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.

Toward the light, toward the lightMisuzu Kaneko

Women’s Chorus: Toward the Brighter Side (Poem by Misuzu Kaneko), Woodwind Accompaniment Version

Toward the light, toward the light Misuzu Kaneko

Here is a line inspired by the nursery rhyme poet Misuzu Kaneko.

It tells us that people are creatures who naturally try to move toward the light, yet also possess a bent curiosity that makes them want to try going in a different direction.

It suggests that when our hearts grow dark, if we allow ourselves to be simple and honest, we can turn toward the light.

In this world of humans, there’s no such thing as failure.Ryoma Sakamoto

In this human world, there’s no such thing as failure. — Sakamoto Ryoma, Despair Freestyle Footballer

In this world of humans, there’s no such thing as failure. - Sakamoto Ryōma

Sakamoto Ryoma was a samurai of the late Edo period known as a key figure behind the Satsuma-Choshu Alliance and the restoration of imperial rule, and for proposing the “Eight-Point Plan Aboard Ship,” which laid out the basic blueprint for the new Meiji government.

He is a famous historical figure who often appears in long-running historical dramas, so many of you may already know him.

One of his famous sayings is, “There’s no such thing as failure in this world.” If we can think this way even when we stumble, don’t you think we can live more boldly? Failure is frightening to everyone, but try not to fear it too much—follow Ryoma’s example, who transformed his era, and press forward.
