" SUCH A LADY AND AWESOME ARTIST TO TOUCH THE HEART AND HEART OF HEARTS .

YOSHIKO IS AN IMPORTANT PERSON TO LOOK AT , LISTEN TO , AND FEEL HER MUSIC , STYLE , AND LOVE INTO HER MUSIC , BECAUSE IT IS WONDER FILLED AND AWESOMELY BEAUTY FILLED.

A most exciting amazing and touching artist , songwriter, composer , pianist , singer that must be over 90% angel although I have not yet seen her wings. as her songs come on one by one , I move only after they are finished . so much it is she paints soundscapes from her heart and spirit . Sunflower is like a dream , a so awesome dream .

SOMETIMES THERE ARE CERTAIN MUSICIANS THAT PLAY THE PIANO WELL AND THAT ALONE IS THEIR SPECIALTY . IN WHAT I SEE , YOSHIKO IS SO MUCH MORE THAN UNIQUE & WONDER FILLED AS A COMPOSER, MUSICIAN , SONG AND MUSIC WRITER , AND AN ARTIST, SHE TOUCHES HEARTS AND SPIRITS AS THE SOUND OF THE WIND , THE CALL OF BIRDS , THE VOICE OF ONE IN LOVE ...

YOSHIKO IS SO BEAUTIFUL IN SO MANY WAYS FROM THE WAY THE MUSIC OF HER " HAPPY HANDS" TOUCHES YOUR EARS AND HEART, FUTHER SHE RAISES YOUR AWARENESS AND SPIRIT. ONE OF MY FRIENDS FROM NEAR KYOTO SAYS YOSHIKO KISSES THE WIND AND PLAYS COMPOSES MUSIC FOR THE WINDRIDERS .
