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!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Jerry

A simple and cute Jerry costume will brighten up your Halloween.

Prepare a brown shirt and pants, matching the colors for top and bottom.

It’s also a great idea to make ears from brown felt and attach them to a headband to create Jerry’s ears.

If you can do face makeup, drawing a nose and whiskers with eyeliner might make it even more festive.

Superman is characterized by his muscular build and red cape.

You can represent the yellow belt by applying colored tape.

A cute and easy-to-move-in Peter Pan costume is perfect for Halloween.

Prepare a green or brown shirt and cut the sleeves into a jagged shape.

Choose pants or shorts in the same color as the shirt to create a unified look that brings you closer to Peter Pan.

Make a hat with a pointed tip and add a red feather to instantly boost the Peter Pan vibe—that’s a key detail.

For footwear, finish by pairing your usual shoes with adult-sized green socks cut to look slightly frayed.

Adding a brown belt enhances the adventurous feel of Peter Pan.

Wear denim-style pants on the bottom and a black T-shirt on top.

Put on a blue short-sleeve jacket and a red cap to complete Ash’s outfit.

If you’ll be walking outside for Halloween, white sneakers are recommended.
