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!”

Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Flowers that bloom in spring

Flowers that bloom in spring are perfect as illustrations to accompany graduation anthologies or message cards! Here are some simple yet stylish flower illustrations you can draw with just a single ballpoint pen.

Since the charm lies in the clean, simple lines, consider being particular about the pen’s tip size and ink color.

Another tip is to carefully observe your subject—such as photos or real flowers—to capture each flower’s distinctive features.

Drawing the stems and leaves a bit longer and aligning them in vertical lines will give your work a chic look.

If you want to add color, watercolor pencils are an easy and recommended choice.
