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.

While my tastes lean toward genres like hard rock and heavy metal since I first picked up the guitar, I make a point of listening to a wide range of styles, both Japanese and Western, on a daily basis. I began working as a freelance writer in 2018. I hold a Web Writing Practical Certification, and in addition to writing, I’m also studying video editing. In my private life, I’m raising an elementary school child and stay active while supporting their extracurriculars, such as parkour and dance.

There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.Lu Xun

There’s no need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you.

You don’t need to look back. There are countless paths ahead of you. — Lu Xun

Lu Xun, a novelist known for works that criticize the traditions and feudalism of his native China.

His famous saying, “There’s no need to look back—there are countless roads ahead of you,” reminds us of the importance of facing forward and moving on.

People tend to be trapped by the past and often get stuck there, troubled and unable to proceed.

However, instead of confronting a past we can no longer change, the message that we should look to a future full of possibilities can rescue a discouraged heart.

It’s a positive quote that helps us remember the hope to keep living.

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity.Albert Einstein

In the midst of difficulty, there is opportunity. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity. #Shorts #Einstein #AlbertEinstein #Quotes

In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity. Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein, a theoretical physicist hailed as the greatest of the 20th century, left behind numerous achievements.

The famous quote, “In the midst of difficulty lies opportunity,” is a message that perhaps only Einstein—who fundamentally transformed the way physics was understood at the time—could deliver.

Avoiding difficulty isn’t inherently bad, but when avoidance leads to stagnation, choosing to confront challenges can reveal things we couldn’t see before.

This quote teaches us that precisely in the places everyone tends to avoid lies the chance to reach what no one else has achieved.

Take the sky as a road, and see the road as the sky.Miyamoto Musashi

An unexpectedly popular character from the manga Fist of the North Star is Juuza of the Clouds.

His free-spirited personality must have made him a beloved figure.

When you’re going to school or work every day, there are days when everything just feels unbearable.

You might even want to quit living a life that runs on rails someone else laid down.

At times like that, please remember these words from Musashi.

They’ll make your heart take wing and give you the feeling you can walk your path freely.

“It’s up to you to decide how you live.” It almost feels as if he’s gently teaching us even that.
