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.

NHK’s popular show for toddlers, “Inai Inai Baa!” Even kids who are crying might perk up when they watch this program.

Make a hat out of construction paper

Here’s a cute hat idea you can make with construction paper! Just crease the folds, cut along them with scissors, and staple it together—perfect for making with kids.

You can adjust the hat size by changing the length of the paper, but since you’ll attach an elastic band at the back, it’s okay if it’s a bit small.

Try making it with white construction paper and then adding Wanwan’s ears using green paper.

If you lightly stick on some cotton, you might be able to capture that fluffy, Wanwan-like feel!
