The YAA is known in their hometown Yokohama, as an Asian music mixture band, with the basis of jazz. Not only playing their main instruments in an uncommon style, they play Asian ethnic instruments creating a new type of fusion music, recorded on 2 great albums so far. That unique style of music and their outstanding performance charms the people through the Asian countries. From last year to current, they have performed in such countries as Indonesia, China, Korea, Singapore and so on, and winning popularity, their performance for the coming year is already booked. The performance by one of Japan’s top musicians sometimes heats the crowd with a groove you can not stand for your body to move, and sometimes will take you to a space where all pain and suffering will be forgotten. All of this, by YAA’s wonderful music expression.
