I am a vibraphonist, marimba artist, and composer based in Japan, known for original music that is rich in melody, energy, and emotional storytelling. I lead the “Fumiko Yamazaki Quartet, with which I have released five original albums. I also collaborate in various other ensembles, including a trio with ocarina and vibraphone, and a vocal trio. I write and arrange music not only for my own projects, but also for other artists and units, contributing to multiple album productions. My music blends genres—jazz, fusion, progressive rock, and electronic styles—performed both acoustically and with electronic vibraphones. My live performances are dynamic, emotional, and deeply connective. I have also appeared on national TV music programs in Japan. I am passionate about music education and regularly perform for and teach children. My interactive concerts and workshops are especially popular among young audiences, and I believe music is a joyful way to empower and connect people. At the heart of everything I do is love. I believe music can cross borders, touch hearts, and bring us together. I would be honored to share this joyful energy with the world through international collaborations. In addition to concerts and festivals, I welcome the chance to offer performances and workshops at kindergartens and schools as part of cultural exchange. I believe music can plant seeds of joy and curiosity in young hearts.
