About Me

oops I cannot use Japanese..? OK, I am taking music program composition major in a college in small hippy city in British Columbia. Born and grew up in northeast city in Japan, I took piano lessons when I was in elementary school. In my early age, piano and marching drums are my main instruments, but now voice is my first instrument. I took voice at college last year, but I changed to piano this year to support my singing and improve my writing skill. After sang for couple of bands and for events, I used to perform a cappella for wedding with great people for about 3 years in Tokyo and area. We performed lots of pop, standard, and jazz tunes and recorded some songs for CD. I am still really enjoying to sing&play somebody's tune, but now I eager to write my own songs! I am excited to do this. This is my precious time to be here, such a special city in Canada and studying music. I am learning as much as I can, I am doing my best as good as I can! And..sorry my English! ;P
