(Pianist / Expressive Artist / Music Educator)
No one is left behind. Everyone belongs.
Everyone is seen, heard, and held with kindness.
That's who I am: a gentle, slightly whimsical teacher who stays close to your heart❤️🩹
I was born and raised in Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture.
Surrounded by Mount Akagi and the Watarase River, I feel safe and at peace here.
I live a quiet, peaceful life as a Reiwa-era wandering poet of sound.
A person who touches the soul through sound.
Profile
I graduated from the Faculty of Education (Music)
at Niigata University and completed graduate studies at the same university.
Before becoming fully independent, I worked as a pianist, performed with orchestras, solo concerts and various stage productions.
As a public elementary school music teacher, I created original graduation songs every year for my lovely children.
I loved teaching because I was able to connect with every child from the bottom of my heart.
Since I was a university student, I have taught over 2,000 students throughout my 30+ year career.
After many experiences, my work has expanded far beyond the classroom. I have dedicated my life to supporting people through the power of sound and expression — children, teachers, communities, and anyone seeking to reconnect with their true nature.
Rather than focusing on technical achievement, I value the moments when a person's essence returns, when their inner voice begins to shine again through music.
My mission is simple: to create spaces where people feel seen, safe, and free to express who they truly are.
Today, I create live musical spaces where sound becomes connection, presence, and shared experience.
