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 for 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and for 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, then took a post as a music teacher at an international school in Singapore. In addition to music education, I also engaged in activities that shared Japanese culture, traditional games, and recreational play, working with many children. Afterwards, through freelance writing, planning, and editing work at Shogakukan, I met many delightful adults and experienced the joy of communicating and conveying ideas. Leveraging the perspective cultivated in educational settings and my experience as an editor, I aim to deliver practical information—focusing on fields related to music and children—that values both input and output. Hobbies include instruments, singing, handcrafts, toys, drawing, traditional play, the outdoors, books, DIY, and crafts. Special skill: spinning-top tricks.

Where was last year’s school trip? If you actually went, it might be an unforgettable memory for life, but you probably don’t remember where the seniors went, right? For those who have an older brother or sister, this might be a lucky question!

What month and day is the school’s founding anniversary?

Speaking of elementary school foundation days, it’s like a magical day when only our school gets the day off even if other schools still have classes.

Even though it’s the school’s birthday, no one is at school, so it’s a bit lonely—but do you remember your school’s foundation day? It’s a very important day for an elementary school!
