Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. 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!
Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Simple games are fun, but sometimes you want something that really makes you think! For you, we’re introducing recommended brain-training game apps.

We’ve gathered a wide range of classics like board games, card games, puzzles, and popular remixed games.

These apps include not only trending titles but also games perfect for filling short breaks.

As we get older, thinking things through can start to feel like a chore.

But with brain games, you can train your mind while having fun!

Brain Training App (1–10)

Polysphere

[Polysphere] I tried streaming a super addictive 3D puzzle app

Polysphere

Polysphere is a popular game that once ranked second among free mobile app games.

To put it simply, it’s like a puzzle, but with pieces arranged on a 3D shape.

Rotate it 360 degrees to find the angle where the pieces align.

When they line up correctly, animals or plants will appear.

If it’s difficult, there’s a help feature you can use, so give it a try.

Round Your Square Head: IQ Edition

[Make a Square Head Round 2] I Tried Training My IQ!

Round Your Square Head: IQ Edition

The app game “Rounding Off a Square Head: IQ Edition” presents a series of puzzles that can’t be solved with a square head, and you answer them in order.

It might resemble a word association game in some ways.

You imagine and deduce what the visible clues represent, so the sense of clarity when you solve one is a distinctive part of the experience.

It’s also funny that if you get it wrong, the game taunts you with, “Kacchi kacchi ya de” (meaning you’re stiff-headed).

You can even earn real money in the app, so once you start playing, it’s hard to stop.

It offers plenty of thrills, making it a great choice for adults!
