  • I'm uploading a better quality version of the same album I had uploaded several months ago; the other one had many annoying glitches that were very audible. This one is somewhat better. I'm sure you can find a better quality version if you were to purchase the album by visiting the Celestial Harmonies web site or looking for it online.
    Tracklist:
    00:00 - 06:16 / Rokudan
    06:17 - 14:12 / Midare
    14:20 - 32:03 / Zangetsu
    32:12 - 43:08 / Godan-ginuta
    43:15 - 54:50 / Chidori
    I don't own the copyrights of this music.

      Listening from France... and I love japanese, but also balinese and african music. Here in Paris we have a japanese musician, Kengo Saito, who plays on an afghan instrument. If you can find his album listen to it. Its name is "Japanistan".

      yes. i'm constantly in awe that right now, within seconds, I can listen to virtually any song _ever_ recorded, for free, in my own apartment.
      it's easy to take for granted because we're so used to it now, but it truly is amazing. I grew up in the 90s so I remember a time without internet: buying CD's from the store, portable cd players that skipped if you even slightly bump it and ran out of batteries way too fast, CD's that won't play because they got a few scratches on them, so much more...😂

    I'm shocked no one posted the lyrics to zangetsu, they're pretty heart wrenching.
    Hidden among the pines
    On the spreading shore,
    The moon's beams
    So early in the dawn
    Are awakening, filling with light
    The moon's heavenly palace
    Where you now belong
    Your fond memory
    Will keep returning
    In the dimness
    Of the hazy moon
    As the months
    Run their course.
    It was written after the death the composer's pupil.

    Thanks, now I know it's Koto. Sharp and flat notes make this style special, a feeling of sadness and uncertainty overtakes listeners. Been influenced by it since a little boy.

    Thanks a lot. It's a pleasure to dicover and to listen. It makes me travelling by the sound of the instrument and thanks to the art and habilities of the artist.This music helps me much more for relaxing rather than music which are made with artifitial sounds and artifitial instruments.

    With regards to Japanese musical instruments, the only thing I like more than koto is biwa. Shamisen is nice, too, of course, but the koto is very pretty, and when Yoshimura Nanae plays, it truly *is* an art. x) Thank you for posting!

    That's all and now to tackle life's inadequacy I go with my imagination.
