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!”

Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

When you think of a sports day, it probably brings to mind a school event.

However, these days, some adults also hold sports days to boost teamwork at work or to deepen friendships among friends.

That said, when it actually comes time to plan one, it can be hard to think of events that suit adults, or you might struggle with what to choose because there are so many types of competitions.

In this article, we’ll introduce recommended events for an adults’ sports day!

We’ve gathered not only classic events and physically demanding ones, but also activities that let you use your head and have fun.

Use this as a reference when deciding on your lineup.

Let’s strengthen our bonds through a sports day!

Let me introduce an oblique-throw relay that’s sure to energize your sports day.

The rules are simple: form teams of four.

Each team holds a blue tarp with a large ball placed in the middle and carries it to the area where a rope is stretched high above.

Working in sync, the four teammates use the tarp to launch the ball so that it goes over the elevated rope.

You must not use your hands to toss the ball—only pull and maneuver the blue tarp to send the ball upward.

After the ball clears the rope, catch it again with the tarp, return, and pass the turn to the next group.

Be careful when carrying the ball as it moves freely across the tarp.

Once the anchor group finishes, you’ve reached the goal.

Coordinate your timing and give it your best!
