She also has held numerous solo-recitals called \u201cMidori\u2019s Concert\u201d which is well known in Japan. Although she is quite active as a performer, Midori has the biggest Marimba school in the world. Currently she hires ten marimba and piano instructors, and has about 300 students. The majority of her students go on to further their studies at well known Japanese universities that specialize in music. Between 2006 and 2007, she performed and was well received at the Cultural Ministry, Nomura Securities, Seibu Department Group, Japan Agricultural Association, as well as many other prominent places. She is a special member of Japan Xylophone Association. Over the years she studied marimba from Ms. Mutsuko Taneya, Ms. Michiko Takakhashi and Mr. Eiichi Asabuki.

\nAbout Yokko

Eventually she was able to transform her experience\u00a0into a fearless, funny and intimate one-woman show, BALDY, which she has shown in NYC and Hollywood and will next year share at CRS.<\/p>\n
