Back in 2004, I released the “Live in Tokyo, Japan” DVD with footage from the Coming Through tour in Japan, as well as from the studio sessions for the album.

Watch the June 9 performance below!
This event is being live-streamed in HD on YouTube and Facebook, with a new extensive 8-camera setup, and will also have a very limited audience on site.
Ryo will again be performing on the legendary Yamaha C7 grand piano, along with his full keyboard rig of classic synths, the mighty drawbar organ and Leslie, and an assortment of modern plug-ins, mad scientist style.
Ryo is one of the most animated, entertaining musicians in the genre, and the band is comprised of the best musicians Japan has to offer.
It will be a night of too many notes, and way too much fun!
