Shun Ishiwaka 3days - 6 Performances 2026Hello, everyone. Thank you all so much for your continued support. This is Shun Ishikawa. This year marks the 10th time I’ve performed six shows over three days at Shinjuku Pit Inn. Amazing!
I’ve been giving it my all for about 10 years. The shows always push the limits, and I’m really looking forward to this year’s lineup, too.
The first day features Mangaphonics. Over the past three years or so, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to spend time with these wonderful folks. It’s sure to be a legendary performance. In the evening, it’s the familiar SMTK. I hear they’re making progress on their new album. Lately, every time they play, I can’t help but be deeply moved by what a great band they are. Here’s hoping they can release it this year!
On the second day, daytime set features a performance with two musicians I feel a strong connection with. I have a feeling we’ll discover something new. In the evening set, Answer to Remember’s Big Band will celebrate our 10th performance with a grand show, featuring arrangements created especially for this day.
On the third day, the afternoon show will be a live performance commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of our first ‘Songbook’. We also went on tour this early summer. In the evening, ‘Boys’ will take the stage. They went through a lot and were on the verge of breaking up at one point, but it looks like they’re back on track now. It’s been 19 years since we went on tour during my spring break between my second and third years of middle school. To mark our 19th anniversary, we’re returning to Pit Inn.
We’ll be celebrating for the next three days. Thank you in advance for your support.

Mikiko Nagatake 3daysI’m already really looking forward to playing at my favorite spot, Pit Inn, for three days!
On the first day, it’s the “Mikiko Nagatake Trio.” This year marks the seventh year of my regular trio with Orihara, who brings an unbreakable groove, and Kira, who understands my music better than anyone. I’m filled with gratitude for all of you who love our trio’s sound—a melodic and groovy sound rooted in jazz.
On the second day, we will welcome Grigoris Theodoridis, who is active in Europe, to Japan. Following a Greek tour that was cut short by a pandemic six years ago, our long-awaited collaboration will finally come to fruition. I am convinced that the watercolor-like transparency and approachability of his music will complement my compositions—which are influenced by Impressionism—perfectly. On drums, we will be joined by Masatsugu Hattori, who has been active across borders and has successfully toured Europe as a solo artist.
Day 3 featured the “Wayne Shorter Tribute.” Although I also perform his songs in a duo with Nami Kano, witnessing Nami soar with such boundless freedom was the catalyst for forming this quintet. Together with Hiroyuki Ishikawa, Daiki Mishima, and Ittetsu Takemura—calm yet powerful seasoned musicians, or rather, reliable mission specialists—we’ll fly as far as we can aboard the spaceship “Wayne Shorter.”

Otomo Yoshihide PIT INN Year-End 4DAYS w/ 8 Consecutive Performances「Improvisation! 」It’s been two years since our last “Year-End 4 Days, 8 Consecutive Performances” series. This year’s theme is “Improvisation!” I know—I’m probably going to get called out for saying this, since people will likely point out that I’m always improvising anyway. Of course, that’s true, but this year, as I’ve been creating a large-scale installation centered on the theme of improvisation at YCAM in Yamaguchi, I’ve found myself constantly reflecting on what “improvisation”—which could be called the very foundation of my creative work—actually is. It’s also been a year in which I’ve been unable to avoid asking myself why I continue to be so committed to “improvisation.”
The first day kicks off with an improvisational set featuring Gozo Yoshimasu, an 87-year-old poet and performer who introduced me to the depths of improvisation. That evening marks ONJQ’s triumphant return to Japan—their first performance here in a very long time—following their appearance at the Berlin Jazz Festival.
On the second day, there will be an improvisational set at noon with Masaki Hayashi, Japan’s top pianist. That evening, I’ll make my debut at PITINN with MITAMURAKANDADAN? from Kobe—a miraculous ensemble that seems to bring everyday life directly onto the stage—for our first-ever improvisational collaboration.
On the third day at noon, I’ll perform an improvisational trio with vocalist Ami Yamasaki and dancer Kaho Kogure, with whom I’ve recently been collaborating on numerous improvisational performances in various venues. In the evening, we’ll hold a release concert for the duo album “Shutsumin”, which was recorded during an improvised performance with saxophonist Kaho Kogure and released in Europe.
On the fourth day, it’s our traditional special big band concert. For the matinee, in addition to our usual repertoire, we’ll present a chaotic, improvised mix of what are, for me, deeply personal standard tunes. In the evening, we plan a stage where laughter and the inexplicable coexist, featuring a mix of various songs and improvisations centered around Bon Odori dance tunes.
Improvisation, I’ve come to feel lately, is about creating something of your own volition while at the same time accepting situations that are beyond your control…
