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!”

Help Ticket

Here’s an introduction to handmade “help tickets” recommended for Mother’s Day.

Prepare construction paper, glue, colored pens, letter stickers, and tape, and let’s get started.

Once you’ve decided which tickets you want to make, cut the construction paper to ticket size.

Add a perforated line with a craft knife about one-eighth of the way in from the edge of the ticket.

Use letter stickers to add the ticket titles, then apply glue to the section with the perforated line and stick the pieces together.

Attach front and back covers on the outside, wrap tape around the glued area to secure it, and you’re done! You’ll be able to make original tickets tailored to your mom’s tastes—she’s sure to love them!

Here’s a recommended scrunchie as a gift for moms who tie their hair.

Hook the two elastics that will be the base onto the cardboard, then weave your chosen ribbon through one elastic, alternating right to left and left to right.

Thread beads as decorations partway through, then remove it from the cardboard, tie it off, and you’re done! Choosing ribbon and hair elastic in similar colors is recommended for a cohesive finish.
