But not the way the Stones did it:
Another oriental wunderkind:
Mariko Muranaka is a standing cello performer (acoustic/electric) with solid technique and unique perspective, and her reputation reaches worldwide. She is also the first Japanese solo musician ever to be seen on Cirque de Soleil's stages.
Currently based in Las Vegas, she travels all over the world to perform on stage. Also, as a protege of Mr. Hitoshi Konno in his Japan's top studio musicians group, she has an extensive career as a recording artist. Besides cello, she also tours as a violinist, and produces her own projects by composing and performing her original pieces
Very recently, in Spring 2024 Mariko has performed as acoustic cello soloist on "The World of Hans Zimmer: A New Dimension" tour in Europe, performing 35 shows in 14 countries. On the 31st of May and 1st of June she has performed once again on the "Hans Zimmer Live Tour" in Dubai, with more shows following in 2024 and 2025 in the US.
In 2023, Mariko performed as an electric cello soloist on "Hans Zimmer Live Tour" with Hans Zimmer himself in 16 countries in Europe and all shows in arenas were sold out. Also she performed with " Two Steps from Hell" as a an electric cello soloist in Wacken Open Air metal music festival in August 2023 in front of an audience of 50.000 people.
She seems equally comfortable with classical music and heavy metal. She even writes her own pieces.
