“Mito’s soulful phrasing makes potentially worn-out songs like ‘Bye Bye Blackbird’, Ellington’s ‘Satin Doll’ and the immortal jazz standard ‘Body and Soul’ sound fresh and new. “ - Edward Blanco, All About Jazz

Ms. Mito released her solo album in 2011, which has been well received. She is based in New York and performs in the New York and Tokyo jazz scenes in venues such as Jazz at Kitano, Club Bonafide, Tomi Jazz, Rakuya and Tokyo Club.
