I recently enjoyed your show in Austin,tx.  Being a fan of many years, I felt the love and passion of both the music and the artists.  When I think about the show, the music and the stories that were told, it brings a smile to my face.  Thanks...That's what music means to me!

We drove from Dallas down to Austin to see you and it was perfect as always. My thought for the name of your "Retrospective" CD could be "Past Pleasures" with all your album covers on the floor and someone pulling out their favorite as the cover art. (See Dan I got the album thing in there)

Hey Gang!
Use to be on the mailing list but don't know what happened.
Just saw your fantastic concert at Houston's little Int'l Jazz Fest. Brought a friend that isn't familiar with alot of Jazz, & she loved it! Did y'all see the fireflies!?
The last time I saw y'all was on that riverboat in New Orleans, Bally's & my ex-wife & I spoke with y'all after the first set, y'all autographed my album cover of the first release, & we decided to stay for the second set! Got some great photos of y'all tonight! Loaded them on MySpace (dardardude) but need to finish captions. Great to see y'all again!
Peace & hugs,
Michael

The natural blend that is in your music is mystical! I could, and often do, listen to your music all day long! I wish you would come to Philly and perform. I vow to buy as much of your music that is available. I tried to acquire your music online thru BMG Music, but they don't have any of your CD's, which reallly surprised me. I'm glad you have this site to feed the need I have for more of your sound. Continue to spread peace and true harmony thoughout the world. You have a fan for life! Love you, and continued success in your endeavors.

  I have followed your music since your first appearence at the Playboy Jazz Festival in 1979.  You are a delight to see and hear.  You have always inspired me and my love for your music and your hearts.  You folks are the true spirit of what Jazz is all about.  You transend the boundries created by others.  I will always love your voices and your sound.  Please never quit the business and I hope you continue to grow with your creativity, it knows no bounds.  I wish all of you all the sucess and love that one can in your quest.

Hi John,
  It was great to finally meet you guys at Yoshi's! Our gospel album is finished and starts airing 7/25 on the East Coast. You told me to get your updated address when we finished. I would like to send copies to June and you.
  We really appreciate the support, and introducing us to Prof. Muramoto. Gospel music with koto, who would have thought?!! God, I guess!
  Thanks,

I absolutely love your music and have wished for a long time to see you in concert. I remember the first time I heard one of you guys pieces on the jazz station. I said to myself that I had to find out who it was, and ever since I did, I haven't been able to stop listening>< And although I'm just 16 at the time, I've grown to love your music with a passion. It's so peaceful and serene enough to calm me from any situation. Thank you so much for creating such wonderful music. It really is cool.

Aloha to you all. 
I remember making it a point to see the group whenever they participated during summertime in 'Jazz at Hilltop' in Richmond, CA back in the early nineties.  I truly enjoy your music.  Do you have any planned gigs on the Big island of Hawaii?  We were at the Hilton Waikoloa Dolphin Days Festival and the group's name came up so I was just wondering.  I will definitely be there!
Mahalo for your time.

We saw your show yesterday at Thornton Winery in Temecula, Calif., and it was sensational! (Poor June, who suffered in the blazing sun -- "God's spotlight," as Dan called it -- thankfully got some relief in the form of an audience member's big, red hat). Dan talked about keeping the joy of music alive and we could really see it in the performances. Thanks to all of you for sharing your music, and your many talents.

I was intoduced to Hiroshima in 1980 when I was in the US Air Force and living in the dorm with my roommate Ken Washington from Front Royal, VA.  He put you guys on the "record player" - LOL in our room because I play the alto sax and he said have you heard of this group.  I said NO,  the rest is HISTORY.  I have loved your music since that day in 1980 and have bought  every album/CD since.  I always think of my friend KEN when I play your music.  Thank you and HIM.

  I have waited too long to express my love for your music as I have every Casette (yes, I started with your first work - Hiroshima '80)with "Providence" being the last before everything became "CD's".  It's been a beautiful trip all these years as your band has changed but your music is still thilling to listen to.  I must say I miss the young ladies (vocals) that came and went also. I do hope you can do a live performance sometime here in Ohio....Columbus and/or Cincinnati???? Keep up with your great music....I'll be listening .....Love you guys !!!!  Tom Rogers, Your No.1 Ohio Fan !!!!

