Composer-Pianist Nobuyuki Mizuoka
His unique melodies are routinely featured in the background music of TV-Asahi’s 秘湯ロマン (“Hitou Roman”— Hidden Hot Spring Romance) program in Japan. He is also a prolific live performer! 🎶

Stardust

The jazz standard “Stardust” performed live by Shinji Ishihara on tenor sax, Nobuyuki Mizuoka on piano, and Shigenobu Kikuta on wood bass.

Cherryblossoms of Dreams

This melody “Yumezakura” was written and performed by Pianist-Composer Nobuyuki Mizuoka and released on his 2009 album “旅人星 (Tabibitoboshi ー Wanderer’s Star).” To illustrate the live performance in parts of this video, I used a number of my photographs of scenes taken during the height of the cherryblossom season in Hibiya Park, Tokyo.🌸

On a Streetcorner in Paris

I’m very sure that you will begin to reminisce about how lovely Paris used to be as you enjoy this pleasant song. The original melody「パリの街角で」— “Pari no machikado de” in Japanese — was composed and performed by Pianist Nobuyuki Mizuoka and is the fourth track of his 2005 solo album “Home-bound.”
