An article about my talk has just been released by Harvard University!
(Link in bio.)
It beautifully captures the essence of what I shared during my lecture, and I’d be truly grateful if you could take a moment to read it.
And with that, I’ve officially completed all the events of this North American journey. I’ll be flying back to Japan tomorrow.
First thing I’m doing when I get home?
A big bowl of miso soup!!

17歳の夏に出会ってからずっと、RADWIMPSは俺の人生において最強で最高、そして最愛のロックバンドです。
20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR、ファイナル。洋次郎と武田をはじめ、RADチーム全員が命を懸けて築き上げた舞台。
そんな特別な一日に、10年ぶりにふたりと一緒にステージに立ち、デビュー曲「25コ目の染色体」を演奏できて、最高に幸せでした。
森くん、エノくん、ジュンくんの素晴らしい音と存在にも支えられ、自分でも不思議なくらい自然体で、みんなといい音楽を奏でることができました。
この、人生で最も嬉しい瞬間を迎えることができたのは、僕らの音楽を受け取って愛してくれた、あなたのおかげです。
RADWIMPSと出会ってくれて、本当にありがとう！
生き抜いてきてよかった！！

Ever since I first discovered RADWIMPS in the summer I was 17, the band has been the greatest, most meaningful, and most deeply loved presence in my life.
The final show of the 20th ANNIVERSARY LIVE TOUR was a stage built with everything Yojiro, Takeda, and the entire RAD team had poured their hearts and lives into.
On such an extraordinary day, standing on that stage again with the two of them for the first time in ten years, and playing our debut song, "25コ目の染色体," filled me with a joy beyond words.
Supported by the incredible sound and presence of Mizuki, Masafumi, and Jun, I felt almost strangely at ease. I was able to be completely myself, simply making honest, beautiful music together with everyone.
That I was able to reach this moment, one of the happiest of my life, is entirely because of you who received our music and loved it.
Thank you, truly, for finding RADWIMPS.
I’m so glad I made it through to this point!

41歳になりました！
たくさんのお祝いのメッセージ、ありがとうございます✨
「音楽家が、より純粋に音楽を楽しみ続けられる社会づくりに貢献する」
40歳、全力で駆け抜けてきた中で自然と生まれてきた、自分のミッションです。
この1年、この想いを胸に行動し続けていきたいと思います🔥
もちろん、その一歩目は自分自身が思いっきり音楽を楽しむこと！
またステージで会える日を楽しみにしてます☺️

I just turned 41!
Thank you so much for all the warm birthday messages✨
“To contribute to a society where musicians can continue to enjoy music purely and sustainably.”
This is the mission that naturally emerged within me as I gave everything I had throughout my 40th year.
Over the next year, I want to keep taking action with this belief at the center of my life 🔥
And of course, the very first step is for me to fully enjoy music myself.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you again on stage ☺️
Satoshi Yamaguchi in action at the LIVELab 🥁
A couple weeks ago, Satoshi visited the LIVELab to share his journey with musician’s dystonia and the research that grew out of it. He also showed us voice-controlled drumming and gave us an incredible live performance. Thanks again for visiting @satoshi_y21 !

A few more moments from our special evening with Satoshi Yamaguchi.
Following the presentation and performance, Shigehisa Kuriyama, Director of the Reischauer Institute, had the opportunity to meet Yamaguchi-san and thank him personally for sharing his story of resilience and innovation with the Harvard community.
From thoughtful conversation to a captivating live demonstration of the VXD system, the evening brought together music and science in a truly memorable way.

The Harvard Gazette has published a closer look at drummer Satoshi Yamaguchi of RADWIMPS following the Reischauer Institute’s February 12 event that featured his story and a selection of live music.
In “The sound stopped suddenly,” the article explores how a rare neurological condition interrupted Yamaguchi’s ability to play — and how collaboration between artists, clinicians, and researchers helped him return to music. The piece reflects on the intersection of performance, innovation, and resilience that was central to the February discussion.

Here are some photos from last week’s performance and lecture with Satoshi Yamaguchi @satoshi_y21 ! 🥁🎶🎤
Thank you so much Satoshi for sharing your journey and research on musician’s dystonia, for the incredible performance, and for introducing us to voice-controlled drumming (VXD)! Your story, playing, and research were truly inspiring 🎵💛
Please come back and visit anytime! 😄

Hi folks!! Sorry for the late notice, but…
Join the University of Windsor as we host a public lecture with Satoshi Yamaguchi, drummer for Japanese rock band RADWIMPS. 🥁 🧠
🗓️ February 23 | 1 - 2:30 pm
📍Alan Wildeman Centre for Creative Arts, Room 107
🎟️ Free and open to the public
After developing musician’s dystonia, Yamaguchi helped pioneer voice-controlled drums that allowed him to return to performance, and reshaped how we think about musician health. Yamaguchi’s research-led journey connects him to UWindsor through a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) partnership development grant, through which UWindsor HK professor Dr. Nadia Azar and her collaborators across Canada expanded The Canadian Percussion Network.

ボストンではMITとハーバード大学にて発表！
人生初のアメリカ東海岸でしたが、もうすっかりボストンに魅力されてしまいました😂
両大学とも講演は大盛況で、VXDのことはもちろん、ドラマーの実態調査研究に関して、より具体的な質問をたくさん受けることができました。
また、数日間滞在する時間があったので、両大学のラボをいくつか訪問しました。教授やラボのメンバーから今後の研究に向けてのアドバイスをもらったり、コラボレーションの可能性について議論できたことは、とても有意義でした。
スタンフォード大も含めて、今回の訪問は決して単発で終わらせるものではなく、ここから各大学との連携をさらに深めていきたいと思って来たので、その手応えが得られてとても嬉しいです！
「問いを共有し、共に探究する。」
これがサイエンスの醍醐味だなと、ひしひしと感じています。
そしてMIT名物のバナナラウンジ(バナナ食べ放題の憩いの場)は、バナナ好きの僕にとっては天国のようでした 笑
近い将来、必ずまた研究でボストンに戻ってくるぞ🥁🔥

Boston, presenting at MIT and Harvard.
It was my first time on the East Coast of the U.S and I have already fallen completely in love with Boston 😂
Both lectures were completely full. I received many thoughtful and concrete questions about my large scale survey research on drummers and VXD! The conversations became deeper and more specific than I could have hoped for.
I was able to stay for several days, which gave me time to visit a number of labs at both universities. Speaking with professors and lab members, receiving advice for the next phase of my research, and discussing potential collaborations was incredibly meaningful.
Including Stanford, this trip was never meant to be a one time visit. I came with the intention of building long term relationships with each university, and I truly felt that momentum beginning to grow. That made me very happy.
“Sharing questions and exploring them together.”
That is the true joy of science.
And of course, the legendary MIT Banana Lounge with unlimited bananas. For someone who loves bananas as much as I do, it honestly felt like heaven 🍌✨
I will definitely be back in Boston for research in the near future 🥁🔥
