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!”

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.

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.
