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.
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

I want to help people who are in trouble.

For those aiming to work as counselors, care workers, or in similar professions, a helpful approach is to write a statement that focuses on your sincere feeling of “wanting to help people in need.” It’s fine to write a statement centered on what you want to do—like “I want to do X in the profession of Y”—but it’s also valuable to candidly describe why you decided to pursue that profession in the first place.

Including the episode that sparked your desire to “help people in need,” as well as specifying what kinds of people you want to help and how you want to help them, will make your statement more convincing.

What do you like? Your friends might already know a lot about you, but some of you may have things you’ve loved in secret for a long time.

How about putting those feelings into words at the time of graduation? Learning “Oh, so they liked that kind of thing” might deepen your bonds with friends after graduation, or even lead to new friendships.

Pour your passion for what you love into your words—boldly and from the heart.

If you have a partner, how about writing a message to them? You could write about the passionate love you feel right now, your wish to stay together forever, or even a message to your future partner—also recommended.

Reading it back later might make you a little embarrassed.

But the heartfelt feelings you put in the collection will surely reach your partner.

When you look back on it in the future, perhaps at your wedding, your heart will swell with the same feelings you had back then.

Class Memory Sugoroku

One idea is to turn the entire page into a sugoroku board.

Start at the “Start” space and fill each square with different memories.

Then add instructions according to the events, such as “Move forward X spaces” or “Move back X spaces.” If it’s a memory of something happy, make it a space that moves you forward; if it’s a space with a disappointing or funny event, make it one that moves you back.

It’s also recommended to pick a theme, like “game-style.”

Class Memories Timeline

Here’s an idea for a class memory timeline that packs all your school memories into one place.

As the name suggests, it summarizes memorable events that happened in your class in a timeline format.

You can look back over everything from when the class first formed to graduation all at once.

And since it’s a timeline, each event has to be expressed in just a few words, which also makes it hard for outsiders to grasp the full meaning—that’s part of the charm.

It feels like a secret code that only your classmates can understand, which is exciting.
