The Typhoon Ministers: Once upon a time, music-school grad and pianist Shiraishi was moved after seeing sheet music for a full orchestral arrangement played only on a piano. Inspired, she had a wild idea - a new genre of music that boils the three- or four-person arrangement of a traditional rock band down into a single piano. Later, this idea took a slightly different form as the Typhoon Ministers, when in 2004 Shiraishi met Masaco, a songwriter and drummer who by day makes a living handcrafting traditional Japanese lacquerware.
The two share a wide range of influences from famed piano rockers such as the Ben Folds Five, Yoeko Kurahashi, and Carole King, to classical music, Sparks, Queen, Unicorn, the Beatles, XTC, 60s rock, 70s soul, and R&B. In their live concerts, the Typhoon Ministers are known for positioning the drums and keyboard next to each other in the front of the stage, and for their breathless, thrilling performances of fast-paced, harmony-filled original songs.
You might think the combination of drums and piano makes the Typhoon Ministers acoustic unit - but in fact, the two have created a unique punkish new wave sound that must be heard to be believed!
