Keyboard playerSAKI
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!”

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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Cojicoji’s famous quotes. Words that make you chuckle and gently lighten your heart (11–20)

Try laughing your heart out—it might just make your heart feel a little lighter.Jiro

When everyday life gets stressful, sharing a lighthearted laugh with friends or watching a fun movie or TV show can soothe your heart and lift your spirits.

Even having lunch with someone you’re close to and laughing together can ease tension and boost your motivation for the work that follows.

There’s even scientific evidence that laughing triggers the release of endorphins, which brightens your mood.

Even small moments can lighten your emotional load if you laugh wholeheartedly, and they might help you approach things with a more positive mindset.

Is it embarrassing to get a zero? Why?Coji-Coji

Some of you may have felt embarrassed when you couldn’t achieve something.

For example, if you scored zero on a test, most people would worry about what others might think.

But even a zero is an experience—why not see it as a chance to learn for next time? Instead of feeling ashamed, it’s important to think about how you can do better next time.

This message tells us not to be bound by others’ evaluations, but to value our own growth.

We should aim to keep challenging ourselves without fear of failure.

These words remind us of the importance of prioritizing our health.

When you feel stressed, taking even a short break can help you refresh, reset your mindset, and approach problems from a new perspective.

It’s interesting because it’s a place I don’t know.Coji-Coji

When you go to a place for the first time, you feel nervous, but excited too, don’t you? These words convey the joy that the unknown holds.

Visiting familiar places is fun, but when you set foot in countries or regions you’ve never been to, you can encounter different cultures and connect with local people, leading to new discoveries and moving experiences.

The same goes for hobbies—when you try cooking dishes you don’t usually make, you get to enjoy new flavors.

In this way, by engaging with the unknown, you broaden your horizons and enrich your life.

If you face challenges without fear and keep accumulating new experiences, you might make your life even more enjoyable.

God is wandering around in my heart, so He isn’t wandering around here.Coji-Coji

When we feel stressed at work or in our relationships, some of us may find ourselves blaming those around us.

However, the real cause might be that our own values and goals aren’t clearly defined.

By looking inward, we can recognize the true issues, which may lead to relieving that stress.

Even troubles in relationships can sometimes reveal solutions if we reassess our own expectations and communication before dwelling on dissatisfaction with others.

Deepening our understanding of ourselves may lead to better relationships and a more fulfilling life.

When you feel stressed, try to remember these words.

I’ll always have your back—that’s what friendship is all about.Kettle-kun

These words convey that the essence of friendship is supporting one another.

Through this kind of cooperation, trust and bonds grow deeper.

In team sports as well, players aim for victory by supporting one another.

In this way, friendship is not just about sharing fun times; it may grow stronger by overcoming hardships together.

Working with your companions and mutually supporting each other is the key to nurturing true friendship.

Let’s believe in the power of friendship and cherish relationships where we always support one another.

We decide things for ourselves rather than doing what someone else says.Frog

Have you ever been swayed by others’ opinions when you were unsure about a choice? This phrase conveys the importance of deciding for yourself.

If you don’t prioritize what you want or what interests you, and instead choose a different path to meet others’ expectations, you might end up regretting it later.

If you make choices that respect your own feelings and wishes, you may be able to persevere even when things don’t go well, because it was your decision.

This phrase tells us that having the courage to choose for yourself and not being carried along by others’ opinions ultimately leads to a more fulfilling life.

It might be fair to say that what’s cool is living your life freely and carefree—without doing anything pointless and without bothering others.Dodes

Many people probably want to feel fulfilled both at work and in their private lives.

This message reminds us of the importance of living according to our own values.

For example, at work, by avoiding unnecessary overtime and focusing on what contributes to your growth, you can achieve results efficiently.

In your personal life, by not overextending yourself to meet others’ expectations and instead enjoying hobbies you truly like, you can maintain peace of mind.

In this way, cherishing your own life and living freely while still being considerate of others may be what leads to true “coolness.” By taking care of yourself, you’ll ultimately be able to build good relationships with those around you.

Everyone, at any time, is a living being with life— the same energy is flowing through us all.Mr. Earthworm

These words remind us that all living things possess life and are connected by a shared energy.

For example, in a forest, trees produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and animals breathe it to live.

In turn, animals enrich the soil and help plants grow.

Through these interactions, life circulates and sustains itself.

This way of thinking reminds us that every living being is precious and that we coexist as part of nature.

Perhaps compassion for others grows from that awareness.

Whether it’s useful or not is something someone will say later, right?Frog

Koji Koji's famous quote I want to throw out when I've mentally fallen into darkness

Whether it's useful or not is something someone will say later, right? Frog

These words remind us that the value of what we’re doing is sometimes recognized later.

For example, even if you join a volunteer activity and feel at the time that you didn’t contribute anything, you might be thanked by other participants afterward.

The same goes for starting a new hobby—It might not seem useful right away, but by sticking with it, you may later feel glad you kept at it.

Rather than getting impatient because results don’t appear immediately, it might be important to take action first.
