A Tsugaru Shamisen demale duo by Hikari Shirafuji and Kanami Takeda since 2008. KIKI’s sound has the dynamic of Tsugaru Shamisen combined with a delicate expression as a female duo. The origin of KIKI (“KI (輝)” means sparkle) comes from our wish to create a new sparkle by two Shamisen players who have totally different backgrounds of learning Shamisen nor where they are from. KIKI produce, organize their own live performances, events while they are also the creators of many of their RU-vid videos.
Won 1st place for six times at the all Japan Tsugaru Shamisen duo division.
This is such an incredible video. Thank you so much for taking us with you to Alaska. It is always a treat to see you perform. Thanks again. Love from America
My warmest congratulations to Kanami and her baby! So, after two months in London, Hikari will be able to say something about your compositions in English. I am sure even something small or short will be an advantage! These translations are good, but direct communication, as much as possible in YT, is still better. I wish you nice stay in England and hope you can also travel around Europe a bit. "Hoshiai" sounds so great, I really like that one!
