Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports.

Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)

[Hilarious] Caption this image! Doing an ogiri (comedy prompt) is tough, but it was still really funny lol

Ogiri (Japanese improv-style comedy wordplay game)

If you have lots of friends who love comedy, trying an ogiri (improv gag) game can be really fun.

In ogiri, the quality of the prompts matters too, so why not have everyone help create them? “Ogiri” covers many formats—like making jokes based on images, writing witty karuta clues, or creating acrostics—so give it a try in whatever style you like.

Armony Game

[Viral] Tried Amoni (Armony) Game and it was so hard I burst out laughing at the most nonsensical parts lol

Armony Game

The “Armony Game,” featured on Fuji TV’s “AI-TV,” is a sing-along game that needs no preparation and gets everyone excited using only clapping and voices.

The parent sings “Ahh,” and then everyone follows by singing whatever song comes to mind.

It’s a lively game that everyone can join—without splitting into groups—and works from two people to large crowds.
