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

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