Artist Profile
kojiro
In 2000, vocalist Lusica Saito (then Kojiro) asked Tomoya Kurakawa to produce a solo project. He gathered members mainly from Kurakawa's students and started "Kojiro musica terra". From the first live performance, the group became a hot topic among local musicians in Saitama. Later, when the local venues could not hold all the customers, they expanded to live houses in Tokyo. They held monthly events at the former Omotesando FAB (now Omotesando GROUND). They also began to perform regularly at Shibuya O-WEST and O-EAST. They also performed at the now defunct Shibuya AX and ZeppTokyo. Also, around the third year of its formation, the group began to take on the appearance of "contest trolls". They advanced to the national contest of a certain contest and performed live at Yebisu Garden Hall. The audience was stunned by their unimaginable performance and forgot to applaud. Minoru Mukaiya (Keybords) and Akira Jimbo (Drums), former members of the world famous fusion band Cassiopeia, who were also judges at another contest, praised the band. Minoru Mukaiya rated it as "world class." Since then, after numerous member changes, the current members have come together. In 2021, the instrumental band "kojiro featuring Satomi Tsukumo" began activities as a collaborative project. Currently, collaborations and releases with various artists, both professional and amateur, are underway under the surface.
