tiny desk concerts JAPAN(2024)

Experience music at its best and most original

Tiny Desk Concerts Japan is a music series that brings Japan's most compelling artists into the working offices of NHK for intimate, stripped-down performances. Inspired by NPR's beloved international format, the show strips away concert hall grandeur and replaces it with the raw immediacy of a small desk, a few instruments, and genuine musical connection. Each episode captures artists across genres performing in unconventional spaces within NHK's headquarters, creating a refreshing counterpoint to traditional live music television. The series celebrates how powerful music can be when freed from production excess, letting talent and personality take centre stage.
