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!”

school teacher

Tabidachi no Hi ni (On the Day of Departure) is a song that originated in 1991 at Chichibu Municipal Kagemori Junior High School in Saitama Prefecture. As the culmination of the wish to “make our school resonate with singing voices,” then-principal Noboru Kojima wrote the lyrics, and music teacher Hiromi Sakamoto composed the music. It was initially a surprise song for the faculty and staff to sing at the “Farewell Party for the Third-Year Students,” but gradually the students began to sing it, and it spread throughout the country.
