In particular, she was impressed by the unique rhythms and melodies of Clifford Brown, whose album she danced to in concert.At the age of twenty, she started to play piano in a college big band in Tokyo. After graduating, she took private lessons for several years from Yuki Arimasa, who had been teaching at Berklee College of Music in Boston.In fall of 2006, she entered Berklee and began to study classical as well as jazz piano.
