Keyboard playerSAKI
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!”

I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Color Vision Quiz

[IQ Test] 95% absolutely can’t see it! If you can see them all, are you a genius? A brain-training test to sharpen your attention and color vision

Color Vision Quiz

A simple yet very difficult challenge where you find and name the object hidden within a colored circle.

The object is drawn in nearly the same color as the circle, requiring a superhuman ability to discern subtle color differences.

It’s important to explain in advance that most people won’t be able to answer, so if someone can’t find it, they won’t feel frustrated and can move on.

Focusing to answer can train attention, and trying to perceive color differences can improve color discrimination ability.

People with excellent color vision can solve these, so if you figure out the answer, show off your skills to those around you.

Comedian Quiz

[Comedian Quick-Answer Quiz] Which solo comedian has only the first character of their name in the alphabet? [Shimofuri Myojo]

Comedian Quiz

It’s a game that tests how many names of comedians you know and whether you can recall them from memory.

By narrowing down specific conditions—like “solo comedians whose names start with a letter of the alphabet”—you have players think of names that fit.

It doesn’t just test whether you know the comedians, but also whether you’ve seen their names in written form.

If you make it a head-to-head format and motivate players to answer faster than their opponent, the urgency to come up with fitting names should make the scene all the more exciting.
