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!”

Word Wolf

I tried playing Werewolf normally.

Word Wolf

Recommended indoor farewell party recreation! Here are some ideas for Word Wolf.

Word Wolf is a unique game where communication through words is key.

All participants receive a word from the same theme, but among them is someone with the role of the “Wolf.” Because the Wolf’s word is different from everyone else’s, they must keep that hidden while continuing the conversation.

The goal for the other participants is to find the Wolf.

Players communicate by asking questions and the like while deducing who the Wolf is.

It’s a fun game that tests your ability to observe others’ words and expressions and to reason things out!

To make a play successful, the practice leading up to it is important, and it’s precisely because you spend time together that you can truly feel the bond.

The theme you choose and how you cast the roles also reveal each person’s taste and individuality.

It’s best if as many people as possible can participate to foster a sense of unity, but a director’s skill is also tested in how they handle the number of characters.

It’s recommended to keep in mind who the play is for and shape the theme and flow accordingly.

Besides staging it as a live performance, turning it into a film project could also be interesting.
