Announcement of "UD LIVE" (7/27)

On July 27th, we will be hosting "UD LIVE" with the jazz project "JAZZLETTER", which includes jazz vocalist Eri Yazaki.
The theme of this live concert was decided to be "Sparkling Note" after Yazaki and the students brainstormed together! The combination of "Sparkling", which evokes the image of summer with sparkling and carbonation, and "Note", which means musical note, expresses the desire to create a bright and fun live concert that sounds like musical notes playing. On the day of the concert, special food and drinks exclusive to UD LIVE, created by the students to match the theme, will also be on sale.
In addition, before the start of the live performance, there will be a performance by the university's brass band and the brass band alumni quartet, the "Falcons quartet," further livening up the UD LIVE.
Enjoy a glittering, amazing day that you won't want to miss even before the live show starts.

Cast

Eri Yazaki (Vocal)
In junior high school, she was introduced to the world of jazz when her teacher, Tomoe Nishimura, gave her an Ella Fitzgerald CD. During her university years, she was active in the jazz club and also worked as a staff member at Roppongi Satin Doll, learning the basics of standard jazz. In 2021, she released "All Because of You" and "February" digitally under the name "JAZZLETTER", a project team led by jazz drummer Daichi Hashizume. In 2022, she released her first album "it" produced by Yusuke Shima, who has produced many jazz vocals.

JAZZLETTER
This is a jazz project by Daichi Hashizume, who works as a jazz drummer and rapper. They started their activities in 2019 in order to express themselves while capturing the essence of jazz. Their original songs have a catchy sound that incorporates elements of black music, but are consistent in being jazz through chord progressions and improvisation. Their YouTube channel has been well-received, with a total of over 800,000 views (as of March 2024). This time at UD LIVE, Eri Yazaki (Vo), Moe Wakabayashi (Gt), Minori Kobayashi (Key), Taku Tashiro (Ba), and Daichi Hashizume (Dr) will be appearing.
