10 years as a kindergarten teacher / elementary school teacher / junior and senior high school teacher / childminderKepiko
Graduated from a music university with a major in early childhood education. In elementary school, my homeroom teacher was Jun Kusaba, a game researcher, which had a significant influence on me. Since then, I have spent 10 years as a kindergarten teacher and 7 years as an after-school childcare instructor, and in Singapore I worked as a music teacher while promoting Japanese culture, engaging with many children. As an editor, I also worked on planning and editing in the editorial department of a grade-level magazine. Drawing on my experience and learning so far, I hope to deliver articles that are useful to everyone. My hobbies are music, the outdoors, and reading.
Pop music writer/editorKEI
A style that keeps updating my favorites while loving mainstream and hit songs. I have experience writing articles for outlets like Utaten. Since I discovered music as a student, I’ve mainly listened to Japanese and Korean pop. 2000s J-POP and 2010s K-POP were my youth, and I’m also loosely into jazz and R&B. I enjoy good music across genres with a “good is good” mindset. Thanks to my past work environment (and its influence), I listened to a lot of classic rock and kayōkyoku, which may have broadened my tastes. At RAG MUSIC, I mainly cover K-POP. I focus on reviews that emphasize feelings people can relate to, and on editing aligned with local pride and hit potential. Thank you!
