About Otonana Trio

Kentaro Saito is not new to the American music scene; in fact he graduated from one of the most prestigious schools in Hollywood with awards and has a degree in jazz performance. He had a jazz band but soon decided that jazz wasn't going to reach the masses. Kentaro moved back to Japan but after the Earthquake he decided to give America another chance and formed the Otonana Trio, with the help of an old band mate. Once he found Hikari Kuroda and Kazuhisa Maekawa he took a different approach by playing the Japanese version of P-funk. Now they are going on tour and ready to make everyone dance.
