Hiromitsu Agatsuma

Artist

Hiromitsu Agatsuma is a Tsugaru-jamisen player from Ibaraki Prefecture. While inheriting traditional Tsugaru-jamisen technique, he has actively undertaken crossover works with genres such as jazz and rock, making him one of the foremost figures to have expanded the expressive territory of Japanese traditional instruments. For 'Setsuna', the opening theme of the TV anime 'Sengoku Hero Legend: Sanada Ten Braves The Animation' broadcast on WOWOW, he was in charge of composition and performance, eloquently expressing the Sengoku-period romance of the Sanada Ten Braves with a powerful shamisen sound that combines the spirit of Japanese tradition with contemporary arrangement.
