Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

This is a gem of a song that celebrates the importance of friendship and bonds.

Sensei Tasukete-san’s song is a melancholic piano-pop number that portrays the complex feelings of a girl on the eve of her birthday.

Vivid lyrics linger in the mind, such as the image of a girl after school waiting for her teacher while blindfolded, and a scene where a cake is smashed to bits.

Released in January 2025 as a debut single, it drew attention especially among young people, with the teaser video on TikTok garnering over 41,000 views.
