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.

TV Anime “Dandadan” × Creepy Nuts “Otonoke” Collaboration Music Video

OtonokeCreepy Nuts

Creepy Nuts, who stormed the scene with the massive hit “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born.” Their new track was written specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime Dandadan.

It expresses the idea of music possessing people with the unique concept of a “sonic apparition,” perfectly syncing with the series’ occult worldview.

Over DJ Matsunaga’s exhilarating, fast-paced track, R-Shitei weaves lyrics that cleverly evoke famous horror works and popular manga, revealing new layers with every listen.

Given its quality, it’s no surprise it topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 after its release in October 2024.

It’s a perfect song not only for fans of the anime but also for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in Creepy Nuts’ meticulously crafted wordplay.

ZUTOMAYO – TAIDADA (Audio Track)

TAIDADAzutto mayonaka de ii no ni.

Zutto Mayonaka de Iinoni., a music unit that captivates listeners with their one-of-a-kind worldview, crafted this piece, which was selected as the ending theme for the TV anime Dandadan.

Inspired by the clumsy words of the characters, it’s a song that conveys a quiet, heartwarming sense of happiness—like the kind you feel in a small four-and-a-half-tatami room.

Within a meticulously woven ensemble where funky grooves and rock intertwine, ACA-ne’s delicate yet energetic vocals come alive.

Released in October 2024, the track is included on the mini-album “Koke no Ichinen Kaiba ni Takusu.” It’s the kind of song you’ll want to sink into when you want to savor the tenderness of everyday life that follows an occult uproar.
