Sounds Like
"...Next was Love etc., a Japanese pop rock band with a sound that you cannot compare to anything you hear on the radio or see on MTV. Lead singer Yasuyo has a very flowing and powerful voice...[She] had the audience in awe. Pianist Tsubasa was in a word, 'extravagant'. A mix of classical and jazz really makes her playing worth remembering and wanting to hear over and over. This band is one to place on my list of groups I want to see again."
-Bianca BC- (From an article for the LaGuardia Student News-May 2006) www.myspace.com/pickasideproduction
Formed in 2006 by Tsubasa and Yasuyo, Love Etc. combines classical mentality, the warmth of Japanese pop, soulful jazz, ambient sounds and marvelous hooks.
Tsubasa and Yasuyo met in 2004 and began to collaborate on their unique style of music. Currently they continue to write and perform in a variety of venues.
Tsubasa (Piano) began studying classical piano at age 4 in Japan and wrote her first composition at age 5. In 1998 she won a scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston, where she has graduated with honors receiving a diploma in performance. Since 2002 she has been living in New York City.
Yasuyo (Lead Vocals) began singing in a local choir at age 7 and continued singing throughout her teenage years in the choir and in a local pop band. In 2000 she moved to NYC to study and prusue a career in singing. She recently graduated from CUNY, where she majored in Performing Arts and Sound Engineering.
Love Etc. has added two great musicians: Danny Zanker on bass & Yutaka on drums.
Danny has been playing bass for more than 20 years and has since had the honor of playing with thousands of musicians from all over the world. Yutaka, is an accomplished composer and has received several awards for his original works. His professional career spans over 10 years as a versatile drummer and has played in numerous projects spanning many genres both in the US and Japan.
