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!

It’s a simple game where you keep rallying a balloon by batting it upward so it doesn’t fall.

With only one balloon, the pace becomes relaxed with lots of waiting, so let’s add speed by increasing the number of balloons or using other variations.

It might also be fun to keep the balloon rally going while talking at the same time, deliberately diverting your focus from the balloons.

Because the basic rules are simple, you can come up with various additional rules that allow for strategic play.
