After the First Night at Blue Note Tokyo
Blue Note Tokyo tour started!
The first and second sets went so so excited and I was so happy to perform with such wonderful musicians. The lovely voice of Dora Morelenbaum added a truly special touch to the evening.It already feels a little bittersweet knowing there are only three days left, but I’m looking forward to enjoying every moment.
Thank you so much to everyone who came out in the heavy rain tonight. I truly appreciate your support.

Grateful for the Precious Connections Made in Bangkok, Thailand
We are filled with gratitude after an incredible time in Bangkok.
We were deeply honored to be hosted at the Official Residence of the Ambassador of Japan. It was truly a special experience to share such wonderful music and hospitality.
Our media convention and mini-live performance at The Peninsula Bangkok were also a huge success, thanks to everyone's support. Exploring the delicious variety of Thai cuisine with the band members was a highlight of this Asian mini-tour that we will never forget.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone in Thailand for the warm welcome. We truly hope to see you all again very soon!

A Heartfelt Thank You for Your Warm Support at Zepp Kuala Lumpur
Thank you so much to everyone in Malaysia for the incredible support! From the very first song, the energy in Zepp was absolutely electric.
We traveled through Bossa Nova, Jazz, and Latin Rock, performed "Jinsei no Tobira" and "Yelaixiang," and closed the night with a massive, heartwarming singalong of "Bengawan Solo" and "Rasa Sayang".
I am so grateful for this beautiful experience. Thank you, Malaysia—I can't wait to see you all again!

A Beautiful Afternoon of Music and Gratitude at Koganei Miyaji Gakki Hall
Today, I had the pleasure of performing at the Koganei Miyaji Gakki Hall.
Despite the concerns surrounding the typhoon and the heavy rain at times, I am deeply grateful to the many people who came out to join us.
In this beautifully intimate, classical venue, I was joined by Masaki Hayashi on piano. We performed several pieces from my new album, "Sue Ann," along with some classic Japanese songs and jazz standards. Sharing these moments with you was truly a wonderful and joy-filled experience.
I also want to thank everyone who stopped by for the autograph session and shared such kind words. Thank you so much for traveling through the stormy weather to be there with me. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
