Cojicoji’s famous quotes: words that make you chuckle and gently lighten your heart

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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Cojicoji’s quotes: words that make you chuckle and gently lighten your heart (21–30)

Kettle-kun is wonderful just the way Kettle-kun is. There’s no such thing as a useless existence.NEW!Teruko

Many people probably get trapped in the mindset that they have no worth as “Mr.

Kettle” unless they can boil the same flavor every time.

But the words expressing the lovely idea that “Mr.

Kettle is wonderful just as he is” help you relax and ease your shoulders, don’t they? Conversely, even if you push yourself thinking you’re no good as you are, you might not be able to bring out your true ability.

There’s also a famous quote that says they like focusing on how Mr.

Kettle’s tea is different each time, and there are many aspects of Mr.

Kettle that really make you think, aren’t there?

No matter what clothes someone wears, the person themselves doesn’t change.NEW!Pero-chan

This quote aims to convey a truth about appearances.

While looks certainly matter, focusing only on them can lead you to filter people out before you get to know what’s inside.

And even if you polish your appearance, it will quickly become clear if there isn’t much substance beneath.

Perhaps Coji-Coji is teaching us the courage to cultivate our inner selves and the importance of doing so.

One of its charms is that it isn’t just a heartwarming story—it offers plenty to sink your teeth into.

Me too, Jiro… Jiro the half-fish bird… I’ve always, always been nothing… just myself…NEW!Jiro

As we go through life, we tend to feel that we have to work hard to accomplish something or become somebody.

But these words make us wonder whether there is anything more precious than simply being ourselves.

From the most negative perspective, it’s just that you are nothing but yourself; from a positive one, it may be interpreted as: merely continuing to be yourself is wonderful.

In any case, these are words I’d like those who feel pressured to become something to take to heart.

Buhibuhi and Suzy help make good possible by taking the side of evil—without people like them, good wouldn’t exist.NEW!Jiro

Among the characters, Buhibuhi and Suzy are seen as villains.

Rather than simply criticizing them as bad and unforgivable, Jiro’s objective way of evaluating them offers a fascinating perspective.

The idea that, like light and shadow or yin and yang, the other side is also indispensable feels like a wonderful mindset that embraces the existence of all things.

It even conveys something close to respect for the villains, creating a very intriguing structure.

Why not try looking at the things you can’t accept from a different point of view as well?

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.

For example, before school exams, it’s important for friends to teach each other and encourage a friend who is going through a difficult time.

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.
