VOICE

“Miyuki (Ikuyi Minat) is an absolute rock’n’roll and blues star on the drums. (I can only imagine what she will do in the future… jazz/fusion/African/Latin/etc.) Her ability to create a rhythm of passion and tension is nothing short of remarkable. I have been a musician since the age of 2, and it is rare to find a music partner who brings out the best in me, and who brings out the best in the band, with a clear feeling that projects into the audience and beyond. Collaborating with Miyuki on every stage we have shared (from Japan, to Vietnam, to Macau) has been a thrilling experience for me and all those present. ”

“For our New York exhibition, she created a beautiful piece of music. What moved us most was that she wove the sound of our looms—a lullaby-like noise we’ve grown up with—into the track itself.”
— CEO, Mr. Sakata of Sakata Orimono (Japan’s only Kurume Kasuri textile maker)

“When we performed treatments with her music, guests fell asleep noticeably faster…We could feel the low frequencies resonating deep into the abdomen—it was incredibly soothing. The sound felt so rich and immersive that it reminded me of the deep sea.”
— Ms. Watanabe, Top Therapist from Goku no Kimochi (JAPAN)

“My body went into deep relaxation; my breath naturally settled. My heart softened and my brain regained its quiet.
It felt less like ‘listening to music’ and more like my nervous system meeting waves of sound and synchronizing with them.”
