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!”

Theater Game Intro 1: “Introducing Others”

Introducing someone else

An “other-introduction,” where you introduce someone other than yourself, can deepen relationships and improve communication skills.

It’s used in team-building and school classes and can be enjoyed even over the phone.

Start by gathering information about the person you’ll introduce and summarize the key points you want to share.

It’s also nice to introduce the personality and hobbies of a close friend or partner.

You may notice aspects you hadn’t realized before, and it can be a chance to learn more about the other person.

It’s also recommended to share what you like about them—things you don’t usually get to express.
