Some artists just go and play, and I have no objections to that - but I don't like to do that. People take their very precious time to come to my concert, and they give me the opportunity to share two hours of their lives. I want to do the best I can, for visuals, sound and everything!
HiromiI love performing so much! The joy is to have the opportunity to be able to perform all around the world.
HiromiI started to listen to Japanese jazz musicians when I went to high school. Some people I listened to were Yosuke Yamashita, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Sadao Watanabe.
HiromiI have to be very original and have a strong musical voice. I don't want to be a copycat of anybody.
