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!”

The cultural festival slogan is an important element that symbolizes that year’s festival.

In this article, we’ll introduce recommended slogan ideas.

Since these suggestions are geared toward high school students, we’ve included not only trendy ideas but also four-character idioms with beautiful meanings that you don’t hear every day, as well as longer English phrases.

Use this as a reference when choosing your slogan!

Someday I’ll remember this ___ festival, and I’m sure I’ll cry.

This slogan is based on the 2016 Monday 9 p.m.

drama “Someday, When I Recall This Love, I Will Surely Cry.” With a cast that included Kasumi Arimura and Kengo Kora among many other popular actors, many high school students may still remember it.

It’s a simple idea that plays on the drama’s title, but how about infusing it with the wish: “May this be such a wonderful school festival that, when we’re grown up and look back on it, we’ll be moved to tears.”

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Steve Jobs: Legendary Commencement Speech (Japanese Subtitles) at Stanford University [English Textbook] — Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple known for products like the iPhone and Mac, quoted the phrase “Stay hungry.

Stay foolish.” in his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University.

“Stay hungry” means “don’t be satisfied with the status quo,” while “Stay foolish” needs a bit of freer interpretation—something like “don’t be constrained by conventional wisdom.” If we adopt this as a slogan, it could convey the message: “Let’s always look for ideas to make our school festival even better, and put them into action in flexible ways that aren’t bound by convention!”

One festival joint festival

“Issai-Gossai” is a coined word that plays on the phrase “issai-gassai.” The original “issai-gassai” means absolutely everything, with nothing left out.

By swapping in the character for “festival” (祭) to suit a school culture festival, the term conveys ideas like enjoying absolutely everything to the fullest on the day of the festival or giving it your all.

The character 祭, which evokes flowers and festivity, also conveys energy and splendor when printed on banners or posters, and it’s sure to get everyone excited!
