A New Style by Mao & Miri
A challenge to vocals.
A challenge to performance.
A challenge to the world.
Mao & Miri is a groundbreaking musical project by the Kitamura Sisters—renowned Tsugaru shamisen performers active both in Japan and internationally. Having long captivated audiences with the beauty of traditional Japanese instruments, they now embark on a bold new journey, blending rock, pop, jazz, dance music, and traditional Japanese sounds into a unique musical experience.
Joined by electric guitar, shakuhachi, drums, bass, and more, their music fuses the energy of modern styles with the delicate tones of traditional instruments. With a deep respect for Japanese culture and an adventurous spirit, Mao & Miri pushes musical boundaries to bring an entirely new sound to audiences around the world.
