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.
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

If you wish for a miracle…JUJU

Kiseki Wo Nozomunara … (soulful world ver.)

If you wish for a miracle…JUJU

Have you heard of the movie “Soul” with the tagline, “What if there were a place where you could decide who you’d become?” What’s groundbreaking about this film is that, even though it’s a Disney movie, the protagonist is a 45-year-old man.

That alone makes you want to watch it, doesn’t it? The theme song, JUJU’s “If You Wish for a Miracle…,” is a superb ballad that perfectly matches the film’s story.

It’s ideal for moving scenes in kindergartens or schools, so it’s definitely a song worth remembering.

It’ll bring you to tears!

Garyo Gunbu: Matsuri Time

Elegant Cool Group Dance: Matsuri Time [Theme Park Class]

Garyo Gunbu: Matsuri Time

The event “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu” was held at Tokyo Disneyland in 2014.

Compared to the previous two years, the content changed slightly, unfolding a story in which two teams competed against each other.

The song used for both teams’ entrances and exits was “Miyabi-Ryo Gunbu: Matsuri Time.” It features a powerful sound that heightens anticipation for the show.

The unique choice of words in the title and the slower tempo, which makes it easy to groove to, are also appealing.

It’s also recommended to enjoy it by combining it with dance.

In conclusion

From among Disney songs that captivate everyone from children to adults, we introduced tracks you can dance to and enjoy. Rhythmic numbers tend to be fast-paced with intense choreography, so if you want little kids to dance, songs that aren’t too up-tempo might be better. That said, dancing to the music you love is the best! Listen and compare carefully, and pick the one perfect track.
