Kojiki

Marking the 25th anniversary of its debut, Domo Records will reissue a deluxe edition of Kitaro's critically acclaimed album “Kojiki” remastered from the original source tapes.

Accompanied by the string section from George Lucas’ Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, Kitaro masterfully recreates the depths of the ancient Kojiki chronicle which recounts the birth of Japan and its people.

This 2-disc set also includes an accompanying 55 minute DVD-Video that captures a memorable live performance from the artist’s 1990 World Tour.

Tamayura

As one of the founding fathers of the new age and world music genres known to his legions of fans by a single word, Kitaro, has consistently been at the forefront of the international music scene. Perhaps best known for his cutting-edge studio technique and flawless, sold-out live performances, Kitaro continues his tradition of carving his own musical and visual, artistic path on Tamayura. This special one night musical performance was choreographed by Koichi Tamano with The Harupin-Ha Butoh Dance Theater who bring the characters of the story to life.

On Tamayura, Kitaro takes his audience into life in a microscopic world and gives fans an artful look at what the lives of these characters are like. In this “micro” world, very unusual circumstances and situations occur. But, it’s a beautiful world, where children in bubbles play and interact with the Fairy Of The Waterlily.

Through his look into this previously unseen world, Kitaro demonstrates the differences between our lives and the lives of those who exist in a microscopic place. As Kitaro notes, “Through my work on Tamayura, I hope that we all awaken in a manner which will help us to realize something individually personal. I'd like everyone who enjoys Tamayura to take from this event something that makes us all feel different.”

The Essential Kitaro

CD+DVD Double Disc Set. The sheer breadth of Kitaro's eclecticism is on full display here, with selections from his essential soundtrack work collected on The Best of Silk Road (which accompanied the acclaimed Japanese documentary series) and 2002's The Soong Sisters, to his Broadway score for Cirque Ingenieux, as well as more personal creations such as the two-volume Sacred Journey of Kukai, a surprising melting pot of prog-rock guitar, haunting woodwinds, snippets of nature sounds and even Buddhist monk chanting. Though his studio output is indispensable, it's the live realm where Kitaro really shines. Thus, the DVD that complements this CD collection contains stunning footage of two very different but equally epic performances: a 1999 concert in Spain and a 2004 show in China, both demonstrating that Kitaro's music truly crosses borders to deliver a universal message.
