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.

Break through

This word means breaking through difficulties and obstacles, or finding a breakthrough.

Rather than being used by a strong team, it can be motivating when used by a team that doesn’t feel confident about an easy win, helping them stay determined and not give up until the end.

Seeking a breakthrough to push past one’s limits is a very positive and uplifting action for a person, and the joy when you succeed is all the greater.

So making this word our slogan could help every member unite as one and face the sports festival together.

Challenger

People who keep taking on challenges are cool at any age, but we especially want young people to keep challenging themselves.

Here’s a slogan that’s perfect for such youth.

It’s also a great choice even if you think your team might not be very strong.

After all, the act of challenging itself is what’s truly beautiful.

And it seems like a phrase you could use not only for a sports festival, but as a life slogan as well.

Using just a single word can actually feel bold and cool, too.

Definitely consider adding it to your options.

Take your Chance

On the day of the sports festival, all you can do is trust in everything you’ve built up and go for it.

This simple phrase captures the idea of giving it your all and having the courage to take on a challenge.

The key point is that “a chance” conveys only a slim possibility.

By aiming to seize that slight chance, it implies “taking the plunge” or “risking it all.” Compared to “seize the chance,” it carries a stronger nuance of challenge, emphasizing determination and a rising sense of excitement.

Take your fun where you can find it

At a sports day event, striving toward victory is important, but so are feeling fulfilled and having fun.

If you value the spirit of enjoyment and approach the competitions in a relaxed state, it might even lead to victory.

This is a phrase that highlights the mindset of enjoying such events and expresses a positive emotion.

It carries the meaning of “enjoy it while you can,” and suggests switching your mindset to suit the situation.

It’s a bright, uplifting expression that encourages you to face the event with a forward-looking attitude and boosts your positive feelings.

Step by Step

To reach a goal, it’s important to build up small efforts over time.

This phrase acknowledges those accumulated small efforts and conveys a steady march toward a big objective.

From the idea of stacking small things to aim for something larger, it also evokes an image of mutual support and collaboration within a team.

By emphasizing each small step, it’s a phrase that can boost a positive feeling—one that makes you feel the team has your back in whatever form that support takes.
