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!”

[Cardboard Craft] What color will come out? How to make a Garapon (Bingo) machine ★How to make a Bingo machine★

lottery drum

Garapon lottery machines—often seen at raffles—are wooden boxes with a handle that you turn, and the color of the ball that comes out decides the prize tier, with the chance to win lavish rewards.

How about making one of those garapon machines out of cardboard? It’s easy to put together with just cardboard, a utility knife, and a hot glue gun.

You could use your homemade garapon for a raffle, or create an oversized version that grabs attention and becomes a talking point.

And don’t forget to have a bell ready for when someone hits the jackpot!

Making a bowgun in Monster Hunter

I tried making a crossbow, the 'Rathalos Cannon.'

It’s not widely known how sturdy cardboard can be.

This video shows the process of recreating the Heavy Bowgun— the familiar weapon from the Monster Hunter games—using nothing but cardboard.

It’s an impressive piece that even fires ammunition properly.

How about using it when cosplaying as a hunter at a school festival?
