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!”

When you’re throwing a Halloween party, try expressing “Halloween” stylishly with lettering! First, sketch out the word “HALLOWEEN” in your preferred design.

It’s also a great idea to add drawings around it, like pumpkins or candy.

Once your draft is ready, use a craft knife to cut away the unnecessary parts.

It will already look wonderful, but if you want to make it even nicer, add color by attaching colored paper or colored cellophane to the cut-out areas.

You can make it larger and stick it directly on a wall or window, or make a smaller version and display it in a frame!
