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.

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

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.

a serious match

A great slogan for a sports day or athletics festival is “Shinken Shobu” (a true, all-out contest).

“Shinken Shobu” means striving with everything you’ve got and competing with your full effort.

It expresses coming together as one, challenging each other, and working hard to win.

The phrase also emphasizes not only the day of the event, but the importance of practice leading up to it and helping one another.

Beyond winning or losing, the daily efforts you share in taking on challenges together will surely make for a wonderful sports day or festival.

Flight

A slogan packed with multiple meanings! Here are some ideas themed around “flight.” It might be a word you don’t often hear in everyday life.

“Hishō” (soaring/flight) carries the meanings of “taking off toward a goal” and “pioneering the future,” making it a perfect fit for sports days and athletic festivals.

It evokes students leaping forward as if spreading their wings toward the goal of victory, and it also reflects the wishes of teachers and parents: that each student will give their all and take wing.

Be sure to give it a try.

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.

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.
