    i dont know why i start crying when ever i hear sakura sakura by kimio eto ...
  • So beautiful, my kids and I found an old shellac record of Japanese music at the thrift store and fell in love. My 5 year old son amazed me by playing the opening notes of Sakura Sakura on the piano. I was so proud he’d figured it all by himself with no one’s help. He also had a little Japanese girlfriend at preschool. Thank you for such a beautiful performance.

    Wow! She’s probably one of the greatest koto musicians alive today. Thank you for sharing.
  • When a musician plays or sings from the heart with all their heart, there is no mistaking the connection they have to their gift of music. She is a true musician, and a master of this instrument. Thank you.
  • Beautiful, relaxing and sophisticated, thank you for that performance.

    I like how distinctive every string stroke is! And this is what makes koto charming and intriguing in a way. Unlike chinese guzheng (which I also enjoy) koto is more about strong emotional expression rather than transfering a beautiful melody
  • This is so beautiful. Somehow you managed to capture something so bittersweet about this time. Going to share this with my students. Thank you!!!
  • Lots of love from India (インド) awasome playing 😍, my goal is someday I will definately learn Japnese Language, come to Japan and learn how to play Koto or Shamisen.🤗😀😀.
  • Found late at night. It made the back of my neck prickle. Loved the bright counterpoint of the picks on the fingers against the warmth of the bare fingers executing the melody line. It's not easy to bend the strings to get notes not occuring in the string's tuning. So lovely 💮🌸
  • Hi Shirley, I keep coming back to this recital aa to me it is the best rendition of “Sukura” I have heard. 🙏
