My mission is to provide all artists of marching bands, drumcorps, indoor-winds with arrangements that make them feel the fun, drama and excitement of music.
Hayato Kawakami
Marching Music Arranger

Greetings From Japan

I’m Hayato Kawakami.
I have been arranging music for marching bands in Japan for more than 10 years.

In Japan, there are only a few opportunities a year for marching performances.
After practicing for more than six months, many teams perform only once in the qualifying round of a competition, and unfortunately, if they lose in the qualifying round, the show is over for that year.
For this reason, Japanese marching needs to be arranged in such a way that the theme of the show is properly conveyed to the audience just by watching it once.
This means that for both the audience and the judges, even the grandmother or friend of a performer who is seeing marching for the first time can understand and enjoy their show.
This is true for all ages and levels.
No matter what stage your team is on, we can help you get the most out of your performers and make marching a great experience.

My marching band arrangement style may be a little different from the popular style in US.
It has the potential to become your team’s personality and bring a special performance that other teams don’t.

Now, let’s excite the field with me.

My Programs Are Tailored To Suit You

Competition for Marching Band / Drumcorps / Indoor-winds

Aim for a high score so-called “Box 5” with orchestration and arrangement techniques that showcase the best elements of your team.
Make a good impression on the audience with consistent musicianship from the impressive opening to the ending.

EVENT / Parade

I provide arrangements that can be enjoyed by both performers and audiences who are not familiar with music.

CONCERT

Orchestration to make the whole concert hall sound beautiful.
It’s a little different from an arrangement that is supposed to be played outdoors.
