Writing, playing and singing songs is one of my pleasures in my hectic life.<\/p>\n
Daily piano practice was not so amusing for 4 years old girl and I had desired to escape suffering of boring lessons of basic fingering technique.<\/p>\n
Thinking back now, those years opened up a new beautiful world for me.<\/p>\n
Completed Italian Concerto of Bach for the final concert before the entrance exam preparation when I was 15, I stopped the daily piano practice.<\/p>\n
My passion for music appeared in some form or another in my life.<\/p>\n
In high school days, I started to sing with bands and performed in so many concerts.<\/p>\n
When I was 20, I made a debut as a professional singer, released two albums then stopped playing music again to return to my everyday life.<\/p>\n
As I was getting busy at work, I remained to be an incognito but an avid listener for decades.<\/p>\n
Then recently one brisk autumn morning, it struck me that it\u2019s time to sing again.<\/p>\n
It is an intuitive decision, something like a direct divine revelation.<\/p>\n
I will sing \u2018The Days of Wines and Roses\u201d soon at a jazz club in Tokyo.<\/p>\n
This special occasion fills my heart and soul with joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