Thank you June & the band for playing that special engagement (just over a year ago) in honor of PJ & Roy of San Jose Taiko.  The music was phenominal!  Meeting you & the band while all of you autographed your pre-released CD was very special.  I bought an extra one, which I took to  Vancouver, B.C., Canada & gave it to my cousin. Your music is phenomenal!  I love listening you play the Koto. When I listen to you play it, I get 'lost in the music' & I almost feel transported to a Japan of the past ancient times. Your music is breathtaking! I remember hearing your music back in the 80's & thinking, "Wow!" You & your band are still very unique & genuine. What is very special is that you always take time to be gracious so all your fans, no matter how exhausted you must be  after doing a sold out concert.
Keep creating music that is unique. Anyone who hears your music, can tell it is "Hiroshima". Thank you.  Roz (San Jose, CA)

I went to L.A. High School where I first met and became friends with many Japanese and Jewish teens which I found were just like me..during that time I played "B" football and there was this guy that played center and was the toughest cat on the team. To my surprise as I grew closer to the music of Hiroshima I found that guy was with the group...John Mori! Thanks so much for the experience of beautiful music and keep up the good works!

Love your music and I have always enjoyed listening to the Koto. I wanted to know where in Los Angeles can I purchase the musical instrument and where can I find lessons as a beginner.

I grew up with quite a few Japanese American friends and I have always enjoyed learning about the Japanese culture.

I bought the Way of Tea along with two midori ball caps.  All of the songs are outstanding, the physical disc is attractive and very beautiful and I like the Earth-friendly packaging.  I'm now using the CD for doing Yoga and 'Tai Chi. I really appreciate your packaging it in such an Earth-friendly way.  It makes a lot of sense and is good for the environment.  I'll continue to purchase June's and Hiroshima CDs come what may but if the band continues to do so, it will make it easier for those in the burgeoning conservation movement to continue to purchase them.  Its' really appropriate and shows a great deal of spirituality that makes me glad to have gotten the CD.
The Way of Tea makes me think of the garden I'm planting and the sheer splendor of eating vegetables and drinking tea grown from one's own garden.
I neither read nor heard June's comments concerning Native Americans but it must've been something special.
My sister-in-law heard the Way of Tea while we drove back from the early morning Worship Service Wednesday and I think you just won another fan.

Hi, I'm a fan from Korea.

I heard '1000 cranes' from some Korean Radio Jazz Program and it was really haunting and soothing melody for me. Besides, you have unique and natural color of Asian and American smooth jazz! I have been a jazz and rock drummer and now I am studying piano for my own composition, So your music were very impressive and encouraging art works for me as an Asian musician. If you can make a schedule for Asian Tour,
Please visit my beautiful country, too.

Take care and
Hope to see you again~!

I brought my first CD of your music last year, and it has given me such joy! I had never heard of your group or music, but the title sounded appealing to me, so I chose Obon. It's the most listened CD I own! I brought it online from BMG Music, but when I went back to buy more of your CD's, they didn't have you listed, that's when I found your website. I first thought this was the onlly CD you made until I arrived at your site. Needless to say, I'm beside myself seeing you have so many more to enjoy. I will be buying more off your site if possible. I fell in love with your work and I hope you come the Philadelphia soon so I can enjoy your group in person. Thanks for you efforts and sound.:) Peace!

What a hugely wonderful concert last night in Phoenix AZ.
 We just love the "new" sound you are going for. You are always reinventing Hiroshima yet it still has a Hiroshima vein in it. "Red Bens and Rice" was fun and an excellant exmple of what we mean. Exciting. Keep it up.

You asked for suggestions of songs that must be on your "Best of ...CD" next year on your big anniversary.

Well you must have "Turning Point" and "One Wish".
there is no doubt that those two songs are among Hiroshima's best. 
 Thank you all,  Norm & Bev- Phoenix AZ

If I never got around to saying so, June, thank you for sending us the invitation to your private performance at the Buddhist Temple sometime back.  I wanted to express my gratitude in the mail but unfortunately lost the invitation and the return address in a flood in R's house.  Nevertheless for R and me, as members of the Iglesia Ni Cristo gratitude has no statute of limitations for us.  I regret having lost it and taking so long to show my appreciation for it.
I just ordered Way of Tea and can't wait to listen to it.  I really enjoyed Little Tōkyo, too. "Drama" was my favorite track.

