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!”

If you can’t find illustrations, you could also use photos of blue flowers you took yourself or patterned paper.

Let’s make sea creatures! Here are some ideas for an ocean-themed world.

What comes to mind when you think of summer? There are many events like summer festivals, watermelon smashing, and fireworks displays, but many people probably also head to the beach.

How about creating illustrations of sea creatures and ocean-related items to decorate this time? In the video, you can see the careful process of crafting the parts of sea creatures and assembling them.

It also seems like a great opportunity to learn the names of the creatures with children and explore their habitats together.

T-shirt

Unique and fun! Here are some T-shirt ideas.

T-shirts are probably the most useful item in summer outfits, right? How about arranging those T-shirts into a garland? All you need are origami paper, scissors, glue or double-sided tape, and string.

It’s great to make origami versions of the T-shirts the kids actually wear, but an activity where they create their ideal T-shirt designs and turn them into a garland would be exciting too.

Give it a try!

cherry (sweet cherry; cherry fruit)

Make it with yarn! Here are some cherry-themed ideas.

When you think of cherries, you get a cute image, right? If you want a bright and pop look, a cherry garland could be just the thing.

For the cherry fruits, you can cut yarn into round shapes, and finish the stems and leaves with felt to give it a warm feel.

You can also add small, cute flowers made from the same felt or yarn as accents to complete a lovely garland.
