Keyboard playerSAKI
I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

squid
octopus
crab

octopus

The summer solstice is roughly the time for rice planting. It seems to be associated with the wish that the seedlings will take firm root, like the suckers on an octopus’s legs. Also, octopus is considered good for recovery from fatigue and for preventing summer lethargy.

Which one has a dehumidifying effect?

aluminum foil
newspaper
receipt

See the answer

newspaper

Newspaper is made of paper, and its fine fibers easily absorb moisture, so placing it in shoes or in the corners of a room helps with dehumidifying. If you lightly crumple the newspaper and then spread it out, it seems to increase its absorption rate even more!

When do contrails indicate that it’s likely to rain?

lasts long
disappear soon
No contrails form.

See the answer

lasts long

When a contrail lingers in the sky for a long time, it’s a sign that the air is humid. High humidity makes it easier for clouds to form and increases the chance of rain, so if you see a long-lasting contrail, be mindful of possible rain. Conversely, if contrails don’t persist, the air aloft is dry, so you can expect fair weather.
