For the second volume, ukulele player Hiroyuki Tominaga also participated in some of the songs. Since then, akiko and Tominaga have been holding collaborative ukulele-playing live performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/kanazawa.local-now.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/tommy_ukulelelady_20230623-1024x715.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8242\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u300cUluleLady_aiko_meets_Tommy\u300d (image from \u300eHiroyuki Tominaga\u300f Instagram)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">akiko&#8217;s relationship with Sinaroke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rock band SHEENA &amp;
