This blog was created with the purpose of adding a little more color and richness to daily life. It primarily features articles on classical music, pets, theater, and novels.

Each article is carefully selected through discussions with our skilled writers in their respective fields and myself, the editor, to ensure the highest quality content for our readers. For details about the writers, please check the Profile List, the profiles on each page, or the tag pages.


The Beauty of Classical Music!

The reason I deliver articles on classical music is that I have loved listening to classical music ever since I started learning piano and violin as a child.
However, I ended up stopping both piano and violin halfway, which has always been a regret.

While I briefly joined a student orchestra during college and frequently attended concert halls on weekends while working in Europe, I still felt unfulfilled. That’s why I decided to create this site and collaborate with professionals in the field to write articles.

Hearing firsthand insights from professionals is truly inspiring!
I hope this excitement can be conveyed to everyone through our articles.

Can Pet Therapy Save the World?

I write about pets because I’ve always kept them.
From tadpole shrimp, killifish, grasshoppers, frogs, green turtles, to guinea pigs—I’ve cared for many kinds of pets.

The name of this site, “shirokuro neko,” is inspired by a cat I used to have.
Cats are so whimsical, aren’t they? ^^;
I chose the name thinking I’d run this site with the same carefree attitude.

Pets are incredibly soothing.
Through our pet articles, I hope to provide a little bit of healing to the world!

The Unique Charm of Theater! The Tangibility! The Atmosphere!

I’ve always loved theater.
When I was in elementary school, local theater groups would occasionally perform in the gym, where we’d receive snacks and enjoy the shows—it was the best!
I also joined a local theater-watching circle and frequently attended plays at community centers.

While working in Europe, I watched a wide range of performances—from Shakespeare to avant-garde plays—partly because it was affordable. Perhaps it’s because of their physique, but the performances were incredibly powerful! ^^

Again, hearing firsthand insights from professionals is amazing.
I hope everyone gets to experience that same excitement.

Novels Open New Worlds!

I love novels and read them whenever I have free time.
From Dostoevsky to sci-fi and light novels, I’ll read just about anything!
I particularly enjoy mystery novels, and we feature many articles on mysteries on this blog.

Reading novels alone is enjoyable, but each reader has their own perspective, making novel discussions fascinating.
I take pride in providing articles that encapsulate such engaging elements.
Please take a look at one of our articles.
You’re sure to discover a whole new world!
