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!”

Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans

Rock-paper-scissors showdown with Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans! Who has to eat the vomit and booger flavors?!

Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans

These sweets from the Harry Potter film series are also a classic souvenir at Universal Studios Japan.

They drew attention because the list includes names that are clearly not food.

You can usually guess the “bad” flavors to some extent from the appearance of the beans, so pick those out and have someone try them as a forfeit.

You can steel yourself and choose a bad flavor on your own, or add some excitement by having someone else pick what you’ll eat—either way, it’s sure to liven things up.

Do you have any secrets? Surely everyone has at least one secret they’ve never told anyone.

As a penalty game, the loser has to reveal their secret.

We should prepare a few, ranging from light to deep, just in case.

Compliment Game

Praise them! [Planning & Game Design]

Compliment Game

This is a game where you shout your strengths at the top of your lungs.

The key is to say strengths that are as specific as possible! It looks easy, but it’s actually a pretty embarrassing game.

Also, if there are multiple people who have to take the penalty, making it a rule to shout each other’s strengths will make it even more exciting.