We'd love to enjoy a live performance again, soon, so how about making a trip to Austin?  I know we have some friends here who'd love to experience Hiroshima live!

My wife and I used to see you every year at Humphreys in San Diego.  We've moved away but would travel back to catch one of your concerts in that beautiful venue.  Any chance that would happen for the 2008 season?

Ever since I listened to "Roomful of Mirrors," and "Kokoro" I have always tried my best to acquire all your albums. Fortunately, eight of them are now secure in my modest collection. I hope to get the rest and my wish of course, is to listen to you play live! Maybe when I get the chance to visit the US again.... do continue with your greatest talents and share it with the rest of us. thanks buddies!

I FIRST saw you guys, & the INCREDIBLE June, in July of 1993 during your PROVIDENCE Tour, at the Carter Baron Amphitheater in Washington D.C.

Eight ticket stubs later and holding onto a fading memory of another moving performance at the Birchmere in Annapolis, your East Coast Family is DYING for you to release a CONCERT DVD!! Please let your fans know that such a project is in the works. Finding bootleg copies of Hiroshima on YOUTUBE is BOTH near impossible and could NEVER do you justice!! Hope all is well with each of you and am eagerly waiting for a chance to pick up that ninth ticket stub!!

Should your promoters and mangers FINALLY agree that is is time to release a DVD, you MUST include past footage of Johnny playing the Taiko!! Your interactions and genuine caring for each other, over the years, has inspired millions to bring you into their circle of loved ones!

FINALLY, THANK YOU for playing TURNING POINT at the Birchmere!! It is MY favorite and one of the most beautiful songs I have EVER heard in my life!!

I am probably the only truckdriver fan that you have. I have been a fan since the 80's, when you were doing the Hawaiian Electric company promos on tv. Thats how I discovered you. I have only seen you once in concert. That was New Years Eve 1988(If I remember correctly). Hiroshima played at Blaisdell center in Honolulu. You probably don't recall that nite, but rainfall records were being made and broken around that day. It was raining so hard you could hear the rain pound on the roof of Blaisdell center between songs. In the moutains east of Honolulu, there were record mudslides that were tearing  up streets and roads.
But I remember that nite fondly, mostly because of the awsome performance you put on. I look forward to seeing you again, perhaps if you ever get to the Atlanta, Ga. area. Sincerely, John K. Cochrane

Dear Hiroshima

I bought "Little Tokyo" about a week ago and have played it many times.  I'd just like to thank you all for providing me with so many great hours of listening pleasure over the years.  I am inspired by your musical message.  I think the first tape I bought was "Go" or "East".  I've got just about everything you ever recorded.  It would be hard for me to single out one particular recording because I like them all so much.  It's New Year's Eve of 2007.  I sincerely wish all of you an outstanding year in 2008 and please release another collection of tunes soon!  You should do a collaboration with Brian Auger and then my two favorite bands/artists on the planet would be performing together!! 

It's hard for me to do justice in mere words to how deeply your music resonates with me.  I play it a lot.  I replay it in my mind a lot.  It speaks to me deeply. 

with the very highest regards

You released an album in 1981 or 1982 that had a song that either has lyrics that goes .. "ooh, fortune teller won't you tell me what it means ..".
Can you tell me the title of the song and/or the album and whether it is available for purchase?

Hiroshima,

We just attended your 6th Annual "Spirit of the Season" holiday concert in Little Tokyo. This was our 3rd time.

Again, you each performed brilliantly and with great heart. Guest stars Terry Steele, Tets Nakamura and Yvette Nii were memorable. Terry's "The Door is Open" was great to hear in person again. Tet's harmonica playing was mesmerizing.

We attended your outdoor concert during the summer at the Westlake Village (CA) Hyatt Hotel. We were exposed for the first time to your songs from the "Little Tokyo" album. Wow! The "Sir Charles" cut wanted to make me stand up and move to the music and the beat. We attended your past concerts at the Wolftrap Farm Amphitheater in Vienna, Virginia when we lived in northern Virginia. 

We have been loyal Hiroshima fans from your  earliest days. We are loyal to you because of your wonderful music, your loyalty to your fans and your loyalty to the local community. Although you have become successful and well-known, we appreciate your humility and accessibility. You have truly expanded yourselves as musicians and people.

June, Dan, Danny, Kimo, Dean and Shoji: Thanks for continuing to bless us with great music. Keep up the good work. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2008.

