Nice to meet you. My name is Ayu Kamihirata, and I’m a pianist.

I’ve been living with music since the age of three, and there have been many times when music has truly supported me.

I believe in the power of music to bring people together—the listeners, the performer, and the sound itself—sharing moments of joy and connection through each performance.

With humility and gratitude, I will continue to devote myself to my musical journey.
Thank you very much for your support.
