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!”

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.

Handmade Halloween lanterns with everyday materials! A big reveal of easy ideas! (21–30)

mini lantern

This is a mini lantern made using an R-1 plastic bottle.

It looks like a real lantern, but it’s easy to make, so give it a try! First, cut the plastic bottle into three equal parts and recycle the middle section since you won’t use it.

Wrap black masking tape around the cut edges of the top and bottom sections, and cover the entire bottom section with black tape.

Finally, cover the cap with black tape as well, make a hole, and attach a chenille-stem handle to finish.

It looks cute if you put ghost stickers or similar on the clear part.

Place an LED tea light or other candle light inside and enjoy.

Lantern made with 100-yen store materials

Super easy! How to make a dollar-store jack-o'-lantern!

Lantern made with 100-yen store materials

For those who want to be eco-friendly while trying a DIY project, a jack-o’-lantern made with 100-yen store materials is recommended.

First, buy a solar garden light, a pumpkin-shaped container, and some glass marbles at a 100-yen shop.

Next, cut off the lower part of the solar light; using a saw makes it easy.

Then put the glass marbles into the pumpkin container and embed the solar light there—that’s it.

This way you don’t use fire or batteries, so it’s eco-friendly.

Made with orange peels

Easy! Perfect for a Halloween party! How to make an orange Jack-o’-lantern / Orange Halloween carving

Made with orange peels

Jack-o’-lanterns are usually made by carving pumpkins, but there’s a way to make them with oranges.

First, cut off the top and bottom of the orange.

Then, just like with a pumpkin, scoop out the insides and cut openings where the eyes and mouth will be.

Because it requires more delicate work than with a pumpkin, be careful not to cut your hands.

Finally, put the top piece you cut off back on as a lid, and you’re done.

The color is cute, too, so little kids are sure to love it.

Monster Lantern

[100 Yen Store DIY] Halloween Monster Lantern ♡ Ami Ishii

Monster Lantern

If you want to prepare lots of lanterns while keeping costs down, monster lanterns are perfect.

That’s because you can make them entirely with items from a 100-yen shop, and they’re super easy to put together.

First, gather googly-eye stickers, faux fur, an empty jar, and a candle-style LED light.

Stick the eye stickers on the jar, then put the fur and the candle-style LED light inside—that’s it.

If you want to bump up the quality a bit, coloring the jar itself is also recommended.
