It started when I was 16, when I came into contact with a harp in my high school music room, and I was fascinated by its sound and aspired to become a professional. The harp and flute duo [StressFree] (Stress Free) was formed and active for about 10 years until 2021. In addition to classical music, they play various genres of music such as popular jazz, chanson, and Celtic music. In addition, he has expanded his range of activities in various forms other than performances, such as collaborating with dance and performing on stage as an actor and music director. In recent years, he has been focusing on Irish harp performances, playing techniques, and historical exploration activities. From 2019 to 2024, I actually went to love and learned about authentic Irish culture and lifestyle.” A multiplayer player who, in addition to planning concerts, also directs and composes under the motto of “harp that adapts to any environment.”

In April of the same year, he entered Saitama Prefectural Nanryo High School due to special measures. I didn't want to be touched on by the earthquake, so when I was looking for a club activity with few members, I came across koto at the club activity “Japanese pop club,” which was on the verge of being abolished and had 0 members. “Koto,” which I met by chance with support from many people, healed my heartbreak, and now “I want to be a ray of hope for those who have been hurt.” With that in mind, they are active nationwide. In 2020, in addition to making a major debut as the handsome Japanese musical instrument performance group “Sakuramen” from Avex, he also appeared on many media programs such as NHK-E TV's “Nippon Entertainment,” “Good Morning Japan,” and TV Asahi's “25 Years Old ~ The Beginning of Passion.” They value “the fun of expressing oneself,” and continue to challenge various styles through sound.
