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!”

What is customary to give as a gift for Christmas in China?

See the answer

Apple

In China, there is a custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve. This is because Christmas Eve is called “Ping’an Ye” (Silent Night, literally “Peaceful Night”) in Chinese, and apples are called “Ping’an Guo” (“peaceful fruit”), so the practice carries the meaning of wishing for peace. For this reason, friends and loved ones often exchange apples.
