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 as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Irresistibly moving words of love: heartfelt messages that are sure to convey your feelings (1–10)

I can keep going because you’re here.

A message like “I can keep going because you’re here” conveys just how irreplaceable someone is to you, doesn’t it? The nuance can shift depending on the relationship—whether it means you’re motivated because the other person is giving their all, or because you want to protect them.

The desire to try your best for a partner or for your child is something many people can relate to.

It’s a loving phrase you can also use to express gratitude to someone special.

I want to hear your voice.

The message “I want to hear your voice” is a phrase that carries more yearning the farther apart you are in your everyday lives.

If you’ve experienced a long-distance relationship, you can probably relate to the feeling of wanting to feel close to someone you can’t easily meet, even if it’s just over the phone.

Of course, even if you live nearby, if you’re both busy and don’t have time to talk at length, you’ll likely feel the same way.

It’s a sentimental expression overflowing with the desire to be by the side of someone important to you.

I want to support you.

The message “I want to support you” expresses a devoted feeling toward someone important.

Whether it’s emotional, material, or financial support, it varies depending on the relationship, but whatever the reason, it’s not something you can say without love.

Words that sound like a vow to live together will resonate with anyone who hears them.

This is a message I hope you convey to the person who matters to you, after you’ve affirmed each other’s feelings.

I want you to stay by my side forever.

The words “I want you to stay by my side forever” could almost be considered a proposal, couldn’t they? The desire for someone you love to never leave your side is a straightforward feeling that everyone in love probably has.

Or, it might sometimes be used as a flip side of the anxiety that they might one day drift away.

It’s a moving message that’s perfect for when you want to clearly convey your honest feelings.

I can’t stop thinking about you.

The message “I can’t stop thinking about you” is the kind of phrase that makes your heart skip a beat, whether it comes from someone you like or not.

Many people have experienced that state where, once you fall for someone, you can’t help thinking about them all the time.

It might be even more relatable when you’re nursing a one-sided crush than when you’re already a couple.

Compared to just saying “I love you,” it conveys a more specific feeling—words of love that, if someone said them to you, you couldn’t help but become aware of them.

I want to protect you.

The message “I want to protect you” feels like a sensation that comes after, and is premised on, the words and feelings of “I really like you” or “I love you.” It may sound like something a man would say, but women can feel the same way too.

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.
