Hideki Togi
Overview
Born into a family that has inherited gagaku for 1,300 years since the Nara period, Hideki Togi—pioneer who fused gagaku with Western music—continues to perform vigorously both in Japan and abroad, and will appear at Billboard Live. After graduating from high school, he trained with the Imperial Household Agency’s Gagaku Department, designated as an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Japan, and has carried the duty of introducing Japan’s traditional culture and fostering international goodwill as a gagaku master admired worldwide. At the same time, he has devoted himself to composing original pieces that harness gagaku’s distinctive flavor together with piano and synthesizers, and in 2023 he completed “Neo TOGISM,” an album that brought gagaku into the realm of progressive rock—the genre he has cherished since his youth. And now, as he continues to embody a one-of-a-kind music through cross-genre collaborations, what sort of performance will he unveil on the Billboard Live stage? We invite you to fully experience the magical world of sound created by the fusion of modern electronic instruments and traditional instruments.
