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!”

Apron dress you can make without sewing

This is a Santa apron dress you can make using only items from the 100-yen shop—and without any sewing! It’s perfect for people who aren’t good at sewing, feel clumsy, or want to create a budget-friendly Santa outfit.
