Request for your sponsorship 

Thank you very much for your warm support for my activities. Thank you for your warm support for my activities.

As many of you already know, I am taking a new step forward in 2022, focusing mainly on my career as a flutist.
I am pleased to announce that I will be recording as a flutist in January 2025, which has been a longtime dream of mine, with my dear friend, the wonderful pianist Josh Nelson from the United States. However, in order to make this project a success, we need your help. Please support us in our music production.

:About Josh Nelson:

Josh Nelson is a pianist/composer born in Southern California. He has performed with Benny Golson, George Mraz, Jeff Hamilton, and many other greats. He was also selected at an early age to play in Natalie Cole’s band and toured with her for six years. In recent years, he has participated as a pianist in the recordings of legendary clarinetist Eddie Daniels.He has also provided arrangements.

He and Ishikawa have been friends for over 10 years, having first performed together in 2013. Josh’s musicality is my “ideal”. He has a wonderful piano tone, original compositions, and a sense of harmony that moves the heart…all of these qualities make him a first-rate talent. Unlike my previous works, this time I am seeking Josh’s musical support to provide his works and co-create arrangements.
We are working hard every day to create music that will move you.
