Today, Sunday May 3rd, the "Fukagawa Obake Festival 2026" is being held at the Fukagawa Shiryokan-dori Shopping Street in Tokyo. It's a sacred gathering for yokai fans, with around 70 vendors selling yokai goods, ghost story books, and spooky street food.
…So why are we talking about a ghost festival on a tutoring blog?
Because there are yokai living in YOUR month-end too, aren't there?
- Time mysteriously vanishes the moment month-end arrives
- You suddenly get sleepy whenever you try to make invoices
- "Wait, when did I have lessons with this student this month?"—your memory goes hazy
- Before you know it, your weekend is consumed by admin work
Yep. That's the work of yokai.
Meet the 3 Yokai That Show Up at Month-End
If you run a private tutoring business, there are yokai that appear like clockwork every month. Let's visualize them.
Jokes aside, this is something every private tutor experiences. With 3–5 students, you can power through with willpower. But the more students you have, the stronger the yokai become.
How to Banish These Yokai (Seriously, in 5 Minutes)
The Kagemusha System is a tool that exorcises all three of these month-end yokai in one strike. 500 yen per month.
Add lessons to Google Calendar
Use the calendar you already have. Just write the event as "[Student Name] Math." That alone becomes your attendance record.
The spreadsheet tallies it automatically
Lesson hours, per-student totals, automatic tuition calculations. No more pounding the calculator. The Tuition Calculation Yokai—dispelled.
PDF invoices generated with one button
Invoices with student names, subjects, session counts, and amounts—generated instantly. The Invoice Ghost—sent to the afterlife.
Lesson records double as report material
Jot "Today: quadratic functions" in the calendar's notes field, and you've got material for parent updates. The Report Kappa's head dish—refilled with water.
Before & After: The View at Month-End
Saturday night, beer in one hand, glaring at your planner. "Hmm, how much was this kid last month?" Scrolling back through LINE history. The calculator won't add up. 2 AM, invoices finally done. Sunday, you sleep the day away.
Just use your calendar like normal. At month-end, click one button and PDF invoices roll out. Time required: zero minutes. Your weekend is yours again, and you can actually go to that ghost festival you wanted to check out.
500 Yen a Month—Call It an "Exorcism Fee"
Cheaper than a real shrine exorcism. And the effect lasts forever (until you cancel).
The Kagemusha System never sends your student information or tuition data to external servers. Everything stays within your own Google Calendar, Spreadsheet, and Drive. We banish yokai, but we don't steal data. We're a conscientious exorcist.
