Akiko with Atsushi Yanaka (Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra)
Overview
Since debuting as the first Japanese female singer for the prestigious jazz label Verve, jazz singer akiko has continued to create with her own sensibility, absorbing a wide range of music beyond the boundaries of jazz. In recent years, she has served as the music producer for director Sayaka Kai’s film “徒花” and released the story-inspired album Fulfilled Emptiness – inspired by ADABANA, drawing attention for the sharp sensibility that makes her voice stand out.
Now, she takes the stage at Billboard Live Tokyo with Atsushi Yanaka, the bari saxophonist of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Beyond her own band activities, Yanaka—whose broad musical knowledge spans jazz, Brazilian music, and film scores—will curate and produce a program featuring jazz, Brazilian, and film-music classics in a luxurious showcase.
Additionally, a precious duet with Yanaka, which was well received at last October’s Yokohama performance, will be performed. Don’t miss this premium night as the two world-class artists deliver exquisite sound and superb performances.
