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!”

Even in such harsh conditions, the ongoing pursuit of space exploration can be attributed to humanity’s strong spirit of inquiry.

Auroras change color depending on altitude.

While auroras are often associated with cold countries and are a major attraction with their beautiful, curtain-like lights shimmering in the night sky, did you know that their appearance changes with altitude?
