Brilliant composition and playing Choujou! If you don't mind me asking, who are some of your influences? Just before I watched this, I was listening to some of Ryuichi Sakamoto's work, and I can't help but notice some similarities in tone/vibe.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi Seikan,
Thank you very much! And not at all! Most of my influences are the classical composers; Beethoven, Bach etc. but I am trying to expand into more contemporary composers and pieces when I can. The start of this for me, and some people
laugh a little, but was Yanni. His style and way of playing I find very captivating, and he also taught himself and developed his own style, which I admire. For years I actually didn’t listen to a lot of music so as not to be influenced as much and to try to reach my own creative core, so to speak. But I am very happy to have a piano again and look forward to exploring and creating more!

Thank you everyone for watching, for your support, and for all the kind words! That means a lot to me… as an artist, I tend to be my own worst critic!
I am so very glad that you all enjoyed it! Thank you all so very much!
