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!”

Questions about the future (11–20)

How would you like to spend our anniversary?

For couples, anniversaries—like the day they got together or the proposal anniversary—are days filled with special memories.

That’s why it’s nice to put a little thought into how you spend them.

A quiet dinner at a restaurant or a cozy evening at home with homemade dishes can be lovely.

Taking a trip and sharing an out-of-the-ordinary experience also makes for unforgettable memories.

No matter the form, what matters most is the intention to spend time together.

That’s why it might be a good idea to ask each other in advance how you’d like to spend your anniversary!

How would you like to work after getting married?

Discussing how to work after marriage is a very important topic for couples.

Will one partner become a full-time homemaker, will both continue working, or will you aim for flexible arrangements like freelancing or working from home? As you talk about future finances, the balance with child-rearing, and your ideal lifestyle, you can learn about each other’s values and hopes for the future.

By sharing your thoughts while being attentive to your partner’s dreams and concerns, you can build a deeper sense of trust.

It’s an important conversation that conveys your direction for the future.

What is your ideal married life?

Every year, November 22 is celebrated as “Good Couple Day” in Japan, based on a wordplay with the date.

There’s even an official website for it.

Each year, one couple is chosen as the Partner of the Year, and for 2024, the comedian Masaru Hamaguchi and the TV personality Akina Minami were selected.

Of course, an “ideal couple” can mean many different things: some people want to stay lovey-dovey forever, some want to build their careers while maintaining their life together, and others are fine with a weekend marriage vibe.

It might be a good idea to talk about your ideal vision in advance.

Would you want to date me even if we were reborn?

If you’re thinking about the future of your relationship with your partner, this question is a perfect fit.

If your beloved partner asked, “If we were born again, would you date me?” how would you answer? Depending on your response, you might start wondering whether you should get married.

When asking, it’s best to do so gently, in a way that doesn’t feel pressuring.

No matter what answer you receive, it’s best to respond in the moment with kindness and respect, keeping your reply as natural as possible.
