Background

Shinya Kiyozuka began his piano journey at the age of five and quickly rose to prominence by winning the 1st prize at the All Japan Student Music Competition. His career took a significant turn when he served as the piano dubber for the protagonist in the hit live-action adaptation of “Nodame Cantabile.” This role, followed by his work on the TBS drama “Kounodori,” cemented his status as a “media pianist” who could engage the public while maintaining rigorous classical standards. He made history as the first Japanese male classical pianist to perform a solo concert at the Nippon Budokan.

The “47 Prefectures Tour” is a testament to Kiyozuka’s dedication to bringing high-caliber music to every part of Japan. By performing in major city halls and regional cultural centers alike, he emphasizes that music is a universal language that should be accessible beyond metropolitan hubs. The 2026 tour serves as a culmination of his years as a performer, composer, and educator, offering a setlist that reflects his growth and his deep appreciation for his fans across the entire country.
