Tenku

The title, which means ‘heavenly sky’, reflects the open air environment of Kitaro’s home studio. On the opening track, a child’s laughter is heard. The album’s theme concerns images and impressions of childhood.

"I send a message of sound toward the sky, engulfing empty space, soaring far beyond grasp, high above the mountain tops, beyond ocean waves, stretching to reach the Andes and lightly touching Nepal . . . now catch the sound and feel the light by feeling things which are with life . . . this is a beginning – connecting the dream to the color of your breathless heart – peace and tranquility, you need only to sing . . . it is for you" --Kitaro
