Their live shows are a delightful mix of music and revelry, reminiscent of a lively night at an izakaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kazuya Nishizawa captures the essence of everyday life with a unique perspective, delivering it through his ragtime and enka-inspired guitar playing. He calls his music &#8220;gap music&#8221; or &#8220;venture music,&#8221; sneaking into the gaps of your heart. Kanade Kuroda started playing the violin at five and, despite rebellious phases, supported &#8220;Kitaro&#8221; on tours in Japan and the U.S. at 26. She has since performed and recorded with many renowned musicians. As the behind-the-scenes boss of Choice-chan, she lives by the motto, &#8220;Today&#8217;s drink is for today; tomorrow is another day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who could resist? Grab your own summer libation and join them for a celebration, embodying their lively spirit and motto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-960x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-960x720.jpg 960w, https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-630x473.jpg 630w, https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/wmdf.org\/wpms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/P8050218-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/choicechan.com\/\">https:\/\/choicechan.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/airtable.com\/embed\/appl2St1lq996szjO\/shr4oLSNs40crFped?search=Choice\" width=\"100%\" height=\"633\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-4286","artist","type-artist","status-publish","hentry","artistscat-artists017"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/4286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wmdf.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
