Get intoxicated with Jazz at Ginza Ins 2-2F

It's Take-chan tonight. The long-established jazz club "Ginza Swing" was founded in 1976. The interior of the store is a stylish space with grand pianos, where you can enjoy live performances full of realism. Lives are held every day from 18:00 to 23:00 from Monday to Saturday. You can enjoy jazz and Latin music along with high-quality meals.

Kana Fuefuki and Yukari Inoue, who were fascinated by the live performance at Kyobashi "Edgran" on February 26, 2023, and Remi who listened to a wonderful singing voice at Ginza "The Deep" on April 12, 2023, Hitomi Aikawa, who has also participated in the NHK Red and White Singing Battle for about 10 years ago, will perform "Ginzaing!"

Mr. Remi on vocal

Remi's mission is "to make the listener happy on the way home." This time, he also listened to songs of various genres, such as the standard number of moist Jazz, the Japanese nursery rhyme "Furusato", and "3 Bikinokuma" composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto. Between the stages, the recently visited Italian souvenirs were handed to each customer. The chocolate was delicious, Remi!

Remi's motto is "Singing with a firm understanding of the meaning of words." Needless to say, Remi's soul was included in each song, and "Take-chan" was in a good mood.

Kana Fuefuki on Shinobue, Flute

Kana Fuefuki is a professional flute player who boldly challenges various music genres, including Jazz. A unique musician who can listen to expressive sounds using various air lead instruments such as Shinobue, ocarina, and shakuhachi. This time, he freely manipulated flute and Shinobue with songs and listened to improvisation (improvisational performance).

He has been active not only in Japan, but also in various places on the earth, including New York, Los Angeles, France, Germany, Israel, Malaysia, and Taiwan. I'm going to go to Western Europe soon.

Hitomi Aikawa on percussion

I listened to Hitomi Aikawa's percussion for the first time. In a nutshell, "It's super nice!" 。 And comfortable. I felt the duality of delicateness and boldness.

The background is also amazing! In 2006, he won second place in the DUO section of the Bulgaria International Percussion Competition. He has performed with many celebrities such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Eri Watanabe, Taro Hakase. On New Year's Eve in 2013, he appeared as a member of Yoshihide Otomo & Amachan Special Big Band in the NHK Red and White Singing Battle. Two years ago, "Hilnandes!" "A great success in a certain world! Who are you? I also appeared! He has a brilliant career.

Popular pianist Yukari Inoue, who has been active live about 250 times a year. Yukari Inoue himself has a very elegant atmosphere, but the performance is also elegant.

In the past, he appeared as a regular pianist on NHK-BS music program "Splendid Music Friends". Norio Maeda, Kentaro Haneda, Tokiko Kato, Eiji Kitamura, Hiromi Iwasaki, and Harumi Miyako have a brilliant career that has performed beyond the boundaries of genres with a total of 300 sets of guests.

When you listen to live performances, you often encounter surprises. This surprise was Kisaburo Umeya, who was visiting the store as a customer. I think you probably negotiated between the stages, but they performed wonderfully on the 2nd stage. Kisaburo Umeya was a professional Japanese musical instrument performer, saying, "I rarely have a session with Jazz," but as expected, professional. He successfully blended into the members and listened to the very cool performance and the shouts of "Ya", "Ha", "Yoi", and "No".

Kisaburo Umeya has also participated in many domestic performances such as dance performances hosted by the National Theater, as well as overseas performances such as Western and Asian performances. He also appeared in Taiga drama series "E", "Yae no Sakura", "Gunshi Kanbe" and "Sanada Maru". He seems to be active mainly in dance performances and concerts in Japan and overseas.
