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.
POPS writer/editorKEI
Since discovering music during my school days, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. I have experience writing articles for sites like Utaten. 2000s J-pop and 2010s K-pop were especially the soundtrack of my youth. With the mindset that “good is good,” I enjoy music across genres. Thanks to past work environments and their influence, I was exposed to lots of classic rock and kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs), which may have broadened the scope of what I love. At RAG MUSIC, I currently focus on K-pop and J-pop. I strive to edit with a feel for the scene and an eye for hit potential.

MerryHOWL BE QUIET

HOWL BE QUIET「Merry」MV

MerryHOWL BE QUIET

A Christmas song by the piano rock band HOWL BE QUIET! It’s included on the album DECEMBER.

The lyrics depict a somewhat mature romance that might be a bit difficult for elementary school kids.

However, “thank you” and “sorry” are important words not only for couples but also among friends and family.

In that sense, it’s a song we’d love elementary school children to sing, to rediscover the importance of those words.

wishsumika

sumika / Wish [Music Video]

wishsumika

Sumika’s bittersweet unrequited love song “Negai.” Even though it’s about unrequited love, it’s super catchy, so it’s a great pick for elementary school kids too! What’s intriguing about this song is that, despite being about unrequited love, words like “suki” (I like you) or “koi” (romance) never appear in the lyrics.

Maybe that’s exactly why it feels even more heart-wrenching.

During the scene in the lyrics where snow starts to fall, try pretending to catch the snow in your palm as you sing!
