Beautiful, heartwarming words: A collection of memorable quotes to share with those who have experienced parting.

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.

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

There is no such thing as a mistake. A mistake is a blessing from which you can always learn something.Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I would like to introduce a famous quote by the American psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross.

She is also known as the author of “On Death and Dying,” and through her involvement with patients at the end of life, she wrote about their sorrow, her reflections, and her work.

Her pioneering achievements are also known as the “process of accepting death.” Her words, born from facing life and death, carry profound meaning.

I don’t think there is anyone who has never made a mistake in life.

I hope we can view our mistakes as steps toward what comes next and keep moving forward.
