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 standard song – 3KTrack

This is a craft project where you line up plastic bottle caps to form a Christmas tree.

First, cut green origami paper and wrap the caps.

Then draw the tree trunk on a paper plate, and attach the green caps in a triangular tree shape to finish.

The most important thing is which colors you use to wrap the caps—aim for various patterns centered on green.

It might also be fun to intentionally make use of the original designs on the caps.

Clear and cute Christmas boots

This activity is about making decorations inspired by boots—an essential item that brings Christmas to life—using clear plastic folders.

First, cut the clear folder into the shape of a boot, then decorate it with masking tape, stickers, and other embellishments.

Next, outline it with construction paper to emphasize the boot shape, and add Christmas-themed decorations to finish.

Because there’s a high degree of freedom in how you decorate, take the time to be particular and express your originality.

It’s a project where you use stamps to create Christmas motifs—something that could work well for a Christmas card.

First, prepare templates of Christmas motifs and attach them to the base with masking tape.

Then stamp over the entire surface, including the attached templates.

When you peel off the templates, the unstamped motif areas will stand out.

Because the method is simple, be sure to pay close attention to how you stamp and to the balance of colors.

Yule log made from cardboard

Gourmet food is an important element that adds excitement to Christmas events, isn’t it? Let’s make a cardboard craft inspired by a bûche de Noël, one of the iconic symbols of the season.

The key is to peel off the surface layer of the cardboard and use the corrugated part to convincingly mimic wood.

It’s especially important to create a Christmas atmosphere through how you apply and combine paints, and by adding decorative pieces to complete the look.

Star-shaped Santa

This is a three-dimensional Santa Claus mascot in the shape of a star—perfect for Christmas.

Since you use the reverse side of the origami paper for the white area where the face is drawn, you can complete a 3D mascot using just a single sheet.

To achieve the three-dimensional star shape, it’s important to follow the folding steps carefully and make precise creases to serve as guides, which might be the tricky part.

The impression changes depending on the color of origami you choose, so it’s recommended to be particular about that as well.
