The meaning of 'hybrid' above: it was stitched/extended using footage from multiple live performances!
You thought I was done for the year?! Well, I'm taking a big risk here (Japanese venues copyrights and not enough non-venue footage to hide behind) but earlier today I was thinking and said to myself: "you know what, I'm doing it before the year 2023 is over"! So I made this in a few hours earlier today. Backstory: A couple of months ago I started an ambitious compilation of all Riyoko's original melodies in chronological order starting from her oldest available discography from 2009. I wanted it to be a mix of studio and live material where possible. That's still a work in progress that I intend to complete at some point next year. But I thought about it and was like: "let me reverse the order and do this for 2023 before the year is over, focus on only on live (I knew that I have all the footage), and not just melodies but longer segments or even full songs with hybrid editing from multiple versions of performance where possible". And that's exactly what I did.
Riyoko is a world-class Japanese Jazz pianist and composer who isn't bound by a single genre or style and has crossed classical, traditional Japanese, pop, EDM, and anime genre boundaries and styles in her compositions, arrangements, and performances. She's a classically trained prodigy and has been playing piano since age 4 and for well over 3 decades, latter 2 of which she dedicated to Jazz. She's renowned for her musicality, deep harmonic understanding, live performances full of energy with fluent improvisations, and delicate touch on the keys. Together with her talent and charming character she continues to proliferate Jazz and attract many fans from all over the world.
You can learn more about Riyoko and sample more of her music from playlists on my channel home. Riyoko doesn't really make short clips of her music and a lot of her music and performances are missing from her own channel due to Japanese copyright laws, where venues own all the rights to recordings on their premises. Because of that Riyoko can't freely share a lot of her music with us. But an artist like this should be shared with the world, so I'm making it rain on my channels.
