In my student days, I studied broadly at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, covering sound, lighting, and video technology, and acquired skills from comprehensive stage production to the fundamentals of creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, and have consistently built my career on the production side, taking on diverse tasks centered around music. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting in my own way, as well as insights and discoveries from interacting with my kids every day. I hope I can be of help to you, even just a little!

Akayellow Osmanthus Fragrans - Fujifabric

Personally, it strikes me as a song that really appeals to the senses.

The melody flows lightly, yet with a sense of ebb and flow, while the lyrics are sung rather softly.

And yet, somehow it makes me feel the wind slipping past my body, the osmanthus swaying before my eyes, and even its fragrance.

It’s truly unique—so much so that I can’t think of anything quite like it.
