Just remembering them fills you with courage! Striking quotes that touch the heart from great figures and famous people

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.

You can often feel the passion in Mr.

Tamaki’s messages, can’t you? A lack of interest in politics and distrust toward it are feelings that many citizens likely share today.

In that context, Mr.

Tamaki seeks to face the public head-on.

His words convey a genuine commitment to “politics for the people.” He has also clearly stated, “If it benefits the people, we will accept and confront criticism of our actions.” Listening to his passionate message makes you feel that Japan really might change.

Politics moves.NEW!Yuichiro Tamaki

Don't stop politics! #Democratic Party for the People #Yuichiro Tamaki

Politics moves. NEW! Yuichiro Tamaki

News about a substantial increase in the income tax threshold has frequently appeared on TV and social media.

It will rise to 1.6 million yen in 2025 and to 1.78 million yen in 2026.

In addition, the provisional gasoline tax will be abolished, which should reduce the burden on drivers.

For more than a decade, neither the annual income threshold nor the gasoline-related burden had changed.

However, this is the result of persistent proposals by the Democratic Party for the People, led by Mr.

Tamaki, to increase take-home pay for citizens.

Many people may think that “politics never changes.” As Mr.

Tamaki says, continuing to push can move politics and bring reform—thinking that way makes the world feel brighter.

An indecisive leader can even be harmful.NEW!Yoshihide Suga

As prime minister, Yoshihide Suga pledged one million vaccinations a day and devoted his efforts to bringing COVID under control.
