She completed the academic program in only 2 years of studies (normally it lasts 4 years) and graduated with excellent grades under prof. Evgeny Zarafiants in 2000. In July 2001, she got Master of Music Art degree. From 2001 to 2003 she worked as assistant in the piano class of prof. E. Zarafiants in the same academy.

Naofumi Kaneshige, prof. Kyoko Ogawa, prof. Hitoshi Kobayashi and prof. Evgeny Zarafiants. Currently she is a part-time lecturer at Aichi University of the Arts in Japan.

She has given numerous solo recitals and various concerts as soloist, accompanist and chamber music player in Croatia, Slovenia, Italy and Japan. She also works hard on research and dissemination of Croatian composers and music. In February 2015 she has published the first CD in the world which includes the complete solo piano works of Dora Pejačević from Japanese CD label "Herb Classics" and in September 2015 she held 11 concerts-tour in Croatia on the 130th birth anniversary of Dora Pejačević.
Dora Pejačević (10 September 1885 -- 5 March 1923): Walzer-Capricen, Suite for Piano, Op. 28, written in 1910. Performed by Yoko Nishii in 2013 (live) These excellent inventive little piano pieces, in the form of a piano suite, are a high-point in the solo-piano oeuvre of Pejačević. They are full of imagination; a listener will be surprised by how different of character they are, even though most of them don't exceed 1-2 minutes in length.

Japanska pijanistica Yoko Nishii izvela djela Dore Pejačević u Budimpešti
Na inicijativu Veleposlanstva RH u Budimpešti, a u suradnji s Veleposlanstvom Japana u Budimpešti, u dvorani mađarskog Muzeja glazbene povijesti, održan je 27. rujna 2016. solistički koncert japanske pijanistice Yoko Nishii. Kuriozitet ovog kulturnog projekta, kako su to istaknuli i domaćini, vlp. Gordan Grlić Radman i njegov japanski kolega Junichi Kosuge u svom obraćanju nazočnima, jest činjenica da on predstavlja svojevrsnu poveznicu triju država: hrvatske, japanske i mađarske. Pijanistički koncert Yoko Nishii, ovom prigodom, obuhvatio je kompozicije hrvatske skladateljice Dore Pejačević, japanskog Hisatada Otaka, nezaobilaznog Ferenca LisztaĂĂĂĂÂ te čuvene preludije Sergeija Rachmaninoffa.

Yoko Nishii rođena je u Iseu, u Japanu, a nakon što je diplomirala na sveučilištu u Tokiju francusku književnost, 1998. upisala je Muzičku akademiju Ino Mirković u Lovranu. Od 2005.-2007. polaznica je naprednog studija na Muzičkoj akademiji u Zagrebu. Trenutačno podučava na umjetničkoj akademiji u Japanu. Održala je brojne solo recitale i dobitnica je više nagrada, i to u Hrvatskoj, Sloveniji, Italiji te dakako Japanu. Aktivno radi na istraživanju i upoznavanju hrvatskih skladatelja i njihove glazbe. U veljači 2015. objavila je prvi japanski CD u svijetu pod naslovom "Herb Classics", a koji uključuje kompletna solo klavirska djela Dore Pejačević. U rujnu 2015. održala je turneju od 11 koncerata diljem Hrvatske, u povodu 130. rođendana Dore Pejačević.
Nakon koncerta, dva su veleposlanstva, hrvatsko i japansko, priredili domjenak na kojemu se služilo japanski sake i hrvatsko vino te pršut, sir i masline. Svoju potporu dalo je i predstavništvo âMlinarâ u Mađarskoj ponudom asortimana svojih pekarskih proizvoda. Na taj je način kulturni događaj dobio i zamjetnu dimenziju gastronomske promocije Republike Hrvatske.
