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.

If you’re making it by hand, it’s a good idea to base it on your child’s height or clothes they usually wear.

[Using 100-yen shop felt] How to make a children's Halloween pumpkin costume

pumpkin

If you want to handmake a child’s costume with a Halloween vibe, a pumpkin is highly recommended.

This one is made using orange, green, and black felt fabric.

Because it’s a costume that wraps around the upper body, it gives a soft, fluffy look.

The trick is to make the size slightly larger to suit the children’s builds.

Stick a jack-o’-lantern-style face in the center to create impact.

Make the outfit from light, soft materials, and enjoy Halloween events and parties together with the kids!

PAW Patrol

PAW Patrol

This is a costume inspired by characters from the popular anime “PAW Patrol.” Since the series portrays puppies who are active in rescue work, you can enjoy both the animal motif and rescue-themed outfits.

The dog breeds of the characters differ, and so do their uniforms, so we also recommend trying different combinations for each character.

Let’s recreate the characters with attention to detail—such as item selection—to capture the feel of the show.
