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!”

As a countermeasure for these rhinitis symptoms, a treatment that uses a laser to cauterize the nasal mucosa has been gaining attention.

By irradiating the surface of the nasal mucosa with a laser, the swollen mucosa contracts, expanding the space inside the nose and relieving congestion.
