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 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.

Those who have read the Old Testament may know this: in the account of Noah’s Ark, a dove returned to the ark with an olive leaf in its beak as a sign that the flood had ended.

That, in turn, is said to be why doves became symbols of peace.

A drawing of a white dove also seems auspicious.

If you emphasize the pigeon’s chest and its large tail feathers, it will look dove-like.

The former Twitter bird was designed after a hummingbird or a mountain bluebird, but somehow it also looks a bit like a dove, doesn’t it? Please feel free to use this as a reference for your illustration.

Once you become a working adult, the chances of a thousand or five hundred people all wearing the same clothes decrease, don’t they? School uniforms by themselves become fond memories.

So how about drawing illustrations of students in uniforms? If you draw simple student uniforms or your own school’s uniform, it’ll be 100% nostalgic.

When drawing boys, style their hair as if it’s set; for girls, try a bun or a ponytail to give a dressed-up feel.

And don’t forget a touch of cherry blossoms or a graduation certificate as a small accent!
