Yuko Suzuhana (鈴すず華はな ゆう子こ) (Japanese pronunciation: [jɯ̟ːko̞ sɨᵝzɨᵝha̠na̠]) is a Japanese singer, Shigin master, Kenshibu master, composer, pianist, radio presenter, and cultural ambassador best known as the leader of Wagakki Band.[1][2]

Biography

[edit]

At the age of three, Yuko Suzuhana began studying classical piano, as both her parents are piano teachers. She began studying Shigin and Kenshibu at the age of five. After graduating from Ibaraki Prefectural Mito Daini Senior High School, Suzuhana studied at the Tokyo College of Music. After working as pianist and lecturer in a piano class, she started singing in the classical pop unit Asty, formed with her pianist and violinist classmates at the university.[3][4]

In 2011, Suzuhana won the grand prize in the Youth Division of the National Ginpo Concours sponsored by Nippon Columbia. In February 2012, Suzuhana co-founded the folk-classical band Hanafugetsu with shakuhachi player Daisuke Kaminaga and koto player Kiyoshi Ibukuro. A year later, she conceived a band that fused the traditional and modern sides of Japanese culture, leading to the formation of Wagakki Band.

In 2016, Suzuhana released her first solo album Cradle of Eternity.[5] In March 2017, she was appointed Ambassador in the Ibaraki and Mito prefectures. In June 2019, Suzuhana transferred her office and label from Avex Trax to Universal Music Japan. On June 28, 2021, Suzuhana announced the restart of her solo career with the music video "Campanula", which premiered on her YouTube channel on June 30.[6]
