Part-time Job

Used goods dealer (March 2020 to May 2022)

Job Description

• Maintenance of used appliances

• Maintenance of used musical instruments (mainly guitars and basses, occasionally professional audio equipment)

• General tasks, cash register operation, customer service, product display, etc.

Question: I would like to ask about the maintenance of used musical instruments. What kind of work did you do specifically, and are there any memorable instruments among them?

Answer: Mainly, I did polishing, string replacement, neck adjustment, and tuning. Specifically, for polishing, I used orange oil to polish the fingerboards of guitars and basses, removed fret dirt with abrasives, and polished the body with a cloth. For neck adjustments, I used a truss rod to adjust the curvature of the guitars and basses. Most of the instruments I worked on had more backbow than upbow, so I often adjusted the backbow. For string replacement and tuning, I performed them as the name suggests and adjusted the tuning to the standard (EADGBE). A memorable used instrument was a Gibson double-neck (probably an EDS-1275).

Hobbies, Club Activities, Circles

First year of junior high school

• Edited library files to install and play Minecraft mods.

• Built a large bookshelf through DIY.

Second year of junior high school

• Played with a guitar and compact effectors handed down from my parents. At that time, I first encountered signal processing through compact effectors.

• Became obsessed with J-Rock and purchased and listened to many CDs.

High school

• Belonged to the light music club. Became engrossed in playing guitar with an Epiphone Les Paul that my parents bought for me.

• In my first year of high school, I accidentally saw professional audio equipment in the light music club and became interested. Since then, I struggled with instruction manuals on the train to and from school, touched the equipment, and spent my days immersed in professional audio equipment.

First to third year of undergraduate studies

Belonged to the Synthesizer Design Research Club and did PA work as a hobby. There was more professional audio equipment than in high school, so I enjoyed tinkering with it.

Third to fourth year of undergraduate studies

• In addition, I also joined the Virtual Live Research Society (VLL).

• Worked as a PA at the fan-made live event MIKUEC.

What is MIKUEC?

MIKUEC is a fan-made live event (an homage to "Magical Mirai") organized by VLL.

My Responsibilities

• I operated professional audio equipment at MIKUEC 2021 and MIKUEC 2022.

• As part of my job, I tuned the stage audio. Specifically, I played pink noise and checked FFT analysis results while tuning the venue's acoustics with a graphic equalizer.

• At the third performance of MIKUEC 2022, I was responsible for operating the audio equipment on site and transmitting the audio signal to the YouTube broadcast.

Scale of MIKUEC

• About 300 guests were welcomed to each performance, with a total of 3 performances. As a result, we were able to deliver sound to approximately 1000 people (including the broadcast, we believe it reached even more people).

• Most of the visitors who attended were non-UEC students, coming through Twitter.

Question: What do you think "good sound" is?

Answer: To be honest, I don't have a clear answer to the question of "what is good sound?". However, I believe that there are moments when customers naturally shed tears of emotion when I am able to deliver "good sound". This is my ultimate goal and aspiration.
