The entire world is searching for happiness. People want to understand about their mind, soul and consciousness. They want to go deeper within their own self in search of happiness. At the forefront of such initiatives in Japan is the husband-wife team of Sayaka and Masahiko Hashimoto.

Sayaka has taken several initiatives to enrich Japan’s spiritual life through its music, culture, poetry and traditions. Sayaka has been putting the healing power of music through their husband-wife team by creating innovative compositions to elevate people to a higher level of life experience. In fact, she and her husband have launched a “Life Orchestra” project to convey deeper truths about human life through public performances.

Sayaka feels that their “Life Education” program of growth through inner evolution can bring peace to the world and enable human beings to tap their inner potential for achieving happiness.

The duo has also come up with a poetry collection about “happy encounters” with the self and others. Her musical creation “Warmth of Kioku” has been appreciated by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare. Another musical composition created by them titled “Life Creates Life” is about people of the world coming together, through the power of love. Sayaka and her husband, Masahiko Hashimoto, have deep interest in Indian philosophy and Sri Ravi Shankar’s Art of Living program.

With their deep interest in the energies that govern the cosmos, Masahiko and Sayaka plan to showcase an innovative Planetarium musical presentation program to be composed, produced and presented by them at the World Planetarium Congress and also the well-known Full Dome Festival to be held at Bruno in Europe. They are currently also preparing for an “Orchestra presentation” project to be performed by their team in 2022 in front of a global audience.

Through their musical endeavours, both wish to communicate the message of love and harmony to the people of this world.
