My story

I was born in Niigata, very close to the Sea of Japan, I have a twin sister with whom I composed albums and sang in duet.

We grew up together in a family of artists my father was in the cinema at TOHô and my mother was a theater actress ansi than a fashion designer.

​

I attended primary school in Aoyama, Tokyo, this city is also famous for its appeal to fashion.

I did my high school in Kyoto, majoring in music, a city rich in history, the former capital of feudal Japan.

​

With the help of my parents and their encouragement I was able to learn music en especially the piano the flute ferry. 

​

My warmest memories are when I started writing my own songss I felt free as the wind. 

​

at 20, I left Japan and arrived in France, I entered the Conservatory of Music, and I discovered Parisian life, French culture, its monuments, its great authors.rs, composers.

​

But during one of the first music contests I took part in, I couldn't resist playing a solo piece of Japanese flute to celebrate my country.

​

It was a piece for the transverse flute with the style of shakuhachi, a famous flautist member of the jury suggested this idea to me why don't you specialize in the traditional flute of your country? 

It was so obvious that I had never thought of it.

​

After that, I became aware of my Japanese identity, and I deepened all the cultural riches of my country, the flute, singing, dancing, crafts such as sewing.

​

But my awareness could only hatch in France, it's my second country of hearts and it's thanks to. France that I was able to find out who I was.

 

I feel inhabited by a mission I want to forge links between France and Japan, and to fight the treasures of our crafts.
