Now she even frolics on her bed before her half-naked piano performance.
Just last month, Japanese jazz pianist Riyoko Takagi decided to celebrate the festive season by performing a Christmas medley on the piano while dressed in a revealing Santa outfit.
After receiving support and praise from thousands of people who viewed her holiday video, Takagi decided to celebrate the New Year with another performance, this time dressed as a seductive courtesan.
In her new video, Takagi plays a piece called “Haru no Umi” (“The Sea in Spring”), which is often played around Japan at the beginning of the New Year. Composed by Michio Miyagi in 1929, Takagi puts a jazz spin on the original arrangement, while adding her own special flair to the performance.
Take a look at the clip below:
Takagi’s performance is on point throughout the entire video, as the talented pianist hits all the right notes with her dextrous fingers.
She doesn’t even miss a beat as she raises her left hand to pull her robe off her shoulder, revealing her pink bra to the camera.
This time, Takagi gives fans more than just a piano performance, as she shows us some of her Japanese New Year’s trinkets from the window by the side of the bed.
And if you watch until the very end, Takagi gives us an affectionate “Koto Yoro” greeting, which is short for “Kotoshi mo yoroshiku onegaishimasu“, meaning “Please be kind to me again this year.”
Takagi’s fanbase grows with every performance, with more and more people now looking forward to important holidays in the calendar, hoping they’ll coincide with a new video from the jazz pianist. We can’t wait for February to see what Valentine’s Day will bring!
