During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

[Super Easy Vanishing Coin Magic Explained] No difficult techniques needed; you can do it right away.

Coin vanish magic with a glass

I’ll introduce a glass-and-coin vanish magic trick that anyone can learn quickly.

You’ll need an empty glass, a glass filled with water, and a 1-yen coin.

Any similar-sized coin will also work, but something close in size is preferable.

First, place the coin on the table and set the empty glass over it.

Next, pour water into the glass that’s over the coin.

The coin will become invisible due to light refraction.

However, it can still be seen from directly above, so cover the top with your hand or otherwise conceal it.
