Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!
A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Childhood Photo Quiz

Did a quiz to guess that famous YouTuber from their childhood photos, and their face has changed way too much lol

Childhood Photo Quiz

A quiz that everyone can join while chatting is perfect as entertainment at a banquet! But when it comes to quizzes, it can be hard to decide what kind to do.

In times like that, I recommend a childhood photo quiz.

You project participants’ childhood photos on a screen and have everyone guess who they are.

Whether someone looks exactly the same as they do now, or the terrifying boss was an adorable kid, it’s the kind of game that’s sure to be a hit no matter what happens.

Nedcchi: Riddle Segment

riddle

It’s a performance made popular by the comedian Nezucchi.

It’s the so-called “nazokake,” where you solve a prompt using a double meaning.

Because you receive the topic on the spot and perform it improvisationally, you need to think very quickly.

They say you can get better with practice, so please give it a try.

Peekaboo-san

A hot topic on Omoshiro-so! Hyokkori-han [skit]—moves you can’t help but imitate! [Yoshimoto Young Performers Festival]

Peekaboo-san

This is the routine by Hyokkorihan that suddenly became famous after it aired on New Year’s Day in 2018.

It’s a simple act where he pops his face out to the music, which is why body movements and facial expressions are especially important.

Using small props like newspapers, just like he does, can further boost the quality!
