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.

Mother’s Day falls on the second Sunday of May.

To express their everyday gratitude, many people prepare in various ways each year—sending flowers or gifts, cooking a meal, and more.

Even without a gift, you can still share your feelings!

If that sounds like you, how about giving a message card?

In this article, we’ll share plenty of ideas for handmade message cards.

Of course, it’s also fine to include one alongside a present or bouquet!

If you find it embarrassing to say things out loud, a message card might be the perfect way to express how you feel!

Why not make a flip-flap message card filled with memories for Mother’s Day? This card is designed so you can enjoy flipping open photos and messages one by one.

Attach memorable photos onto a sheet of colored construction paper, arranging them so they overlap slightly.
