School Life

CHAN From Hong Kong
Enrollment in 2024 
Music Artist Department Bass Course

Pickup 1 day schedule:

12:40 Going to school
The dormitory is close to the school, so I walk there and try to arrive 10 minutes before class starts.

12:50~14:20 スタイルⅠ
Students of the Bass, Drums and Guitar course will practice parts of songs in a band format, learning different styles of music and how to play in sync with other instruments.

14:30~16:00 Break time
Since I have free time until my next class, I eat at a Chinese restaurant near the school. After eating, I practice bass in an empty classroom.

16:10~17:40 セオリー&イヤートレーニングⅠ
Theory is my favorite subject in music theory classes. In ear training, the teacher plays a note on the keyboard and I have to answer what note it is. I feel happy when I answer correctly.

18:00 Returning Home
I go back to the dorm and eat the dinner that’s prepared for me. I also practice my bass in my room.

senior international student

KUNNAJAKR From Thailand

Graduated from the Music Artist and Sound Creator Course in 2025

The reason I decided to enroll in ESP’s Fukuoka school was because I had heard about the school in Thailand and because I wanted to study in Fukuoka, which is a moderately urban area.

At the Fukuoka school, I am studying in the sound creator course because I have always been interested in game music.

After graduation, I will use my university degree from my home country and my experience translating manga to get a job at a Japanese company doing translation work such as game localization.

When I was job hunting, I had to write a resume and a curriculum vitae, so I had CSS correct those documents. I also had regular interviews, so I asked about anything I didn’t understand about job hunting. I think the secret to success in job hunting is to “just try even if you’re not confident.”
