Liven up Christmas! Popular party goods

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!”

Question Card

From the Magical Question Card Session 'Guuch'

Question Card

Do you know about the mysterious “Question Cards”? They aren’t just cards with questions written on them—each card features a single Chinese character (kanji) or an illustration.

By looking at the kanji or picture and answering the questions asked by the facilitator, your inner thoughts are revealed through your responses! These cards were created by Mihiro Matsuda, an author and professional questioner, and they’re only available to those who have taken a course on how to handle the cards and how to ask the questions.

Not only can you understand what’s in someone else’s heart, but you can also discover your own true feelings and feel refreshed! We recommend taking the course and having a mysterious experience this Christmas!

Pop-up Pirate

Pop-up Pirate

Pop-up Pirate lets you enjoy the thrill of never knowing when the black-bearded pirate will spring out of the barrel.

This high-tension game is sure to liven up any Christmas party! Players take turns sticking swords into the barrel holding the pirate, and the person who makes him pop up loses.

The trigger hole changes every time, so even a slot that was safe last round might launch him this time—that’s what makes it so fun.

There are many variations of Pop-up Pirate, and in 2020, the even more exciting and dynamic “Super Pop-up Pirate MAX5,” where five pirates shoot out at once, was released.