I remember going to dances in L.A. in the early 70's when Hiroshima used to perform - Blarney Castle, Roger Young, etc.  Your musical performances left a lasting impression on me, and I enjoy your music even more so today.

I missed your previous performances the last time you were in Phoenix.  I hope your schedule includes the Valley of the Sun!  Would love to see you again after these many years!

While attending college in the early eighties in the Monterey Park area, I was exposed to your musio at the same time I was first introduced to sushi, and the SJ's with their lowered cars in the area. I will forever be hooked on your music and will try to update my collection beyond Go and East which are precious gems by themselves. In the Palm Springs area, where I now live, I feel that your music would be a perfect fit for the Mccallum Theater in Palm Desert, CA.  It is an upscale concert hall that could use a class act such as Hiroshima.  Please come out to the desert area to visit us.  There are very few concerts that I can bring my kids to. Come take a ride on the Palm Springs Aerial Tram if you haven't done so yet.  Take care and keep up the great work that you do.
Sincerely reminiscing, Pete Johnson

I have enjoyed your music for many years. I remember you once had a concert scheduled here in Portland, but it was cancelled. When I saw that you were performing in Seattle, I decided to go for it. My wife and I drove up on Sunday and saw your performance. I can't do justice to the experience of finally seeing and hearing you. My wife and I were both in tears. We love your music and we love your style and your heart. June's story about being mistaken for Keiko Matsui was revealing and heartwarming. It was an expensive weekend and a terrible drive home in the rain, but seeing you and hearing you was more rewarding than I can find words for. We will never forget you and that evening with you. I hope we can see you again.  Much love to all of you...

Hello Hiroshima,

Thank you for all the years of great music!  your music is so relaxing and calming to listen to, and I love that it's become so multi-cultural.  I attended your concert at the Radisson in Sacramento around 1991 with my then-ten year old daughter.  Iloved it, and was lucky enough to see you one other time at the Radisson (I think) and also at the top of the Hyatt (my memory is the greatest!)  I hope you'll perform in Sacramento again sometime.  I used to talk to Randy, an employee at the former Tower Records, and he told me how he'd get together with you when Hiroshima performed in Sac.  The first Hiroshima album I bought was the GO album; I fell in love with that album and Hiroshima!  I was exposed to the album on our local smooth jazz station, at that time called The Point, KQPT, 100.5.  My all-time favorite Hiroshima song is A Thousand Cranes; I just love it. It's so beautiful. I have all your CD's now except ODORI.  While trying to buy three CD's from Amazon.com last night to get free shipping, I looked for ODORI, but the one copy that is unopened was selling for about $75.00 (thru an indiviual seller). Other used, opened copies start at @$35.00.  Needless to say, I checked the Hiroshima site, only to find ODORI is out of stock.  I hope it will be back in stock soon so I can purchase it and complete my Hiroshima collection :-)  Meanwhile, I will periodically check your tour schedule and see if I can catch a concert in San Francisco or Oakland sometime...or maybe even in Sacramento?!

June, I have purchased your first CD, and I love it!  I will be ordering The Way of Tea in the near future. 
Enough rambling...Happy Holidays to all of you...soon I'll be playing Spirit of the Season again.

Maybe some day we'll get to see you play live.  Say hi to Eimie for me, please.

I have been a fan of yours since... well I can't even remember how long but I saw you in Cleveland, OH a long time ago.  I think June was kneeling on the stage and beating the Koto like a crazed woman, your percussion player was a short stocky fellow and you sounded wonderful. So fast forward to my trip to Las Vegas of Nov.2007 when I was so fortunate to see you perform again. I brought with me a new wife, who listens to county music, her son and his wife who are urban listeners and wife's cousin who speaks no English. You now have four more fans. I saw the fountains at the Bellagio, The "O" and all of the neon and things that glitter but you my friends were the icing on the cake for this guy.  What more can I say?  Thank you for your unusual style of smooth jazz with an edge. God bless you all in the future.

