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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: 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!”

Love Every Moment

As a slogan that evokes youth, “Love Every Moment” is a great choice.

It means something like “Let’s love every moment.” How about using it to express the idea of embracing not only the fun times of the school festival but also the challenging ones? Adding a subtitle like “To You in Your Youth” would be stylish, too! The definition of “love” varies from person to person.

Just as the meaning of “love” differs, it might be nice to use this slogan with the intention that students, teachers, and visitors alike share their feelings and spend time enjoying moments they can truly love.

Step to the future

“Step to the future,” also known as Mitsubishi Motors’ slogan, means “a step toward the future” and is a perfect phrase for students who want to use the school festival as a springboard into a new future.

Some students may find that their festival projects are connected to their future dreams.

Even if not, the time spent working together as a class or grade will surely become a powerful force for the future.

This slogan also conveys to visitors the message that this is a school festival where students look ahead to the future and strive with a positive attitude.

The distant guest returns.

[LIVE] This year’s “Creative Four-Character Idiom” is “Enkyaku Sairai” (“Distant Guests Return”)! Four kanji that capture this year’s social mood – December 21

The distant guest returns.

“Enkyaku sairai” is a play on the four-character idiom “senkyaku banrai,” which means prosperous business with a constant stream of customers.

Coined with the hope that overseas visitors will return as the global COVID-19 pandemic, which stirred the world from 2020, settles down, it was selected as the grand prize winner in Sumitomo Life’s “Creative Four-Character Idioms” contest.

It conveys a desire to revitalize school cultural festivals—many of which had been scaled down—and to bring back their excitement.

It’s a slogan that reflects our times, carrying the wish to hold events in their original form once again.
