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!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Let’s make a heart-shaped card out of yarn—perfect for Mother’s Day—with a soft, cozy feel and texture.

Thread yarn in your favorite color through the holes.

The direction you thread the yarn can be random; in fact, the more random it is, the more relaxed and charming it looks.

And that’s it—you’ve got a stylish card with a fluffy, slightly three-dimensional look! Add a message around the heart to make it feel even more special.

Message card made with artificial flowers

This is a message card with a three-dimensional, glamorous feel that incorporates artificial flowers.

Since you’ll be attaching 3D elements to the base later, it’s recommended to reinforce it by layering paper or adding borders.

Attach a sheet for writing your message to one half of the base, and artificial flowers to the other half.

Instead of gluing the artificial flowers as they are, it may look softer if you tear off the petals and adhere them individually.

Consider adding beads or small flower-shaped paper pieces as well, and aim for a design that makes the artificial flowers and the message stand out.

Papercut Card

Perfect for beginners too! Let me share some ideas for cutout paper cards.

Kirie (paper cutting) is an art form where you cut patterns or images out of paper using scissors or a craft knife.

The cut-out areas remain as open space, which creates a unique design and a sense of depth—that’s part of the charm.

Because it ranges from simple to intricate pieces, it’s an easy art to start with while choosing designs you like.

It’s also fun to change the mood of your work by layering patterned paper behind the cutouts.
