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.

[Make it in 5 Minutes!] Super Easy! A Snow Globe Made with Daiso Materials ♡

snow globe

A very simple snow globe you can make using items from a 100-yen shop.

The materials are liquid glue, an empty jar, adhesive, and a wooden skewer or chopstick.

For the decorations inside, you can use glitter, sparkles, and a main figurine—whatever you like.

Be sure to firmly glue the figurine to the bottom of the jar, and try not to let air in when adding the liquid glue.

You can adjust how quickly the sparkles fall by changing the ratio of liquid glue to water.

It’s easy enough for small children to try, so I highly recommend it!

party hat

[Party Craft] Make it with just construction paper! Cute Christmas party hats! Party hats (Christmas tree and Santa Claus hats) [No ruler or compass needed] How to make a Party Hat

party hat

This is a Santa Christmas hat you can make with construction paper.

First, fold the paper in half to make a crease.

Fold both sides into triangles toward the center line, then trim off any excess.

Next, fold each side toward the center two more times and flip it over.

Cut off the top portion, and when you open it up, it should look like a fan.

Roll it up into a cone shape, and that becomes the sturdy body of the hat.

Finally, decorate the brim and tip with white construction paper to finish a bright and cute Santa hat.

You can also use green as the base and stick on pom-pom decorations so it looks like a Christmas tree!
