A Singing, Playing, and Romping Trio from “Minimamus”

• Kusumi Hideo (vocals & ukulele banjo)
• Kanno Toshiko (chorus & accordion)
• Mizuguchi Gucchi (chorus & junk percussion)

Nurseries, cafés, care facilities, street events, concert halls — wherever they go, they get everyone moving, young and old alike. Their style is pure onkyoku: music as communal revelry. All three members are devoted food lovers, which explains why their setlist leans heavily toward edible subjects — from “The Chickpea Song” to “Polenta Polka.” Word on the street is they’re overdue for a Michelin Bib Gourmand nod.
