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!”

July 7 is Tanabata, when it’s said that Orihime and Hikoboshi can meet only once a year.

Tanabata Decorations Origami [Triangle Chain] Easy How-To July Decoration ◇ Origami decorations easy tutorial

This is an idea for a triangular garland that you can complete just by cutting and gluing.

Prepare three 15 cm sheets of origami paper in different colors, and cut each one into four equal parts so they all become squares.

Then cut them diagonally to make 24 triangular pieces.

Apply glue to the top corner of each triangle and attach them vertically in a chain.

You can connect them all into one long decoration, or make several shorter ones—whichever you prefer.

Attach a hanging thread to the top of the decoration and display it on bamboo branches or wherever you like.
