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.

A collection of Doraemon quotes that will lift your spirits! Words that gently resonate in your heart (31–40)

Money is something you earn by working for it yourself.Dorami-chan

With only a single 100-yen coin of pocket money left, Nobita asks Dorami if she has any tools for a treasure hunt.

Dorami refuses and tells him this: Even if you use an all-purpose gadget to find treasure and increase your money, you won’t understand the true weight of money.

You only grasp that by working hard and earning it.

Her words may have sounded harsh to Nobita, who is always being helped by Doraemon.

But if you misuse money, it can ruin you, so it’s important to teach that value clearly from childhood.

It’s your fault because you keep repeating the same thing no matter how many times you’re scolded.Doraemon

If you don’t want to be scolded, you need to understand why you were scolded.

If you just think it’s annoying or unpleasant, you’ll likely repeat the same thing.

After all, if you don’t understand what was wrong, you can’t reflect on it.

People can grow, but to do so, it’s crucial not to repeat the same mistakes.

Don’t let the words of someone important to you—or words meant for your own good—go in one ear and out the other; listen carefully and take them to heart.

If you don’t, you’ll eventually be written off.

If the whole of Japan sank to your level, it would be the end of the world.Doraemon

These are Doraemon’s scathing words to Nobita, who tried to use a gadget to bring the intelligence of all Japanese people down to his own level.

The phrasing conveys how low Nobita’s level is, and the way Doraemon says it—directly, though troubled—adds a comedic touch.

It not only rejects the idea of lowering abilities to the least capable, but also conveys the message that it’s precisely because everyone’s abilities differ that mutual support sustains the world as it is.

It teaches us not to judge things solely by differences in ability, but to recognize those differences as important.

A person’s worth isn’t determined solely by test scores.Shizuka-chan

These words were spoken by Shizuka-chan to Nobita-kun.

Speaking of Nobita-kun, the strong impression is that he often scores zero on tests and gets scolded by his mother.

But in fact, he has gotten a perfect score before! However, no one believed him no matter who he told.

Shizuka-chan is one of those people, but she encourages Nobita-kun by saying that a person’s worth isn’t determined by test scores.

Even if he’s not good at studying, Nobita-kun is honest and kind.

Shizuka-chan truly understands those good qualities.
