Artist Statement

My parents Yuriko (Lois) and Junichi (John) were born in Vancouver, made their way to Montreal, got married, and had me as their fifth child. I released two vinyl records albums in 2023 - "Me With a Fake Moustache" and the accompanying "Party" - a special "covers album" of songs written by friends. Both albums are available on major streaming sites, as well as a free download on bandcamp. By today's standards - the desktop version of the hashimoto.ca website is far more elaborate than it needs to be - but I just had to ! On social media sites the address is HashimotoTheBand. Essentially a "stage hog", I jump at any opportunity to perform live.
