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!”

The great thing about stamps is that you can easily create designs just by stamping them on, but with a small touch, you can take your design up a notch.

That small touch is adding a gradient! It’s easy to do if you use a gradient ink pad, so feel free to give it a try.
