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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

[For Moms] Cute and Stylish Adult Hairstyles Recommended for Sports Day (11–20)

onion hair

Simple! Stylish! Cute! How to do onion hair! You can also master a ponytail at the same time☆

onion hair

You’ve probably often seen models with “onion hair” in magazines and thought it looked cute, right? It’s a super easy hairstyle that won’t fall apart even if you move around a bit.

First, tie your hair firmly into a single ponytail at the back, then gently pull out small sections here and there to give it a loose, relaxed look.

A few centimeters below the first tie, secure it again with a small silicone elastic, then tug the section slightly to round it out.

Repeat—another few centimeters down, tie, and puff it out.

The number of “onions” will vary depending on your hair length.

A secure, non-collapsing bun hairstyle

Super Easy: How to Make a Bun That Never Falls Apart! Pin-Free Hairdo Perfect for Sports ♪

A secure, non-collapsing bun hairstyle

A neat, sports day–perfect bun you can make with just hair ties! Use a thick hair tie to make a ponytail, then tie a thin elastic about four finger-widths down from the knot.

Split the section of hair between the two elastics in half, flip the ends from the outside to the inside to create a topsy tail, and gently loosen it.

Repeat the same steps a few times depending on your hair length, then wrap the end tightly around the base and secure with an elastic.

You’ll get a sturdy bun that won’t fall apart even when you’re moving around.

If you’ll be wearing a hat, place it lower; if you want a cleaner, sharper look, set it higher!
