10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderkepiko
Graduated from Kunitachi College of Music, Faculty of Music (now: Department of Music Culture and Education, Early Childhood Music Education major). In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher. After graduating from university, I worked as a kindergarten teacher for 10 years and as an after-school childcare instructor for 7 years, then took a position as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I engaged in activities that introduced Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational activities, working with many children. Later, through freelance writing, planning, and editing at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and sharing. Drawing on the perspective cultivated in the field of education and my experience as an editor, I provide practical information with an emphasis on both input and output, mainly in areas related to music and children. My hobbies include instruments, singing, handicrafts, toys, drawing, traditional games, the outdoors, and books. My special skill is spinning-top tricks.

Watch “Think carefully. But when the time comes to act, stop thinking and move forward. Napoleon Bonaparte” on YouTube

Napoleon Bonaparte, a hero of the revolutionary era and the military leader who established a military dictatorship as Emperor of the First French Empire.

His famous quote, “Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action comes, stop thinking and go in,” teaches us the process necessary to achieve something, doesn’t it? If you rush ahead without thought, you’ll encounter many failures; if you overthink and never act, nothing will change.

The message—think carefully about what’s necessary, then charge forward with all your might—serves as an encouraging send-off to anyone heading into a new world.

It’s a perfect parting maxim, made all the more persuasive coming from a revolutionary.
