We welcome "KAUNUS DESIGN, S.L." and

"Bechstein Japan Co., Ltd." as our newest sponsors

We are pleased to welcome KAUNUS DESIGN, S.L. as a new partner of the Japan Jazz Pop Piano Competition. Founded and led by Zayda Jiménez Guillamón, KAUNUS designs and produces exquisite luxury piano benches that seamlessly blend elegance with innovation. I had the privilege of visiting Zayda’s office in Spain, where I experienced the benches firsthand. What beauties they are! The quality and texture of the materials, along with the unique height-adjustment mechanism, elevate these benches to a level of craftsmanship rarely seen today.

Bechstein Centrum Tokyo to all participants for the 2025 JJPPC. Moreover, there will be a "Bechstein Award" given to the second highest Gold Medal winner for both Jazz and Pop sections: a whole weekday reservation at the Bechstein Saal, free of charge. We hope this will be helpful in developing your skills further.
