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!”

What actions should I take when a disaster strikes? What do I need in an emergency? Disaster-preparedness quizzes let you learn the answers to these questions in a fun way.

What should we do when evacuating from our house during an earthquake?

See the answer

flip the breaker

When evacuating your home during an earthquake, be sure to turn off the circuit breaker before going outside. This is to prevent “rekindling due to power restoration,” where damaged wiring from the shaking can cause a fire when electricity is restored later. Such fires are frequently reported as secondary damage after earthquakes. If electrical appliances have fallen over or been damaged, the risk of ignition is even higher, so remember to do this in an emergency.

How many emergency toilet bags should be prepared per adult per day?

See the answer

4 to 8 sheets

Because water service may be unavailable during disasters, toilet use becomes a major concern. Emergency toilet bags are used to handle feces and urine, so it’s reassuring to prepare at least about 4–8 bags per adult per day. It’s recommended to stock extra, taking into account usual elimination frequency and possible changes in health such as diarrhea. If a disaster lasts a long time or you have a large family, you should prepare even more. If you run short of toilet bags, hygiene risks increase, so keep a sufficient reserve on hand.
