Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

Accompanist pianist × piano instructor × web writer. I began piano lessons at age four and, inspired by my piano teacher, decided to pursue music. I went on to specialized music programs in high school and university, where I discovered the appeal of accompanying instrumentalists and singers. Currently, alongside teaching piano, I work mainly in my home region of Aichi as an accompanist for flute, voice, choir, and more. Through lessons, my students often introduce me to trending songs, and my hobby is trying anything on the piano—Japanese and Western pop, commercial jingles, and beyond. Since 2021, I’ve also been active as a web writer, covering music and a variety of other genres.

The newspaper stretches out smoothly!?

[Childcare de Magic] <Revealing the Secret and Explanation> Newspaper Smoothly Stretches!? “Stretchy-Stretchy Tree” [PriPri]

The newspaper stretches out smoothly!?

You’d be surprised if a long, thin newspaper tree suddenly came out in a box that looked empty, right? In this trick, the moment you stack two boxes that appear empty, a newspaper tree springs out from inside.

The secret is that one box is preloaded with a tree made of newspaper, while the other has a false bottom.

When you stack them, the tree pushes out the bottom and the boxes fit together perfectly.

The key is making the newspaper tree so it can extend and collapse smoothly, so take care to craft that part well!
