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!”

Slogans are an essential part of any school festival, aren’t they?

Each year, you probably put forward a slogan to express what kind of festival you want it to be, but deciding on the right words can be quite hard.

Among all the ideas, I’m sure many members of the planning committee are thinking, “If we’re doing this, let’s make the slogan stylish and cool!”

So in this article, we’ll introduce stylish slogan ideas.

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.
