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!”

Pino Gacha Machine

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Gashapon Machine Mario #Shorts #Gachagacha

Pino Gacha Machine

Pino, the bite-sized ice cream from Morinaga loved by both kids and adults.

This is about making a capsule toy machine (gacha) using the large box you can buy at supermarkets.

You’ll need to purchase a special package called the “Pino Gacha,” not the regular box—this one has instructions on how to make the gacha, along with cut lines printed on it.

The box contains an assortment pack, with various flavors individually wrapped, so after you assemble the Pino Gacha, you can refill it with the ice creams and use the gacha to randomly decide which flavor you’ll get—that’s part of the fun, too.

Apollo’s Gachapon

[I tried making a gacha with Meiji Apollo] / How-to video / Easy craft / DIY APOLO Dispenser (Japanese chocolate) / @meijiokashi

Apollo’s Gachapon

Apollo Chocolate, a beloved strawberry chocolate treat enjoyed by everyone from children to adults, is truly a classic.

Let’s make a gacha machine that dispenses “Abolo” when you turn a dial made from an Apollo box.

Prepare two Apollo boxes.

The mechanism is very simple: make a hole in the center of a cylindrical dial; when an Apollo piece enters and the dial’s hole faces downward, it drops out.

To prevent the Apollo pieces from moving between the upper and lower sections of the dial, use the second box to create partitions and other dividers.

Ultra-mini capsule toy machine

How to Make a Super Mini Gacha: What flavor will come out next? [Crafts]

Ultra-mini capsule toy machine

How about making a super mini capsule toy machine that fits in the palm of your hand? You might think it’s too small and tricky to build, but if you make each part and then just assemble them into the main body, it’s easier than you’d expect.

To measure precisely and build accurately, using graph-ruled craft paper makes the process smoother and is highly recommended.

For the window section, you can even use clear film from candy packaging as a part.

Try filling it with small candies and have fun with it!
