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!”

Curtain of cherry blossoms

Easy Tissue Paper Sakura Curtain – Perfect for Graduation/Preschool Graduation, Wall Decorations, Parties, Weddings, Crafts, and Senior Activities

Curtain of cherry blossoms

This is a cherry blossom curtain with a motif of sakura flowers, which are strongly associated with new beginnings.

It’s made from tissue paper, and because the material is soft and thin, it lets surrounding light become part of the decoration.

You create large sakura flowers at the top and line them up, then hang strands of sakura petal pieces threaded on string from there.

Adding a gradient to the petals is important—the color transitions you create here are the key to making the light look even more beautiful.
