The guest artist on Aug. 29 is TakUmi, a jazz pianist currently in high school. With a foundation in jazz, he brings a unique style to the piano through improvisational arrangements of J-pop and other genres. Since elementary school, he has performed at events and jam sessions across Japan, including appearances at Nakasu Jazz and the Christmas Market in Fukuoka.
