Hi Shigeki,

Wow this is something really different from you, but it's instantly captivating.

I love the music, and it's extremely engaging and well produced but the thing that I really love are those lyrics.

I love the sound of the voice as a beautiful instrument in and of itself, which sounds like an instrument to my ears because I don't understand Japanese. So it's just a beautiful sound.

But when I read the lyrics I find them to be very Zen, and not at all like an English lyric that you would expect in these circumstances.

It's fascinating to me that there's not really an action-oriented drama going on here, but there is a poetic, or internal, feeling based drama that's going on.

It's a completely different art form I think and so far as lyrics are concerned and I really like it.

Fascinating!!

By the way, have you ever put together an entire album of just really soft, gently orchestrated vocal ballads? If you have I would love to know where to find those on the internet, or even purchase an album or two of them if they exist.

Those Japanese female vocals are profoundly soothing. I could sit on the couch and listen to them all day.
