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.

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.

Rhythm jump rope is a fun exercise where you jump rope to music.

It became widely known thanks to the comedy duo Nyanko Star gaining popularity.

There are classes for elementary school kids, and everyone can have a lively, fun time together.

Moving your body to the beat feels great, and it’s easy to do in your own backyard—that’s part of the charm!

Since you can jump to various songs, it’s also perfect for sports days and preschool events.

Jumping rope together while enjoying the rhythm helps deepen bonds with friends.

Even beginners can learn while having fun, so give it a try!

2020.10.3 Hiro, senior kindergarten sports day: jump rope performance

FLASHPerfume

This is a song by Perfume that was chosen as the theme for the film Chihayafuru, and its near-futuristic vibe is captivating.

The exhilarating, fast-paced feel of the track might make it fun to try running jumps or basic forward jumps to match the excitement.

Right before the chorus, there’s a calm atmosphere as if something is about to happen, so it could be interesting to dance without jumping there on purpose! Some kindergartens even use this song for rhythmic jump rope performances at sports days, so it’s highly recommended as a group showcase piece!

Rope Skipping Waltz: Let’s jump to Demon Slayer (Gurenge)! #PE #JumpRope #RhythmJumpRope #SportsDay

Crimson Lotus FlowerLiSA

Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba became explosively popular across all generations in 2020.

The anime and movie also became historic hits.

This song is the opening theme for season 1 of the anime, sung by LiSA—a cool track with a touch of sadness.

The jump-rope dance choreography starts with placing a hand on your chest, and the moves make full use of the song’s cool vibe.

If you snap your legs apart and raise your hand right at the moment the sound cuts off at the end of the chorus, it looks awesome!
