She inherited the "Serve to Music" philosophy from world-renowned pianist Maria Pires, and studied composition theory analysis, including polyphonic harmony, in order to faithfully translate the composer's intentions. Her mother, a harpist with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, taught her the education of practicing 1 hours a day for 8 years, which became a hot topic, and she appeared on popular TV talk shows such as "Odoru! Sanma Goten" and "Matsuko Deluxe DX," ranking first in Google searches. Her CD "Sleeping Harp" (Nippon Columbia) became a bestseller and ranked first in Amazon sales, after a brain scientist proved that it has a healing effect on helping you sleep at night.
