[about Tomoyo Azusa]
Piano player Tomoyo HORIBE and marimba player Azusa NAKAMURA.

They spent six years as classmates of all the same music course through senior and high school.

While Azusa is unfettered and talented, Tomoyo is earnest and prudent.
In their school days, they were only classmates. However, after graduation, it was happened that they got friendly and started to play music together.

They played together in Azusa's rookie concert and solo recital right after graduation of university.

Then, they started performing as "Tomoyo Azusa" in Yokohama, Kawasaki, Tokyo and other places.

In 2006, the first duo recital was held in Yokohama Kanack Hall. The venue has been moved to the Minato Mirai Hall since then, and the recital has been held every year.

They did not only have guest appearance on many other events of hotels, universities, and salon concerts, but were also introduced on TV and radio.

The attitude to work on music is in common between Azusa and Tomoyo, but still there are difference. Azusa, who is Flexible and sensitive, and Tomoyo, who is analytic and theoretical, recognizes their difference as strength each other and grew up as duo.

As both of them are birds lover, each of them has cockatiel.
