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.

On the day of the kids’ sports festival, it’s a busy morning getting everything ready, like making lunch boxes.

Even when you’re busy, you still want to show up as a cute, polished mom! To help with that, here are some easy, grown-up cute hairstyles that can make that wish come true.

Since it’s a sports day, we’ve picked mainly neat updos and styles that work well with a hat.

There are plenty of simple options even for those who aren’t good at hair styling, so give them a try.

You can use them for your everyday hair, too!

Twist it with a ribbon! Girly hair arrangement

If you like girly hairstyles, we recommend an arrangement that incorporates a ribbon! Place a ribbon where you would normally wear a headband and secure it with a clip so it doesn’t slip.

Twist the ribbon together with the hair in front of it on each side and bring it toward the back, then gently loosen it for texture.

Join the two twists at the back of your head, secure with pins, and tie the ribbon into a bow to complete a hairstyle that highlights the ribbon’s girly charm! Threading a ribbon through a braid also makes for an adorable look.

two-tier ponytail

Here’s how to make the ponytail that’s trending overseas!

two-tier ponytail

This is a two-tiered ponytail that looks airy, as if the base of the knot is lifted! Take a generous section of hair from above the temples and gather it like a half-up style.

Split the remaining lower hair in half, bring each side up over the first knot from left and right, and secure with an elastic—done in no time.

With a regular ponytail, you usually need to tease or curl and fluff to get this airy volume, but dividing it into two tiers recreates it easily.

Curl your hair before gathering for an even more stylish finish!
