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!”

NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE

Music lovers and even those who aren’t into music have probably seen the famous catchphrase “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE,” which means “I can’t live without music.” How about adapting that well-known slogan into “NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE” for your school festival? A school festival strengthens class unity and becomes a lifelong memory.

This phrase is perfect for coloring a page of your youth! Of course, you can also swap out “FESTIVAL” for your festival’s name, your school’s name, or any other word you like.

Keep smiling

These are warm words filled with the idea of moving forward without forgetting to smile, no matter the situation.

While preparing for and during the actual cultural festival, you may face unexpected troubles, but if you don’t forget to smile, any moment can be turned into a joyful memory.

Supporting one another and fostering a positive atmosphere will be a source of strength for creating the best day together.

If you incorporate a theme of bright smiles into food stalls or stage performances, you can also convey a fun vibe to visitors.

Featuring suns, rainbows, or cheerful characters on posters and pamphlets will further highlight the positive mood.

Make you happy

These are positive words that express the power to bring smiles to those around us.

They convey the desire to delight everyone involved in the cultural festival—the visitors who come to see it and the teammates working hard together.

You can prepare presentations that entertain attendees, set up eye-catching booths, and craft special touches through thoughtful attention to detail.

Using colorful smiling illustrations or motifs of people holding hands on posters and pamphlets will help convey a warm atmosphere.

By genuinely enjoying ourselves and spreading happiness to those around us, this becomes a slogan that drives us to create a cultural festival that leaves a lasting impression on everyone.

Stay gold

These words convey the importance of valuing pure feelings and an unchanging heart.

Amid the busyness of preparing for and experiencing the school festival, they express the desire to hold on to the initial excitement and anticipation, and to carry that passion through to the very end.

This phrase also appears as an important lesson in American literature, The Outsiders, emphasizing the significance of not losing one’s youth and purity.

Incorporating designs that evoke a rising sun or shimmering light into posters and pamphlets will help communicate the message.

It’s a slogan that serves as a strong guiding principle for creating a special school festival—one that remembers its origins and believes in your own brilliance.

Don’t worry, Be happy

I think everyone feels anxious about whether their preparation and effort will truly shine and whether they’ll be able to grasp success.

It’s a feeling you might experience even on the day of the school festival.

This slogan gently accompanies that anxiety while giving a soft push toward a fun time.

With a positive message like “Don’t worry—let’s have fun,” it seems to ease tense hearts with a light, cheerful tone.

By putting forward words that gently stay by your side, it also evokes images of your friends and the bonds you share.