Hi,
   I saw Hiroshima at the Railhead @ Boulder Station last night,and,as usual,they were GREAT!! However, about 80% of the way through the concert the "old folks" left the stage and let the 2 drummers do a duet. It might be the most incredible thing I've ever seen or heard at any concert. Ever! And I'm no kid anymore, sadly.
   The group is still so tight,and I've seen them at least 20 times.
   Come back to Vegas soon,and even if I'm the only one there, I promise I'll be on my feet the whole time.
Thanks, Jeff

Growing up in SoCal, Gardena, Hiroshima was a community band that a young Asian-American, Sansei could identify with. My memories of Roger Young Aud, playing Bob Kihara's wedding, trying to keep former Bass-player, Dane Matsumura awake in history after he had played a gig Sunday night, not sue if Dane was play with Beaudry Xpress at that time.
Anyway have been a fan/support since "back in the day" days.
It's been a great run, and hope it will continue.
Hope to see you in Seattle in a couple weeks.

My favorites:  "Distant Thoughts", "Another Place", "Thousand Cranes", "Swiss Ming".

I'm sorry that we couldn't stay longer and thank you in person, but I will show my thanks by grabbing a copy of LITTLE TOKYO and enjoying all the tracks you played at the show one more time - especially "Sir Charles" and "Red Beans And Rice." (That track makes me HUNGRY!) ;-)

As always, y'all just say the word and we'll have tickets in hand again when you make it back this way next year. Just keep "makin' it do what it do!" Take care and "Aloha!"

Hiroshima is one of the greatest bands in the world. A disc jockey turned me on to their sound back in the early 90's and have listened to them ever since. I'm a disabled Vet and have a lot medical problems but when I listen to their music it calms me down and relaxes me greatly their music is better medicine then what I take. I hope someday you will give a concert here in Tulsa Oklahoma because I would be the first in line to buy tickets. Just keep making music and don't ever stop. I appreciate your unique sound and talent.

Just wanted to give a shout out to Hiroshima for a smooth groovin' time at Yoshi's.  Very mellow set with specs of subtlety and humor sprinkled throughout.  I noticed that your performance was being taped that night.  Where can a person pick up a "Hiroshima in Concert Live" DVD ?  We have parties now and then, and we usually have our plasma's going with some sort of live concert going on in the background in different rooms.  would be slammin' to have you guys live on DVD.

June, keep doin' what your doin with the fellas. Stay true to your heart, as you have always done.


God bless

Hiroshima,

My wife and I caught the sept 15, 8pm show at Yoshi's. We both enjoy all your songs, or ballads. You see, the last time we seen hiroshima was at the circle star theater. At this time I was courting my wife. Well, its been 25 years later, and we are still sticking together, as well as you. Of course, "One wish" is always memorable, along with the new "Shades of honor". We both love June. However, like she mentioned, i might not recognize her in a crowd. I believe the front row kept the chopsticks. Ha, Ha.  I especially appreciated a small part of the show when june mentioned, a creation of an album, with the spirit and soul of "Native Americans". My wife poked me in the ribs, and told me to stand up. Ha, Ha. Well, how can we show you much appreciation. My wife and I would like to sign off ............and say.................. "THANK YOU".     J.J.

I have listened to Hiroshima for 25 years fist seeing them on American Bandstand!! The versatility of their music, the sometimes subtle or strong Japanese influence is awesome. I have listened to many other Asian musicians, but they are just not the seem. I have several 'vinyl' albums by them, downloaded songs from the internet and even watched a cooking show because this group provided the theme music. Guess I am a fan huh? Well, for sure if they still perform, I will seek a front row seat.

My favorite song by you is "ISLAND WORLD." Thank God that I have been exposed to your music, Hiroshima. You all have talent and you all are very humble. Rock on! Or should I say, Jazz it up!
Do you guys have guitar tablature? I play guitar and would love to learn some of your songs.

I love how you put "One Wish" at the end of every show (at least all the ones I have been to).  LOVE it!  Can you put "One Wish" at the end of every album?  That would be PERFECT!!!

I LOVE June's "Way of Tea" with just piano. I am giving it as gifts to all my friends who love classical piano and Japanese culture!  This is a perfect combination of the best of all cultures: Jazz, Japan, piano, classical music, and Hiroshima!  LOVE IT!

June: Please KEEP IT UP!

Thank You!

I have been following Hiroshima ever since I was in Japan in 1986.  I have all their cd's and will continue to listen to them because they help me to relax from a hard day.  I am planing to see them for the first time live in October at Arturo's  I Love Hiroshima , please keep making the great music you have always been making.  I was in the U.S. Air Force and I stayed in Misawa Japan for four years and that was my greatest experience of all my life. I have learned more from the Japanese then in other culture and  listening to Hiroshima helps me to relive my adventures in Japan. Thanks Hiroshima for everything.

