it to win,” meaning “do it in order to win,” is a motto that heightens our collective resolve to actively seize those wins.

It conveys a determination to charge straight toward victory, and adopting it as a team slogan clearly communicates the strength of that commitment.

By strongly emphasizing that the goal is to win, it can also serve to put pressure on our opponents.

Do your best

Because the same moment will never come twice, it deserves to be our slogan! Here are some ideas for “Do your best.” Some people may feel like every day is the same, but the exact same moment never comes again.

That’s true for sports days and athletic festivals too.

That’s why the slogan “Do your best” fits perfectly! It means “put forth your best effort.” If you give your very best in this moment—right now—you might just seize victory.

Fight on

To seize results, it’s important to keep fighting without giving up, and each person’s inner strength is put to the test.

The phrase that rallies a heart on the verge of breaking and strengthens the will not to quit is “Fight on,” which means “keep fighting.” Because “fight” is a word used in many situations, its meaning sinks in naturally and connects with our feelings.

And since it’s a short phrase, it seems easy to repeat to yourself or use to call out to your teammates.

Never back down

A slogan that shines when you’re in a pinch! Here are some ideas for “Never back down.” Some schools don’t just set a slogan—they even use it like a rallying cry in their cheers.

“Never back down” means “don’t ever give up.” Of course it’s great when you’re winning, but it’s even better to remember the “Never back down” slogan and encourage each other when you’re on the back foot.

Even after the sports day or athletic festival is over, it’s a phrase that can keep motivating each and every person.
