10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

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!”

Christmas? Yep, it’s the day you can legally eat cake, right?

Cake is one of those foods where you can’t help but worry about the calories, so it doesn’t feel like something you can eat every day.

This message expresses the idea that even a cake you’d normally hesitate to eat is something you can dive into at Christmas.

It conveys that cake is essential for Christmas and that on a day like this, you can enjoy it without any guilt.

It’s a lively, upbeat message that lifts the spirits of those who might be unsure whether they should indulge.

Merry Christmas! Your smile is the best decoration.

This message might not come across as off-putting when you send it.

A line like “Your smile makes me happier than the special Christmas atmosphere or decorations” would probably be appreciated by someone you’re relatively close to.

However, be careful, because sending it to someone you’ve only met a few times or don’t know well could turn them off.

It feels like the most important thing is the sense of distance and intuition you have with the person you’re sending it to.

It’s always important to pay attention to the other person.

Merry Christmas! Another cheerful solo party this year

Here’s a popular self-deprecating “lonely-at-Christmas” theme.

People even shortened it to “kuri-bocchi,” remember? How much self-deprecation is acceptable without just coming off as cringey depends on your personality.

If it’s someone you have a crush on or a kind friend, they might even invite you to go somewhere together.

If you follow it up with something like, “Work’s been so busy, looks like I’m solo again this year,” it could also hint that you’re competent at your job.

The key is striking the right balance so you don’t seem like you’re just fishing for attention.

Merry Christmas! Your laughter is the best soundtrack of the year.

Christmas is an event that makes many people feel happy, and when laughter overlaps, that happiness grows even more.

This message uses laughter as a kind of background music to convey, in a bright tone, that Christmas is a happy time.

While offering straightforward words to celebrate Christmas, it also expresses that you yourself are an important element that brings color to the holiday.

It shares a happy feeling that events become more exciting precisely because there are people who enjoy them.

For this year’s gift, is friendship okay? (Priceless)

Christmas tends to make us think gifts have to be expensive, but friendship is truly priceless, isn’t it? This message makes you feel grateful as it reminds you of the wonderful truth that so many people are helping you.

And the slight cheekiness of writing “priceless” yourself is, in a way, kind of cute.

It’s nice to be thankful for a relationship where you can continue to cherish this friendship—sometimes even more precious than a romantic partner.

It’s cold, but my hype is higher than the snow!

Even though winter has Christmas as an event, it’s cold and the days are short, so our spirits tend to dip.

Wouldn’t you feel a little happier if a super high-energy message arrived at a time like that? It’s the kind of message that shifts snowy landscapes into a brighter image.

People who sense that lifting their own mood makes others feel brighter might actually be very considerate.

Please keep making both others and yourself happy.
