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!”

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.

Refuse to lose

It expresses not only a stance of not yielding to an opponent, but also of not yielding to oneself, clearly communicating inner strength.

It’s a message you can direct at yourself, and it can also feel like a call for teammates not to give up.

United we win

Starting with relays, there are many events at school sports days—like cavalry battles, ball tosses, and tug-of-war—where the whole class has to unite and take on the challenge together.

Some classes probably discuss strategies as a team beforehand to figure out how to win.

“United we win” means “If we unite, we win.” Since teamwork is crucial in team competitions, why not adopt this slogan? If you come together as one, winning the championship won’t just be a dream.
