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!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

[Let’s Make Memories!] Exciting Activity Ideas for High School Farewell Parties (31–40)

Russian roulette

Six people face off with Russian lemon roulette ice cream! If you get the sour one, you get a flick-to-the-forehead penalty?! Luck challenge, game, maximum sourness

Russian roulette

It’s a game where one different item is hidden among a bunch of similar-looking foods, and everyone has fun trying to guess who got the odd one out.

Test your luck, and also pay attention to how people react when they pick the “losing” piece.

Spicy or sour bites are classic choices for the odd one out, but if you’re good with those flavors, you might try to keep a straight face so others won’t notice.

You can also use this as a little fortune-telling game to see if you’re the type who tends to draw the short straw.

NG word game

[Mind Games] Total chaos in the NG Word Quiz!?

NG word game

To make high school farewell parties full of smiles, the NG Word Game—where psychological tactics are key—is a perfect fit.

Assign each person a forbidden “NG word,” and during conversation, try to coax others into saying their word without realizing it.

Write the NG words on cards and place them on each person’s forehead so they can’t see their own.

This game, which combines thrills and excitement, brings both laughter and a sense of tension to the students.

At graduation, give this heart-pounding communication game a try!

Burying a time capsule

I tried digging up the time capsule we buried in sixth grade.

Burying a time capsule

This activity involves placing items that evoke memories—such as photos and letters—into a time capsule, burying it, and digging it up years later to spark reflection.

As you imagine the kind of person you’ll become, leave messages for the future, and pack the time capsule with your wish to cherish today’s precious memories well into the future.

The members who bury the time capsule may be living apart by then, so another key point is that it can serve as a reason for everyone to reunite.

Picture your future self’s reaction and choose items that will make the moment of unearthing even more enjoyable.

Minor’s Claim

A minor’s declaration! (*^^*)

Minor's Claim

After the graduation ceremony, you’ll want to turn those final moments with your classmates into wonderful memories.

A great idea for that is a “Youthful Declarations” session on the rooftop.

In a special space just for your class, sincerely share your dreams and gratitude with one another—it will become a lasting memory.

As a surprise, you can also pre-record video messages and then watch them together, taking time to honor each person—an experience sure to move everyone.

While looking back on the days you learned together, send each other cheers for the new future ahead.

This recommended activity is simple yet memorable, and it’s sure to be the perfect keepsake for graduation.
