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!”

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

Hokusai Katsushika’s Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji, known as one of the masterworks of ukiyo-e, can create a powerful impact as a team flag design thanks to its dynamism and intensity.

A Japanese-style design incorporating Mount Fuji—the foremost symbol for Japanese people—is sure to boost teammates’ spirits at sports days and athletic festivals.

Since the flag features waves, it might also resemble a traditional “tairyō-bata” (big-catch flag), but in the sense of achieving many victories, that concept is actually a good fit.

Because it’s a design everyone recognizes, if you decide to produce it, you’ll want to pay close attention to the fine details.

Daruma

The daruma is an ornament said to be modeled after the seated meditation posture of the monk Bodhidharma, who brought Buddhism from India to China.

It’s also designed to right itself when knocked over, reinforcing its strong image as a symbol of perseverance.

In addition, because people draw in its eyes upon achieving a goal, it’s a classic good-luck charm for pursuing one’s objectives.

With its distinctive round shape, uplifting red color, and its use in wishing for goal fulfillment, it makes a perfect motif for a sports festival as well.

carp streamer

The majestic sight of carp streamers fluttering in the wind is captivating, and they might be perfect as a flag design as well.

As the phrases “a carp climbing the waterfall” and “the Dragon Gate” suggest, carp symbolize vigor and success, making them an ideal motif for competition.

Plus, because we’ve been familiar with them since childhood, they can give a team a sense of reassurance.

This is an auspicious, time-honored design we recommend when you want unstoppable momentum at events like sports days and athletic festivals.

armor

In the context of a team competition, the Sengoku period is perhaps the easiest to visualize, and armor—its symbolic icon—seems perfectly suited for a class flag design.

The imposing, rigid aesthetic is just the thing to maximize morale before heading into battle.

It’s a design that can make a powerful impact on opposing teams, but because it’s intricate and detailed, the more elaborate you make it, the more difficult it becomes to produce—so caution is needed.

That said, precisely for that reason, if you can achieve a high level of finish, it’s a design that will undoubtedly overwhelm the competition.
