In 2020, she started researching choral teaching methods that enable a variety of expressions at the behavioral physiology laboratory. In 2022, “Effects of Warm-up Focused on the Mind-Body on Choral Performance” (Yui Katada, Naomi Yoshida, Ichiro Kita) was announced from Journal of Voice, an American medical journal. Currently, she is a visiting researcher at the Graduate School of Human Health Sciences, Tokyo Metropolitan University. http://yuikatada.com
