I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

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.

Grilled Kalbi on the Go

[No Retakes!] If you're a voice actor, you can say 'ayumi aburi karubi' without tripping up even in a one-take, right? [Tongue Twister]

Grilled Kalbi on the Go

It’s a tongue twister that, for some reason, involves searing short ribs while walking, without giving any clear sense of the situation or the reason.

Even if you’re used to eating while walking, cooking while walking feels unnatural, doesn’t it? Precisely because it’s a puzzling phrase with no clear context, you might even imagine a fantasy scene where the seared short ribs start walking on their own.

“Aruki” (walking), “aburi” (searing), and “karubi” (short ribs) all sound similar yet are different words, so understanding how they differ is the key point that will make it easier to say.
