🎹 Riyoko's channel: youtube.com/@riyopiano website: riyoko.jp 🎸 Yosuke's channel: www.youtube.com/@FlywayLABEL Here Riyoko 🎹 and Yosuke Onuma 🎸 are performing live 'Sicily' by Chick Corea. This is the first time Riyoko and Yosuke performed together and there was minimal preparation involved. This performance was recorded on 12 September 2023 at MZES Tokyo (copyright holder, I don't own any rights to this recording). Here's full performance with intro guitar improv ruclips.net/video/gp2Vkzw0tpU/видео.html and you can follow Riyoko live with me here youtube.com/@Riyo-Live Riyoko has prepared about a dozen of wonderful originals for 2023: ruclips.net/video/PJdCXuHUVbg/видео.html (Riyoko's live 2023 originals compilation) and here's 2 hours of beautiful improvised piano by Riyoko: ruclips.net/video/q4XHwaUuqeU/видео.html to enjoy. Riyoko is an amazing live artist and even though I prefer live versions of nearly everything Riyoko has recorded on the albums, I still own all of Riyoko's discography going back to 2009 and urge everyone to grab Riyoko's albums to help support this magnificent independent artist. Where to buy Riyoko's albums: www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/discography/riyoko-takagi where I maintain BUY links Alternatively, you can use some eBayer that deals with Japanese exports, my go to is www.ebay.com/str/keyprojectjapan Riyoko is a world-class Japanese Jazz pianist and composer who isn't bound by a single genre or style and has crossed classical, traditional Japanese, pop, EDM, and anime genre boundaries and styles in her compositions, arrangements, and performances. She's a classically trained prodigy and has been playing piano since age 4 and for well over 3 decades, latter 2 of which she dedicated to Jazz. She's renowned for her musicality, deep harmonic understanding, live performances full of energy with fluent improvisations, and delicate touch on the keys. Together with her talent and charming character she continues to proliferate Jazz and attract many fans from all over the world. You can learn more about Riyoko and sample more of her music from playlists on my channel home. Riyoko doesn't really make short clips of her music and a lot of her music and performances are missing from her own channel due to Japanese copyright laws, where venues own all the rights to recordings on their premises. Because of that Riyoko can't freely share a lot of her music with us. But an artist like this should be shared with the world, so I'm making it rain on my channels.
Yea her repertoire is hundreds of songs. Her TV job alone is responsible for 200 new songs per year. I've been listening to her TV rehearsals she uploads to TikTok for a year already, there are probably no repeats, I haven't noticed any. Those requests come in and you got to be ready to play live on a short notice and she does it as a fun side gig. 😅 I uploaded 'Englishman in New York' by Sting on the other channel today to match places/cities theme ruclips.net/video/95XeKK6CioI/видео.html
