Of course I know Tokuhide Niimi. I played a lot of pieces of him a couple of years ago. It's not difficult if you know how to play it. Actually I had a lot of fun with those pieces :)

I'm a Nobuo Uematsu fan, but more of a Koji Kondo or Hip Tanaka fan. I've recorded many of the last two's works.

From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.
