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!”

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.

Here’s an idea for making a cake-patterned trinket holder using paper cups.

First, take one paper cup and cut straight down from the rim to the bottom, then cut out the bottom as well.

Use this as a base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper on top so it looks like a cake.

Once you’ve finished decorating the base, stick it onto another paper cup to complete the holder.

It’s quick, cute, and you can customize the decorations however you like, so it’s highly recommended! Plus, with a bit of ingenuity, you can add a lid to the trinket holder—give it a try if you have the time.

[100-yen DIY] Felt Bag Made Without Sewing / felted bag / making a felt bag

bag

One of the convenient things about felt is that you can use it as is after cutting without finishing the fabric edges.

Why not take advantage of that and make a bag? All you need are a large sheet of felt—available even at 100-yen shops—and scissors.

First, you’ll mark out the pattern, but there’s no need for a paper template; just draw lines with a ruler.

Cut out the handle section and braid it, and for the sides that form the body of the bag, simply tie together the slits you’ve made.

Once you’ve tied the handle securely, you’re done.

It actually holds more than it looks!

scrunchie

No sewing needed! Easy, budget-friendly “felt scrunchie” DIY ♡

scrunchie

Here’s an idea for making a super easy yet cute scrunchie.

First, cut felt into lots of thin strips.

Punch holes at the top and bottom of each strip, then thread them all onto an elastic.

After that, tie the elastic and slide the felt pieces up and down to spread them out—and you’re done.

Even though it’s just threaded felt, it looks like a lovely flower.

Using a single color of felt works, but mixing several colors makes it bright and adorable.

Because it’s soft, it’s easy for kids to use, and it’s also great that you can wash it if it gets dirty.
