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.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

Amid the layers of history, memorable quotes are born.

Often, the depths of those words carry the speaker’s feelings or even reflect their entire way of life.

Sometimes, words packed with hints—like the wisdom of our predecessors—can even save a life.

Precious words born from perspectives we can’t see ourselves, or from hard-won experience.

Among such wonderful sayings, I’ve picked out ones that are “simple” or just “a single phrase.”

Learning about the person behind the words and their origins will surely make you feel even more connected to them.

May they give you strength to live each day!

If you keep looking down, you won’t find a rainbow.Charles Chaplin

[Morning 3-Sentence English Diary] If you keep looking down, you won’t be able to find a rainbow (by Chaplin) (Vol.112) [Difficulty: ★★]

If you keep looking down, you won’t find a rainbow. — Charlie Chaplin

As you know, Charlie, the original king of comedy and a true man of cinema, left us with many famous sayings, such as “There is something as inevitable as death—that is life,” and “Imagination means nothing without doing.” Even while caught in the great whirlpool of war, Charlie never forgot to make people laugh.

If he were alive today, what words would he offer to a world struggling through the COVID-19 pandemic? His famous line beginning with “If you keep your head down…” seems to gently smile at us, as if to say, “It’s precisely when times are hard that we must lift our heads.”

One-line Quotes from Great Figures That Strike the Heart | A Collection of Words That Leave a Deep Impression (31–40)

We must win/earn every single step ahead of us.NEW!Florence Nightingale

This quote by Florence Nightingale teaches us the mindset needed to achieve our dreams and goals.

In a world full of temptations, it can be very difficult to keep putting in the effort.

We tend to think, “I can do it tomorrow,” or “Skipping a day is fine,” don’t we? However, if we can’t do the one task right in front of us, we’ll never reach our dreams or goals—because each and every one of those tasks matters.

Remember: to fulfill high ideals, we must devote ourselves to steady daily practice.
