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!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

How to fold a pumpkin

In this article, we’ve introduced several 3D pumpkin origami designs, but this plump pumpkin is a flat-style creation among them.

It has a shape similar to the flat designs you often see on the internet.

Although it may look complex, this piece is actually easier than the other 3D pumpkin origami.

While it involves a relatively large number of folds, the folding steps themselves are simple, so why not try making it together with your child?

By its nature, origami often ends up with angular shapes when finished.

That crisp look has its own charm, but it doesn’t capture the cuteness of rounded objects.

That’s why I recommend this 3D pumpkin, like a paper balloon.

While it does have some angular parts, it features many curved surfaces overall, giving it a unique form unlike other origami.

It requires slightly delicate technique, but with solid support from a parent, even children can make it—so please give it a try for reference.
