Yoshiaki Hoshi (星 吉昭, Hoshi Yoshiaki, March 16, 1946 – October 1, 2004), born in Wakayanagi, Miyagi, Japan, was a Japanese musician, composer, arranger and synthesizer player, best known for his band Himekami.
Hoshi won the 1971 Victor Electronic Music Contest, and founded Himekami Sensation in 1980. His debut album was Oku no Hosomichi, released in 1981. In 1984, the group name was changed to Himekami. Hoshi was known for being very friendly with his fans, and thanking them for purchasing his works. The music was basically electronic, new-age with sounds of nature and elements of traditional Japanese music.
Hoshi died of a heart attack on October 1, 2004, at 1:21am.[1][2] His funeral service was held on October 24, 2004, at a Shinto shrine in Hiraizumi, Iwate Prefecture.[3]
