Biography
Yoshimori was born in Hiroshima, Japan. He started his musical career in 1986 participating as a keyboardist in a variety of concerts around the Kansai region. In 1991 he graduated from the music program at the Osaka Kyoiku University and then moved to Tokyo in 1992, at first, as a member of Modern Choki Chokies. From 1995 through 1998, being a multi-keyboardist, he played the piano, synthesizer, and accordion at various night clubs around Tokyo for bands such as Hikashu. He also played the piano and accordion for various musicals such as Big in 1998. He joined the keyboard harmonica orchestra P-blot in 1996 and was considered "the most avant-garde man" of the group because of his acute and clear playing.[1] Through his various activities in Tokyo he dealt with many genres of music and learned different aspects of composition, arrangement, and music production. In recent years he has mainly worked as a composer of soundtracks for anime, often collaborating with director Takahiro Omori. In 2010 he released his long-awaited first solo piano album "Uta no Soba ni: A Song is on Your Side.". His second album "Oto no Aware" was released in 2013.
