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.

[Sabito Quotes] The true meaning of strength and kindness. Stern and fiery iconic lines (11–20)

Hammer it into your flesh and blood.Sabito

These are forceful words directed at Tanjiro, who is troubled because his training isn’t yielding the results he wants, telling him he still hasn’t trained enough.

They refute Tanjiro’s claim that he’s giving it his all, insisting that he still hasn’t exerted enough effort and must keep moving forward without giving up.

They urge that what you’re taught shouldn’t stay in your head but be drilled into your body—only when it comes out unconsciously can you truly advance—spoken in a way that stokes a fighting spirit.

It’s also key that these words are delivered in the midst of battle, to strongly demonstrate the idea of engraving it into the body through real combat.
