Chihiro Yamanaka is a jazz pianist but she is also a composer, arranger and producer. He is also head of the CHIHIRO YAMANAKA TRIO. Famous at home, it is also loved abroad especially in the United States and Europe. During his school years he studied at Municipal North Junior High School in Kiryu, Toho Girls' High School and later moved abroad, more precisely to England, to the Royal Academy of Music to finish in Boston at Berklee College of Music from which comes out with flying colors. Soon Chihiro's skills are noticed and he starts releasing records. The first to be released in 2001, "Living Without Friday", remains at the top of the modern jazz HMV chart for 4 weeks. In 2002 "When October Goes" was released, a record that received the award for best jazz album of the year from HMV. A year later the first "Leaning Forward" DVD went on sale. Followed by "Madrigal" in 2004, "Outside by the swing" in 2005 which achieved the first position both in the HMV jazz ranking but also in the Tower Record jazz ranking and is also the first album under Universal. In 2006 it was the turn of "Lach Doch Mal" which a year later was also released in Europe by the EMarcy label. Shortly after Chihiro is ready with the album "Abyss" which reaches the first position in several charts and wins the Japan Jazz Prize of the 41st Jazz Disc Award. Two months later the DVD "Live In Tokyo" was released.

Chihiro's fame is now remarkable, both in Japan and abroad, and his concerts are all sold out. The following album, "After Hours", received the 23rd Japan Gold Disc Award as the jazz disc of the year. Bravogue will follow in 2008, "Runnin 'Wild" in 2009 (tribute album to Benny Goodman, a famous jazz artist of the early 90s) "Forever Begins" in 2010 and "Reminescence" in 2011. The latter manages to enter the daily Oricon ranking at 10th position and it is also the first album that can be purchased in Italy. In 2013 he returned to perform in Italy, with two concerts on March 6 in Naples and the following day in Milan. https://www.jmusicitalia.com/chihiro-yamanaka/biografia/
