Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Wishes come true easily. Keep your heart calm at all times.

Doesn’t everyone have at least one wish they want to come true? This omikuji, titled “Wishes come true more easily.

Keep your heart calm,” says that maintaining a composed mind makes your wishes more likely to be fulfilled.

The bigger the wish, the stronger the desire to achieve it, which can make you impatient and lose your calm.

When that happens, your wish may become harder and harder to realize.

If you remain peaceful at all times, your mind and body will be more stable, creating conditions in which your wishes are more likely to come true.

Your love luck is on the rise! Spend your days with a smile.

No matter how old we get, we still want to be in love, don’t we? It can also be a good chance to look back on the bittersweet memories of our youth.

This fortune, “Your love luck is rising! Spend your days with a smile,” might remind you of the excitement you felt back then.

It’s said that being in love releases happiness hormones in the brain, which can even help prevent dementia.

People often think that older adults don’t fall in love, but having someone you like at any age helps you spend each day with a smile and leads to revitalization of both mind and body.
