Aya Uchida (Japanese Pop Singer) and Jo Yamanaka (on Guitar)
October 8, 2022 @ 2:45 pm - 3:15 pm
The GKC Japan Festival is proud to feature Ms. Aya Uchida, a native of Kyoto, Japan, to perform for us again this year. She will travel from Japan to be in Kansas City with us.
Ms. Uchida was born in Kyoto, Japan. In 2009, she met with guitarist, Jo Yamanaka and they started to produce and sing their original songs. Their first collaborative single, Mahalo-Arigato, was originally created for the Kansas City Japan Festival and was very well received in the U.S.
Aya’s official debut as a professional singer took place in June 2010 when her first album was released. At the same time Aya started her own show/program for a local radio station. Not only in Japan, Aya has performed in many Japan festivals in the US and has also frequently visited the Republic of Haiti to entertain members of the Japan Self-Defense Force, dispatched to provide international relief activities after the 2010 earthquake and has also visited children’s orphanages to share her songs and support.
Aya’s new music video Long Road / J-Country Version was taken at an old ranch near Kansas City. And her new music video MAHALO~ALOHA was performed in Kansas City. You can find these videos on YouTube.
Mr. Jo Yamanaka will accompany Aya on guitar.
