Artist Profile
- Sanshiro, Saxophone/Musician
- Musician Sanshiro, a saxophone player known as a pioneer of street musicians, graduated from the general course of Toho Gakuen High School and entered Berklee College of Music. He joined Professional Music Major and majored in guitar. Influenced by Charlie Parker, he soon switched to saxophone, learning composition and arranging. He then stayed in New York. He performed live as an alto saxophone player, and then traveled to Boston, Paris, London, and New York, developing his street performances. After returning to Japan, his street performances in front of the Seibu Department Store in Shibuya attracted a lot of attention, drawing hundreds of spectators every day, and he was featured on television, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc.
Since his album debut with "Sanshiro" (SONY), Sanshiro has been active in many areas, including live performances, radio shows, and music production for clubs. As can be seen from his work and activities, he has an international sensibility and is always on the lookout for new things, whether major or minor, which has never changed since his street performance days, and he continues to challenge himself with the fusion of different art forms and new media. Sanshiro's music creates a unique world that transcends cultural differences and language barriers.
Past major activities:
☆Recorded with Sean Lennon under the name GOW, advocated by Yoko Ono, and also appeared in a concert at the Tokyo Dome.
☆Regular appearances, won the Galaxy Award Radio Grand Prize ☆Debuted album in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong ☆Performed with Paul Stookey of PPM ☆Appeared in "Fashion Cantata 2012" at Toji Temple, the head temple of the Shingon sect.
☆He has released 40 CD albums.
Even now that he has appeared in many music scenes, he continues to perform on the streets as his roots, and at the core of his being is his love and kindness towards people.
Sanshiro, the "street corner minstrel," is still weaving songs somewhere today.
May the kindness and peace reach you too.
