Makoto Kawamoto is a singer-songwriter who made her major debut in 1996 with "Talent of Love," has produced numerous hits, and has continued to thrive across genres—from band projects and songwriting to authoring picture books and singing in commercials. Following last year’s highly acclaimed first Billboard Live tour, performances in Tokyo and Osaka are set again this year. She will perform with the German brass band Hochzeitskapelle, opening new territory with songs from her latest album, "Hikari." It promises to be a special night featuring Billboard Live–style song selections and performances.
