Why this artist or event matters in Japan
Taro Hakase Kochi occupies a unique position in Japanese contemporary music as one of the country’s most celebrated instrumental virtuosos. His widespread national recognition blossomed in 1996 through his iconic violin accompaniment on Celine Dion’s global hit To Love You More, which served as the main theme song for the widely watched Japanese television drama Koibito Yo. Since that milestone, Taro Hakase has bridged classical musicianship and mainstream pop culture in Japan, composing signature tracks such as Etupirka and the theme music for the television documentary series Jonetsu Tairiku.
Japanese audiences revere Taro Hakase Kochi not only for his technical skill but also for his warm, lively concert presence. His nationwide autumn tours have become an annual tradition, consistently selling out multi-city runs across prefecture capitals. Rather than restrictive classical recitals, Taro Hakase’s shows feature joyful audience participation, light-hearted banter, and vibrant orchestral backings that appeal to listeners of all generations. Overseas visitors visiting Kochi have a rare opportunity to witness an authentic Japanese instrumental spectacle in an intimate prefectural venue.
