Career

In 2016 Arakaki performed in Tokyo with Hebe Lucía Hernández; the recording of this performance is titled as taking place at Tango Sol Nihombashi [2].

In 2017 Arakaki and Agostina Tarchini won the Mundial de Tango in the Tango Escenario category [3].

On 17 May 2026 Arakaki performed in Japan with Carolina Aberici [4]. The recording of that performance is titled as an event of Salonde Angelica NE・GO・TO, and it gives his partner's name as "CAROLINA ALBERICI" rather than Aberici; sources therefore differ on the spelling of her surname [4].
