Furthermore, through collaborations with composers both in Japan and abroad—including composers of his own generation—he explores the creation of new works and the expressive possibilities of marimba and percussion music.
In addition to composing and arranging chamber music, he also explores new forms of expression that transcend conventional performance formats, such as improvisation combining electronics and percussion.
