She received the Okada Prize twice during her studies. Among other accolades, she won the Gold Prize in the University Division of the 7th Chopin International Piano Competition in ASIA. Since 2013, she has regularly held eight recitals, primarily at Toppan Hall, featuring conceptual programs ranging from Bach to commissioned works by Japanese composers. Recently, she has been conducting experimental attempts to explore how live acoustic spaces can be shared, by connecting musical thought with the works and formative thinking of the painter Paul Klee as a foundation. Her recital in autumn 2020, featuring the complete Boulez Piano Sonatas alongside Beethoven: Bagatelles Op. 126, received performance reviews in newspapers such as the Asahi Shimbun and Nikkei Shimbun, coinciding with the release of her CD. To date, she has released five CDs, which have received critical acclaim in numerous media outlets, including being selected as a 'Special Disc' by 'Record Geijutsu' magazine and a 'Recommended Disc' by 'Ongaku Gendai' magazine, as well as 'MUSIC BIRD'. In addition to her ensemble activities, she has also developed unique lectures that connect music with other art forms, including a lecture concert on Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' with the late Dr. Masashi Isoyama. She is scheduled to perform at Tokyo Opera City 'B→C' in March 2022.
