The critically-acclaimed performer is currently one of the most sought-after pianists in the world. He has performed with countless esteemed conductors and premier orchestras. Being born blind, Tsuji has been praised by fans and critics for his unique learning technique. Tsujii will learn orchestra pieces by ear in addition to Braille. During an interview, he mentioned, “I learn pieces by listening, but it doesn't mean I'm copying CDs or another person's interpretation. I ask my assistants to make a special cassette tape for me. They split the piece into small sections, such as several bars, and recorded it (one hand at a time). I call these tapes 'music sheets for ears.' It takes me a few days to complete a short piece, but it takes one month to complete a big sonata or concerto." Tsujji is also a phenomenon on stage. Not able to see the conductor, he said that he had learned the technique of listening to the conductor’s breath and sensing the events happening around him.
