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 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!”

NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE

Music lovers, and even those who aren’t, have probably seen the famous catchphrase “NO MUSIC, NO LIFE.” The phrase means “I can’t live without music.” It’s stylish to take that well-known catchphrase and arrange it into a “NO ~, NO ~” slogan for your school festival! A school festival strengthens your bond with classmates and becomes a lifelong memory.

To color that youthful chapter, “NO FESTIVAL, NO LIFE” is highly recommended!

One for all, all for one

Due to rugby’s growing popularity in recent years, we’ve been hearing “One for all, all for one” more often.

It’s a phrase frequently used to rally teams, especially in group sports, and its message—“One is for all, and all are for one”—also connects well with school festivals.

There’s also a view that the “all for one” part doesn’t mean “everyone for one person,” but rather “everyone for one goal.” Either way, it’s a mindset that’s vital for making any event a success.

Even though it’s an English slogan, its meaning resonates with everyone—so give it a try.

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.

in The Future

It’s a slogan that evokes what can be gained through the school festival and the shape of the future that follows.

It uses words that express “in the future” or “going forward,” and it also conveys a determination to move ahead.

It seems likely to inspire not only each person’s ideal vision of what they want the festival to be, but also their imagination about the future beyond it.

As this phrase suggests, envisioning the future may lead not only to the success of the festival, but also to each person’s own future.

Relentless challenge

“Relentless Challenge” is the phrase that puts into words our determination to keep pushing ourselves for the school festival.

During preparations, we may face difficult situations, clash with teammates, or run into obstacles that stand in the way of our goal.

Even so, to achieve our shared aim of making the festival day the best it can be, it’s important not to give up—keep researching what we don’t know and continue taking on challenges.

As words that spur us on toward our goal, why not make this our slogan?

Bonds of Friends and Companions

When it comes to school festivals, one of the charms is how working on something with friends deepens your bonds, and how you can make new friends in unexpected moments.

Some people may also see the festival as a place to nurture friendships through performances and activities.

With that in mind, I’d like to suggest slogans that incorporate the kanji for “companions” (仲間) or “bonds” (絆).

For example: “Friends—The Bonds of Companions” or “Friendship Forever.” Everyone has their own preferences, so take your time discussing and deciding together.
