10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Effeminate / Golden Bomber – Music Video

Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā

Watch “Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent) Gōruden Bonbā” on YouTube

It’s a signature song by Golden Bomber, the well-known visual kei rock band.

Along with its catchy melody, the dance is easy to do, so I think it’s perfect for a school sports festival where everyone wants to get pumped up together.

Of course it works great as a dance track, but playing it during the events will definitely hype up the crowd as well.

Odoru-LoopFurederikku

When it comes to dance songs that are popular among young people for their unique routine of raising and lowering the arms to the beat, Frederic’s “Oddloop” comes to mind.

Its lyrics are intriguing, with subcultural elements that focus on people who aren’t actually dancing despite the dance theme.

However, the song itself isn’t dance music; it’s a rock track distinguished by Frederic’s signature percussive guitar cutting.

At school sports festivals, of course, everyone should come together and create a sense of unity with that memorable arm-lifting choreography.
