On March 20（Thu., national holiday）, Kotaro Oshio came to the Sky Garden at Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens!

The weather was amazing!

Oh, it’s Kotaro Oshio〜〜!

He’s one of Japan’s top guitarists, known for his incredible acoustic guitar technique!

You’ve definitely heard Kotaro Oshio’s guitar at least once as background music inside Hankyu Nishinomiya Gardens! The song is called Marble

This time, he was at the Sky Garden for a public recording of the MBS Radio special “Kotaro Oshio no Oshitemo Hiitemo Special.” Actually, they’ve been doing this at the Sky Garden almost every year, and it seems this was already the teens-something time

The woman is Kaori Minami. Since 2003, she has been co-hosting this radio program, “Kotaro Oshio no Oshitemo Hiitemo,” together with him alllll this time. They’re both from Kansai, so their back-and-forth is really fun.

Apparently, the show itself has been running since his second year after major-label debut. This year marks its 22nd anniversary! And still, just from the title, you can tell it’s all about being devoted to guitar, right?

The stepped seating at the Sky Garden. The fans were packed in tight〜〜〜.

Even though it’s just one guitar, he plays this mysterious kind of guitar where you hear all these sounds, like, “Is there a drum in there? A bass? Are there several instruments?” You’ll understand once you hear it!

A chilly breeze. Warm sunshine. Under a blue sky. The guitar sound felt so good, and it matched the atmosphere of Gardens perfectly.

Oshio-san apparently loves Star Wars and Gundam,

but when he talks about them to one of the “DEPAPEPE” members he’s in a unit with, he gets told, “I haven’t watched them,” and it was funny how lonely that made him look lol

Also, he apparently loves “Idol,” the hugely famous song from the anime “Oshi no Ko,” and on the new album by “DEPAPEKO(Kotaro Oshio x DEPAPEPE),” they arranged “Idol” using only the three of their guitars.

“The rap part was really hard,” he said, and the way he expresses absolutely everything on guitar feels almost divine. By the way, you can listen to the advance release from here. The rap part is incredible

For these public recordings, there’s always some kind of guest, and they usually announce it in advance, but this time it was actually a secret. So before the announcement, the whole venue started buzzing.

Who’s coming!? We waited with our hearts pounding…


Quoted from Harami-chan Official Website – Harami-chan’s official homepage♪

The “YouTube Queen of the Piano World,” Harami-chan, appeared!
*Because Harami-chan was a special secret guest, we can’t post photos of her〜. Sorry🙏


(Harami-chan came in along the red carpet. Please read while imagining Harami-chan)

Oshio-san spoke passionately, saying, “Actually, I’ve always wanted to perform with her!” Harami-chan herself, and also her mother, are apparently huge, huge, huge fans of Oshio-san, and she was raised hearing, “There’s no one else who can play guitar like that!!” lol


(Use your mind’s eye to picture Harami-chan〜!)

It was truly a miraculous collaboration. A guitar and piano session. The first song was Harami-chan’s “Ame.” While listening, for some reason, I found myself tearing up. My late father was a pianist, so maybe it overlapped with the beauty of the performance

Their session turned into a medley of “Nagori Yuki” → “Cherry” → “Akai Sweet Pea” → “Haru yo, Koi.” This was also amazing. A direct hit for the Showa generation.

Honestly, I wanted to listen forever! Then Harami-chan also said, “If time allowed, I’d want to play about 20 songs!” These were sounds that could only be born right here. Once-in-a-lifetime

This performance was
