Words of love that tug at your heart. A moving message that will surely convey your feelings.

10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

It’s a stirring declaration of love that you should use for someone you truly cherish.

However, as mentioned earlier, depending on the depth of your relationship and how they see you, they might not believe it, so be careful.

It’s the perfect phrase to express how precious someone is to you and how they’ve become your reason for living.

It’s a soul-stirring declaration of love that resonates not only between lovers, but also from parent to child and from child to parent.

I want you to rely on me more.

The message “I want you to rely on me more” expresses a desire to be trusted.

Whether the other person is a partner, a family member, or a friend, there are people who just can’t show their weaknesses.

Still, when someone important to you is working hard or struggling, it’s frustrating if they don’t talk to you or let you help.

Precisely because you love them, you want them to share some of that burden with you—this message puts that feeling into words.

The message “I don’t want to let you go” expresses a feeling so full it can’t be contained.

You are the best.

The phrase “You’re number one” is, I think, a way of clearly conveying just how important someone is to you.

In a world with countless people, becoming someone’s number one isn’t something everyone can take for granted.

It’s simple and straightforward, yet it gets your feelings across.

However, there’s also the saying, “If there’s a number one, there’s a number two and three,” so use it with consideration for your relationship with the person and how they might interpret it.
