After the borders finally reopened, Ms Kuribayashi is looking forward to being on stage with a Melbourne-based trumpeter Niran Dasika in person, finally.

"I have been listening to his music in the form of data. Finally we can do a live performance together. This is so special and I'm so grateful," Ms Kuribayashi said.

Ms Kuribayashi will play in Sydney on the 13th, in Adelaide on the 14th and again in Melbourne on the 18th.
