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!

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!”

What color is a polar bear’s fur?

white
black
transparent

See the answer

transparent

A polar bear’s fur is actually transparent, not white. And its skin underneath is surprisingly black. The black skin and the transparent, hollow hairs scatter light, making the fur appear white. These skin and fur characteristics also help with insulation, allowing polar bears to survive in cold environments.

Where is the most effective place to put a deodorizer in the refrigerator?

Refrigerator door pocket
the top shelf of the refrigerator
the bottom shelf of the refrigerator

See the answer

the bottom shelf of the refrigerator

Due to temperature differences, convection occurs inside a refrigerator, causing odor molecules to tend to accumulate in the lower part. Therefore, placing a deodorizer on the bottom shelf makes it more effective at absorbing odors throughout the entire compartment. The bottom of the refrigerator also tends to stay slightly cooler, which is an ideal environment for deodorizing agents to work efficiently. Simply adopting this habit can greatly improve your refrigerator’s odor control.

What are some good things to do to prevent static electricity from building up?

Wash hands frequently
Touch walls and the ground
rub clothes

See the answer

Touch walls and the ground

To prevent static electricity, it’s important to discharge any electricity built up in your body. By touching a wall or the ground, the electricity accumulated in your body will naturally discharge, helping to prevent static electricity. In winter, when static electricity is more likely to occur, make sure to touch a nearby wall or the ground before unlocking your house door.
