踊るということ
＜Oriental Dancer＞
Takako studied classical ballet with Rumi Ninomiya and Masa Ninomiya at the Fukuoka International Ballet Theatre. There she learned the basics of stage performance.
She then moved to Tokyo in order to attend university and continued studying ballet at Midori Matsuoka Ballet Theatre during her college years.
After graduating from Hosei University with a degree in Japanese literature she became more interested in free-style, improvisational dance styles and made the conversion to Oriental (Belly) Dancing. She began exploring styles which express the charm of Eastern and Japanese dance.
While working as both a dance instructor and stage performer at various events, she shares the joy of dance with her students and with the audience. Additionally, she runs an acupuncture salon where she treats and heals others.

“Some wonderful things about her dancing are that she can make difficult moves look natural and easy and she can pull the audience into her world. And the most wonderful thing about her is that she continues to take her dancing to a higher and more brilliant level. Even at this very moment I can’t take my eyes off her continuous development.”
(from Ms. Rumi Ninomiya - Stage director / ballerina /choreographer)
“Ms. Taka’s dancing adds richness and courage to our lives!
I am a huge fan of her dancing!”
(from Ms. Masa Ninomiya - Art director)

針師として
＜Acupuncturist＞
While working as a stage performer and dance instructor Takako began to feel that logical and precise instruction was essential; thus, in order to acquire a high-level understanding of the human body she studied anatomy and became a licensed acupuncturist.
Since her grandparents’ generation both of her parents and all of her close family were healers so she was intimately familiar with Eastern medicine. Her grandfather was a master of the martial art of “iaido”, or “drawing of the sword”, a Shinto priest and a healer yet there was no one who could succeed as master of the Kyushu-Mugai-Ryu (the school he had established) unless Takako also mastered the Eastern arts of healing; she became a third-generation practitioner of the healing arts.
She studied acupuncture and Eastern healing methods with Masamitsu Yoshitomi (her grandfather) and continued her studies with Professor Genichi Sugiyama of the Chinese Medicine Association and Research Group at Liaoning University.” She mastered the art of acupuncture at a breakneck pace.
Takako’s method of treatment is unique in that she utilizes both modern Japanese “Shinkyu” and traditional Chinese techniques; i.e., acupuncture. With an approach based on the principle of “creating a bright future based on the wisdom and traditions of the past” she incorporates modern techniques while faithfully protecting the treatment methods inherited from her grandfather’s time.
In addition, she has been involved in many salon start-up tasks and has visited other salons as a technical advisor on the art of acupuncture.

“Takako has an innate ability to heal people and a charming and mysterious aura that brightly illuminates the room. She performs acupuncture with a truly magic hand.”
(from Mr. Genichi Sugiyama - Acupuncturist)
<楽譜制作・浄書家>
大学在学中より、日本の舞台音楽の第一人者である作曲家 玉麻尚一、山口琇也(Billy)の元でアシスタントとして舞台作品の楽譜制作を行うなか、
採譜・楽譜浄書・プログラミングを独学で習得。
楽譜を読むことさえできない状態からスタートしたキャリアだったため、正確な楽典は仕事を通して両氏から教わった。
ミュージカル、舞台作品、コンサートや出版物の楽譜制作は数千曲以上。
(使用ソフト:Finale 2000~2023 for MacOS)
楽器やコーラスを聴き分けて楽譜に書き起こす作業のなかで、多くの楽曲や楽器の特性を学ぶ。
近年はダンサーと治療家がメインの仕事であるので、楽譜制作は作曲家の緊急依頼や馴染みの出版社のみ受注している。
考え込むことがあると、
それは今でも励ましとなっている。
敬愛する音楽家から いつもこう言われた。
「僕は君の天真爛漫なところを気に入ってるんだ。
くよくよするなんて、君らしくないじゃないか。」
「いいかい、ミュージシャンなんて
世の中に掃いて捨てるほど、
ごまんといるわけ。
ミュージシャンには、いわゆるライセンスなんてものがない。
だけど 本当に良いものは世の中に残っていく。
僕はそう信じてるんだ。」
(音楽家：深町 純 1946-2010)
＜Music Engraver＞
At university, while acting as a personal assistant music to two leading composers of Japanese stage music, Shoichi Tama and Hideya Yamaguchi (aka “Billy”), Takako self-taught herself and mastered the skills of music transcription, engraving, and programming. At the start of her music career she couldn't even read the score yet she learned music from both men and went on to transcribe thousands of musical scores for musicals, stage performances, concerts, and publications.
(Software: Finale 2000~2017, Finale 26 for Mac OS)
As she listened to the musical instruments and choruses separately and wrote them down into sheet music, she acquired an ear for the specific characteristics of various musical instruments and compositions.
As she has been more focused on dancing and healing in recent years she now only accepts urgent requests from composers and publishers with whom she has a close business relationship.

What I feel about Takako as a person who has been watching over her for a long time is that she is a person who can’t be shaken. Perhaps it’s because she is a perfectionist. Her focus never wavers until the task at hand is brought to a complete conclusion.
(from Sho-ichi Tama - Composer)
Whenever Takako was worried about something another musician often talked about her with me. He would say, “I really like her pure heart. But why does she fret so much?!”
“Okay, there are so many musicians out there whose disappearance wouldn’t be noticed if they were swept under the rug. Musicians have no so-called license. But if you create something really good it will take on a life of its own and remain. Anyway, that’s what I believe.”
(from Jun Fukamachi - Pianist, Composer 1946-2010)
