Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

Nanjamonja

[Latest] We tried the newly released Nam Nam Monster Deluxe and ended up laughing our heads off lol

Nanjamonja

Nanjamonja is a card game born in Russia.

You flip a card, give the mysterious creature on it a name, and if the same card appears again from the deck, whoever shouts that name first gets the card.

It’s a game that tests both memory and quick reflexes.

Because the characters are so strange and mysterious, each person’s naming sense really shows—but if you give a name that’s too long, you’ll end up forgetting it and holding your head in frustration later.

Then again, that’s exactly what makes the game so fun.
