I rate 'Infinity' as one of Riyoko's original masterpieces and she should play it live more often just like she often plays her original 'MIYABI'.

Uploads to the ShibuyaCross-FM channel are generally delayed by ~2 weeks after airing. Full radio show segment where this 'Infinity' performance took place: ua-cam.com/video/jDyX60TUrQs/v-deo.html and follow that channel if you want to listen to Riyoko in that format once every 3 weeks. There are also archives of past performances. Here's album version of Riyoko's original 'Infinity' from her jazz piano trio album "Celebrity Standards" (2021): ua-cam.com/video/u3vQ0FxZN-0/v-deo.html and you can listen to Riyoko's albums as they become available digitally on all major audio platforms as well as on this channel: ua-cam.com/channels/4ptStG4LuvIi8ziF6RNE8Q.html (with delay of 1-2 years in digital format). Special thanks to Lynn Dixon youtube.com/@lynndixon4383 ('lynnthecomposer' on Fiverr) for this excellent transcription. 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.
Hello! Super movie, beautiful piano music, thanks for sharing. You have an interesting channel, so I'm staying and watching. Big like, stay connected. I’m a new subscriber
Hello. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Just like my channel description says, this is a fan channel of Japanese jazz pianist and composer Riyoko Takagi. Japan is a musical black box due to their closed nature, so I have uploaded over 100 of Riyoko's live performances for the world to enjoy. You have a nice travel channel, I subbed back.
