Minami built a strong relationship in particular with Danish trumpeter, Kasper Tranberg. They performed concerts including Copenhagen Jazz Festival, and recorded a CD together. In Japan, Minami performs mainly as a leader of a group “GO THERE”. He is also known for the collaboration with Chie Ayado and Naruyoshi Kikuchi, Jim Black, Chris Speed, and the legendary Japanese vocalist Sumiko Yoseyama.

In 2008, his diary on the official website was published as “Between The White Key and The Black Key” from Shogakukan.
