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!”

If you want to create a summer festival atmosphere, fireworks balls are a great option too.

These are hanging ornaments made by shaping origami to look like fireworks.

First, cut the origami paper into a circle and fold it in half from the center.

Make three of these and glue them together back-to-back, and the main piece is complete! Make lots of them and hang them up to create an even more firework-like feel.

It’s also fun to vary the colors of each firework.

Just imagining fireworks going off in your room is exciting, isn’t it?

If you want to make the cheerful atmosphere of a summer festival instantly recognizable, wall decorations with a summer festival theme are recommended.

Try making elements that represent summer festivals—such as colorful food stalls, the foods sold at the stalls, lanterns, people in yukata, and fireworks—using construction paper and other materials.

If you fill the wall space with plenty of these decorations, you’ll create a lively summer festival scene.

It could also be nice to display multiple smaller, festival-themed pieces like an art exhibition.
