About Akiko Yano
Since her debut album, Japanese Girl (1976), which was recorded in LA with Little Feat, Akiko Yano has collaborated with numerous renowned musicians, including Yellow Magic Orchestra, Pat Metheny, Thomas Dolby, The Chieftains, Toninho Horta, Marc Ribot, and many more. She spent years recording and touring as a trio with Anthony Jackson on bass and Cliff Almond on drums. Her duets with the late electronica artist Rei Harakami and pianist Hiromi showcased her genre-free, creative, and pleasantly adventurous musical artistry. Yano’s latest duo project is with Tsugaru Shamisen virtuoso Hiromitsu Agatsuma.
She has released 27 original albums, three on Nonesuch Records: AKIKO YANO, LOVE LIFE, and PIANO NIGHTLY. T Bone Burnett produced her 27th original album, akiko, in 2008. In March of this year, Yano released I Want to See You So Badly, a collaboration with Soichi Noguchi, the sixth Japanese astronaut to journey into space.
Yano has also composed music for and lent her voice to several films created by Hayao Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli.
