What to Expect

🎸 Guitar visionary Hikaru Tanimoto @hikaru_jp_acoustic meets sanshin vocalist Nana Miyagi, two Japanese artists redefining tradition and technique.

Join together for their "Okinawa Music" Tour through North Gate!

Hikaru (Hokkaido) is a revolutionary acoustic guitarist who turns one guitar into an orchestra: percussion, slap bass, tapping,
and global tones from India, Spain, Africa, and the Caribbean.
His music has appeared in Nissan commercials, SEGA’s Sonic and the Black Knight, and the official hide (X JAPAN) tribute album.
A Top 20 Japanese Guitarist (Swing Journal 2010), he’s toured Fuji Rock, Music China, NAMM, and Thai festivals.

Nana, based on Miyako Island, Okinawa, brings the soul of the sanshin into the modern age.
Blending ancient island melodies with club music, DJ collabs, and world fusion, her original song “Urizun” captures Okinawa’s spirit through rich vocals
and self-written lyrics.

Two worlds, one stage — acoustic fire meets island soul.
