With her shamisen and her catchy rhythms, she introduces the beauty and sophistication of Japanese culture to the world, through her original songs and her traditional and pop music. Although completely involved in her music, Yuzu Natsumi is a versatile artist who devotes herself to many activities, from performances in live houses, to the presentation of radio programs. And as a defender of Kiyari, a traditional music from Tokyo, she performs this art as a member of the first entirely female professional group of Kiyari. Far from just performing in Japan, to share her love of traditional Japanese culture, she travels all around the world, from the United States, Europe to Asia.
