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!”

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!

We’ve collected ideas for entertaining performances and attractions that will liven up large community fairs as well as school and daycare festival events.

Since these are aimed at children, this is perfect if you’re looking for things like “performances involving lots of kids” or “entertainment for children enjoying the festival.” We’ve selected a variety of ideas, from activities that are especially fun within a close-knit group to ones that get everyone excited—even among people who don’t know each other.

Feeling unsure if you can pull it off? Don’t worry—keep challenging yourself to create wonderful memories, and let’s make it a fun festival!

What's inside the box?

As a classic act that has long been beloved and often seen on TV variety shows, there’s the game “What’s in the Box?” It hardly needs explaining anymore, but it’s a quiz-style recreation where you insert your hands through holes on either side of a box and try to guess what’s inside using only your sense of touch.

It’s a game that even adults get nervous about putting their hands into, so kids are sure to feel a thrill too—and there’s no doubt the reactions from that suspense will excite everyone watching as well.

A science show that uses the power of science is also a great way to liven up a festival.

If you want to plan one but no one knows how, try asking local students.

Of course, looking it up on YouTube is an option too.

Let’s take on the challenge as a learning opportunity for the kids!
