10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
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.

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!”

Thought-provoking, philosophical anime quotes (21–30)

You can’t truly feel regret unless you accept your defeat.Seishiro Nagi

@user2263325271008
#CapCutI cut corners, but this is my favorite Sei Shiro Nagi quote.
♪ Original song – Hanamakitaro – Hanamakitaro

Speaking of Seishiro Nagi, he’s a laid-back, loose, and seemingly unmotivated character.

The fact that he was called up to Blue Lock just six months after starting shows his high potential and real ability, but he never really seemed to be enjoying himself on the field.

However, after losing a match to the protagonist Isagi, he discovered how fun soccer can be.

This famous quote is something Nagi muttered to Barou, who was playing selfishly.

It shows just how significant that defeat was to someone like Nagi, who had never shown strong interest in anything, and how much it changed him.

Once words leave your mouth, you can’t take them back.Edogawa Conan

This is a line Conan says in the Detective Conan movie “Quarter of Silence.” Once words leave your mouth, they can never be erased.

Precisely because we live in an age where words can be hurled with a single tap, we must cherish the words we type with our hands and the words we release from our mouths.

Even if you say, “Forget what I just said,” the words you’ve thrown at someone won’t disappear.

That’s why it’s important to be mindful and take responsibility for the words we send out.

Conan’s words may be a valuable reminder in today’s world where social media is so prevalent.

The Cat Returns

Live your own time.Baron “The Cat Returns”

These are the words Baron spoke when the protagonist, Haru, had taken the form of a cat and was about to accept being a cat.

Living in your own time leads to living true to yourself.

Some people may get swept up by the currents of society and the opinions around them, and end up losing sight of who they are and how they want to live.

But your life belongs only to you.

If you ever feel like you’re losing yourself, remember these words and take a moment to think again about what kind of person you are and what kind of life you want to lead.

Porco Rosso

A pig that doesn’t fly is just a pig.Porco “Porco Rosso”

Some of you who have seen Porco Rosso may recognize this famous quote: “A pig who doesn’t fly is just a pig.” It’s a very memorable phrase.

These words are spoken by Porco Rosso, a man who was once a human pilot but, due to his own curse, took on the form of a pig.

The key point is that it says “doesn’t fly,” not “can’t fly.” It means that someone who has the ability to fly but chooses not to act is nothing more than a mere existence.

You can sense his resolve not to give up flying even after becoming a pig.

The Wind Rises

Being alive is wonderful, isn’t it?Nahoko

Here is the line Naho says when she reunites with Jiro and sees the beautiful rainbow.

In ordinary life, being alive is a given, but it must be when we are side by side with death that the importance and preciousness of being alive come into sharper focus.

No matter what era we live in, the sight of someone striving to live earnestly is truly noble, and if we think that in fact we are always being kept alive, these words may resonate even more deeply in our hearts.
