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!”

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

Pop-up card for Christmas night

A pop-up card for Christmas night that charms with the special evening atmosphere and its three-dimensional design.

Gather construction paper, colored pens, scissors, and glue to get started.

Make slits in the center of the construction paper and fold them into mountains to create a 3D effect.

By varying the depth of the cuts, you can adjust the height when it pops up.

Finally, attach the illustrations you drew on the paper to build up the three-dimensional look.

Adding elements like presents and stars may make it even more festive.

A Christmas card with a pop-up tree

This is a Christmas card inspired by the iconic tree shape, designed to convey a sense of fun.

First, create a structure by folding a sheet of construction paper so it opens like a card, then cut it into a tree shape while it’s folded and decorate the whole piece.

After that, open the card and write your message—the tree portion is then complete.

If you make it in a larger size, it can serve as a Christmas card on its own, or you can attach it to a decorated backing to create a pop-up book-style finish, which is also recommended.

A Christmas card that delivers presents

Let me introduce a card idea that delivers a gift to your loved one along with a message! The key point is the white paper attached to the base of the card.

It’s shaped like a rectangle with hands, and when you open the card, those hands spread out to both sides.

In the palms, there’s an illustration of a present.

It’s a simple mechanism where you accordion-fold the hand parts narrowly so they fold inside the card, making it easy to recreate!

A Christmas card that becomes three-dimensional when opened

This is an adorable, three-dimensional Christmas card that expands into a pop-up shape when you open it.

While keeping the edges connected, you make two slits in the card and create folds so that the sections above and below the slits alternate, which gives it a 3D finish.

The decorations you attach to the base are also important—be sure to place them so they don’t overlap the fold lines.

Because many parts are hidden when the card is closed, your sense of how to add messages and decorations is really put to the test.

Let’s make a lively, Christmas-themed card! After folding the construction paper in half for the card, make several slits perpendicular to the fold.

Fold the sections with slits into mountain folds to create pop-up bases, then attach the Christmas tree and gift pieces there.

Next, add the Santa Claus and fireplace pieces on the left and right, and brighten up the remaining space with illustrations.

If you’re not confident in drawing or illustrating, you could also collage with flake stickers.
