Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

First, gather your hair with your fingers and make a ponytail.

When you secure it with a hair tie, pull it tight so it stays put.

Split the ponytail into two sections, twist one section, and wrap it around the other section as you combine them.

When you’ve formed a bun with just a little bit of the ends left out, secure the bun with a hair tie.

Finally, tuck the remaining ends in while securing them with the hair tie, and you’re done! Give this long-lasting, movement-proof bun a try.

Heart hair

[No.3] Even little kids can do it! 3-minute style — Heart Hair

Heart hair

A heart-shaped hairstyle that even small children can do.

First, gather the hair at the back of the head, not too high, secure it with an elastic, and do a reverse topsy-tail.

Next, divide it into two sections and braid each one into a three-strand braid.

Then shape the two braids into a heart and fasten them with an elastic.

Finally, gather the remaining hair and tie it with an elastic to finish.

It holds more securely than it looks, so it’s fine even with big movements or when wearing a hat.

With the cute heart shape, your child is sure to be delighted!

A cute hair arrangement that's adorable just by tying it

Let’s try a super easy bun hairstyle that won’t fall apart even after a full day of activity! First, tie your hair into a single ponytail at the back.

If you want a softer look, loosen it at this stage.

Split the ponytail into two sections at a 45-degree angle.

Take the lower section and start wrapping it by twirling it around your index finger.

When there’s about 10 cm left, combine it with the upper section and continue wrapping.

Finally, secure firmly with a hair tie; on the last loop, tuck the ends into the bun as you tie, and you’re done.

It’s very sturdy and won’t come undone.

braided twin tails

Studio Cocoa Presents: Easy, Long-Lasting Kids’ Hair Styling

braided twin tails

These are cute braided twin tails that hold their shape well.

They’re an eye-catching hairstyle, but because they don’t fall apart easily—even under a hat or during lots of activity—they’re perfect for sports day.

On one side, start with a regular three-strand braid and then layer strands over from both sides for an outer French braid; on the other side, braid by crossing strands underneath for a Dutch braid.

The key is that you can enjoy two different vibes: the outer braid has a subtle, natural look with understated stitches, while the Dutch braid brings the braid to the surface for a bold, defined appearance.
