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 Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Even when you’re bored at home, you end up watching let’s-play videos on streaming sites—so why not play them at your school’s culture festival? It’s a creative and imaginative booth idea.

Although it may look simple, the choice of game and the energy of the commentary make all the difference; it’s a deceptively deep video concept where your sense of style is key to getting the crowd excited.

Make everyday life look cool with reverse playback! Faithfully recreates even commercials in detail.

Baka-cool Makuhari Sogo High School Cultural Festival ‘Funny ∞ Theater’

Make everyday life look cool with reverse playback! Faithfully recreates even commercials in detail.

Watch “Make everyday life look cool with reverse playback! Faithfully recreates even commercials in detail.” on YouTube

This video was created as a project to be screened at a school cultural festival.

It’s a continuous sequence of comical yet cool moves set to music, cleverly making use of reverse playback.

The opening recreates the familiar “Movie Thief” seen in theaters, and the commercials inserted in between also reproduce well-known ads you’ve probably seen before.

We tried making a roller coaster for our high school cultural festival.

How about building a roller coaster for your high school cultural festival and turning it into a video? If you make one, you’ll be the talk of the entire school! An indoor setup offers thrills you can’t get outdoors.

However, to have fun safely, a high level of safety is essential, so be sure to design and build it carefully!

How about a film project with a kaiju theme? A gigantic creature lumbering through the town where you live… It would be perfect for conveying the out-of-the-ordinary vibe of a school or cultural festival.

You could buy a costume, but it’s also fun to make one from scratch with cardboard and newspaper.

Get your friends together and build it up with lots of laughs.

You might be unsure how to handle effects and other flourishes, but there are plenty of free, high-powered video editing programs available nowadays—search around and put them to use!
