Flavour LA : 9.30pm

Masaki Toraiwa (Guitar)

Ex-Department head of IAP program at Musicans Institute Hollywood,

Ex-Chief Director of MI Japan.

Original “Jennifer” for the infamous “Tony Band”

First Product Specialist for Taylor Guitars in Asia.

Known for his funky rhythmic style and ripping raw guitar solos, Masaki keeps the energy level way up for this band.

In Taiwan, you might know him as “Jennifer” from the sexy and very well known actor, Tony Oki’s  famous rock act, Tony Band.

Toshihito Kaneto (Keys)

Not only is Toshi a very busy and popular all-style player, he is also known as a Composer/Arranger, and his music has been placed in Japanese TV commercials etc. Having studied in LA and being a regular instructor at MI Japan, he is an extremely popular educator as well. His versatile style is a stark contrast to Masaki’s guitar playing and makes up the core sound of Flavor LA.

Yasuyuki Saiga (Drums)

Yasuyuki started playing drums at age 15, and has toured and recorded with numerous famous Japanese artists including Kinki Kids, the legendary Saori Yuki, and performed in New York with his own band, “Otsukare Japan”.

Also a popular drum instructor at MI Japan, he endorses Gretchen, Gibraltar, and Zildjian. Adding to his multiple talents, he has started his own music live bar/school in Shinjuku, Tokyo. He lays down a solid groove but also gets to show his versatility in this band.

HIroyuki Ogawa (Bass)

Hiroyuki studied at MI Japan and also teaches there. He has also played/recorded with many famous Japanese artists including MIkio Fujioka. From Metal to Funk to Jazz, his cool bass lines are the foundation of the Flavor LA sound.
