Keyboard playerSAKI
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!”
Accompanist / Piano Instructoryuri
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.

Leather magnetic bookmark

Introducing a smart leather magnetic bookmark with a sophisticated, grown-up vibe.

While imagining how it will clip onto a book page, attach two magnets to the leather.

Glue the leather together so that the magnets are sandwiched inside.

Then stitch the leather with thread.

Once the glue has dried, fold it in half, sand the edges all around, and you’re done.

It grips firmly, so you won’t have to worry about the bookmark slipping out.

Give this practical and stylish leather magnetic bookmark a try!

With just a little extra effort, an empty tissue box can be transformed into an adorable gift box.

All you need are a tissue box, your favorite beads, and two kinds of construction paper.

Draw guide lines on the tissue box, cut along them with scissors, and make creases.

Then simply fold along the guide lines to create a box that opens and closes.

Attach your chosen construction paper and decorate with beads, and it’s ready in no time.

Since it can be made easily with everyday materials, it’s great for use in elderly care facilities as a fine motor skills activity.

Glasses, remote controls, pens, notepads—leave them where you used them and your table turns into a mess… sound familiar? If tidying up is a hassle and you think, “I’ll need it again soon anyway,” here’s an organizer box for you.

All you need is a single tissue box.

It’s easy to make: draw a line at the halfway point of the box, cut along the line on every side except the back, then fold it and secure it with double-sided tape.

That’s it—you’ve got a simple organizer that will tidy up your tabletop.

If you decorate it with origami paper or stickers to your taste, you might grow even more attached to it.