To the wonderful Hiroshima band:
I miss hearing your band in concert since moving to the midwest 8 years ago.( We used to live in Northern
California. ) I have listened to your extraordinary talent at the beautiful Paul Masson Winery in Saratoga, CA.  We look forward to hearing you live, in- concert in the future. I still listen to your CD's and admire your music tremendously!  Let me know if you plan on a concert in the Minneapolis area.  I know you would be a big hit here in fly over country.  Visit soon!  Very cool city here and great  appreciation for musicians.

Whenever I want to listen to music whether I'm travelling or just relaxing at home alone or with friends (and by the way if friends aren't familiar with your name and your music they are by the time they leave)I'm always taken to another place and time; your music is so soothing and the words send me into a deep mellow mood...keep on playing and singing Hiroshima, for you are loved more than you'll ever know by so many; especially myself. God Bless!

My husband, Fred, and I have been listening to your beautiful music since the mid-1960's as teenagers at Roger Young Auditorium.  Fred was from the eastside and I was from the westside too, just as you, Dan and June!  We have followed you from the Los Angeles arena to Washington DC (Wolftrap) over 16 years and back to California-- witnessing your generosity in musical offerings at events in J-Town.  What a pleasant surprise it was to find you last weekend in our backyard, Westlake Village.  Fred evolved over the years with your movements in jazz and loves your latest cd, Little Tokyo, especially the cut "Sir Charles," which he has been listening to incessantly.  We watched your performance on Aug 18 with tears of joyous memories rolling down our cheeks.  Congratulations on your lifetime of accomplishments.

Hi from Victoria, if memory serves,you played in Vancouver some years ago. At Humphrey's in 1990, as I was waiting for your show to begin, a security man stopped June and I heard her tell him,"I'm with the Band". You just may remember this, after the show,I came to the stage with a dance version of the record "Another Place" you all signed it for me.It wasn't til later I discovered I hadn't taken the $1.99 0r $2.99 price tag off. I want you to know that your evocative healing Music may well have contributed to my complete recovery from Cancer. Ongaku ichi ban.

I spoke to you manager and promised him i would watch the concert but to my chagrin my flight sched was cancelled. Still a flight attendant in Phil. Airlines and will definitely make it to Yoshi's this coming September. Hope you can sign my Vinyl Copy of the very first album you recorded with the hit Room full of mirrors, picture with Dan or June or both will be really great. Dying to hear and see you guys perform live hopefully you can also play some of the old songs. though im not sure if you have a female vocalist with your current band set up. Thousand Cranes hope you can play it or Why cant I love you, these two songs had a deep impact in my life. As always im your big fan in this side of the world,Domo's to your unique and venerable music and keep playing the koto for us June.See you guys soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was blinded by the blast as an 8 years old and now lives in the U.S. He has a new book coming out (August 2007) Hiroshima; Bridge to Forgiveness and is talking always about forgiving his enemies and making a bridge between the two cultures. He truly a lovely spirit..I am hoping when you come to Oakland in September he will be my guest at your concert....

Dearest Hiroshima,

Your music is beyond "magical". I have been listening to your hypnotic sound ever since 1986, as a child in middle school, and have never forgotten the surreal harmonic bliss your music has attained. Hiroshima is beyond beautiful. I finally had the chance to go to Tokyo and while there, played your music as I walked through the city, thinking of how lovely the culture is, the people and how beautiful it is when you fuse Jazz with African American sounds and the cultural and historic sounds of Japanese musical artistry. You will always be my number (#1) group, forever. If you are ever playing in the Greensboro, North Carolina area, please send me information regarding the dates. I'd love to see you in concert. May you forever continue to harmonize, synchronize, and magically hypnotize our ears with your beautiful artistic sounds. Forever, Hiroshima!!!

Hello,

I am a Japanese living in San Antonio, TX.  I usually tune in "Bay Smooth Jazz" internet radio station.  Every time I hear a characteristic music, the Koto sound, and the melody, I check who is playing.  That's Hiroshima. 

So, today, I finally googled what it is, and found this site.  It's interesting how you integrate Koto into a jazz sound! 

Thanks for your beautiful music.
