For nearly five decades, Hiroshima has defined a genre all its own—fusing jazz, R&B, and traditional Japanese influences into a sound that resonates across cultures and generations. Now, as they embark on their final tour, CATS is honored to present a special live performance from this iconic band. This is more than just a concert; it’s a farewell to a group that has transformed the landscape of Asian American music.

A Legacy Like No Other

Since their debut in the late 1970s, Hiroshima has captivated audiences with their distinctive blend of Eastern and Western musical traditions. Led by Dan Kuramoto and June Kuramoto, the band’s innovative use of the koto, shakuhachi, and taiko drums alongside contemporary jazz and R&B instrumentation has set them apart as pioneers in the music industry. With multiple gold records and Grammy nominations, Hiroshima has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz fusion and beyond.

This final tour marks the culmination of decades of trailblazing work, celebrating a legacy of breaking barriers and redefining musical storytelling. From their chart-topping hits like “One Wish” and “Thousand Cranes” to their electrifying live performances, Hiroshima has always been about more than just music—it’s about heritage, resilience, and cultural expression.
