The OTOKAI Nakama Concert is a monthly concert series where audiences can enjoy original music performed in a warm and intimate setting. A video capturing each concert will also be released during the third week of every month.
For our seventh concert, the theme is “A Delicious Season.”
The program features mainly pieces selected by members of the OTOKAI community. Previous OTOKAI Nakama Concerts have taken place in a variety of settings, including cafés, restaurants, and recording studios. This time, however, the concert was held at an acupuncture and orthopedic clinic—an unexpected setting quite different from our previous venues. We hope you enjoy this unique concert experience.
