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.

Short absences invigorate love, but long absences destroy it.Mirabeau

Assassin’s Creed Unity co-op mission: moving Mirabeau

Short absences invigorate love, but long absences destroy it. — Mirabeau

Mirabeau, a central leader in the early French Revolution, was also known as “Mirabeau the political strategist,” and he excelled in both oratory and statecraft.

Having once been a rake himself, his famous sayings about love carry a ring of realism.

Just as the proverb says that those who part grow distant day by day, the feeling of falling for someone else when you see each other too rarely is something that hasn’t changed from past to present.

To love is to suffer. If you don’t want to suffer, you must not love. But if you don’t, you will suffer from not loving.Woody Allen

Trailer for 'Movies, Love and Woody Allen'

To love is to suffer. If you don’t want to suffer, you must not love. But if you don’t, you will suffer from not loving. Woody Allen

Watch “To love is to suffer. If you don’t want to suffer, you must not love. But if you don’t, you will suffer from not loving. Woody Allen” on YouTube.

Woody Allen was born into a Jewish family in New York, but due to family circumstances he spent a mentally and linguistically complex childhood mainly surrounded by women.

Perhaps as a result, he found it difficult to feel loved.

It seems he also struggled in romance, rarely maintaining stable relationships and often feeling burdened by the pain that came with them.

Love is not about trying to be something you’re not.Oprah Winfrey

When we fall for someone, we tend to overreach and try to match them.

But is that really the right thing to do? Oprah Winfrey—who shines as an actor, TV host, and producer—tells us that not stretching yourself is precisely what love is.

When you’re pretending, you can’t show your true self, and you end up spending more money and energy than necessary just to keep up with the other person.

The longer it goes on, the more you hurt yourself.

If you truly want to love and be loved by that person, this message teaches that the best thing you can do is act like your authentic self.

If you don’t feel love at first sight, there probably is no such thing as love.Christopher Marlowe

Are you the type to fall in love at first sight? Christopher Marlowe, the playwright who created various dramas including Doctor Faustus, left behind powerful words that seem to declare that anything other than love at first sight isn’t truly love.

It’s true that being drawn to someone by intuition feels fated—like you’re genuinely in love.

Of course, love that grows gradually is love as well, but a romance that makes your heart flutter instinctively in an instant, one that follows your own senses, might hold something different within it.

If you don’t feel confident about a love that began at first sight, let these words give you confidence in your intuition.

Believe in love at first sight.Sarah Bernhardt

Love at first sight can sweep you off your feet in the moment, yet later make you anxious—wondering if you should really pursue this love.

At times like that, remember these words by the French actress Sarah Bernhardt, praised as the “Golden Voice” and called the “Empress of the Stage” and a “sacred monster.” The fact that you fell in love at first sight suggests that person has something that resonates with your unguarded senses.

Even if you feel uncertain, her words seem to tell us that it’s important to trust your own straightforward feelings just as they are.

Whether you can stay young depends on whether you can love someone.Dinah Shore

People who are in love or constantly feel a flutter of excitement often give a youthful impression, don’t they? Singer and actress Dinah Shore remarked that whether you can stay young depends precisely on whether you are capable of loving.

Not only real-life romance, but also finding a “oshi”—a favorite idol, artist, or character—and loving them may help you stay youthful.

If you want to stay young forever, instead of saying you’re too old, why not try real romance or oshi activities and keep that spark of excitement alive?
