Born in Nagoya, Japan, Tomo liked to improvise music when she was a child. She began studying music composition at the age of fourteen with the hope to create heartwarming music. A few days after her 30th birthday she suddenly became ill. She started to stroll for rehabilitation, the scenery of this world looked different for her. Her body hurts all over and it was hard to breathe, but mysteriously the world was shining. She was impressed by its breathtaking beauty. This world must had been so beautiful but She hadn’t been aware of it. She was so moved to tears by the warmth and gentleness. When She picked up and connected each piece of natural beauty, it became beautiful music. Her music spreads beautiful scenery in the heart and heals the mind and body.
