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!”

Cat and the Ghost Tree

Cat and the Ghost Tree

There are many Halloween motifs like pumpkins, ghosts, and bats, but black cats are a perfect mix of cuteness and mystery.

So, here’s an idea featuring a cat and a ghost tree! Take a square piece of paper, fold it in half, and draw half of a ghost tree and one cat on one side.

You might wonder, shouldn’t the cat be only half, too? But when you cut it out and unfold it, having two cats with the same silhouette perfectly enhances that eerie Halloween vibe!

The Witch’s House

Papercutting: How to Make a Halloween Witch’s House

The Witch's House

Let’s make a paper-cut witch’s house that could also be used as a Halloween wall decoration.

Since this design is asymmetrical, you’ll want to cut it with a craft knife rather than scissors.

You don’t have to copy the house exactly—feel free to draw your own—but the key point is the roof that evokes a witch’s signature black hat.

Just having that element gives the house a mysterious vibe.

Make it on a larger sheet of paper and stick it on the wall; adding paper-cut witches or ghosts on top will make it look even more festive as a decoration.
