Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

The method is very simple, so it’s easy to try at preschools, kindergartens, or at home.

First, prepare a bar of soap and shave off 1.5 g with scissors or a similar tool.

Next, dissolve the shaved soap in 100 ml of 40°C hot water, then add 10 ml of gum syrup and stir.

Adding gum syrup helps prevent the water from evaporating, so you can make bubbles that are less likely to pop.

Finally, make small cuts in a straw and flare the ends outward—now you’re ready! Gently blow to play with your bubbles.
