He has been actively performing shows in different areas such as Tokyo and Osaka. He has performed as the opening act for popular Japanese POP/R&B singers such as AI, SIRUP, Original Love and more. He currently hosts his own radio show “KEI_HAYASHI’s All That Jam”, aired every thursday night on FM NORTH WAVE.
