Kitaro wusste den japanischen Stil und die Melodik der westlichen romantischen Tradition auf eine exotische Weise zu verbinden, die auf der Welt wie ein kleines Wunder wahrgenommen wurde. "Diese Musik entspringt nicht meinem Geist", sagt er. "Sie kommt vom Himmel und geht durch meinen Körper und aus meinen Fingern heraus in die Komposition ein. Manchmal wundere ich mich. Ich übe nie. Ich lese keine Noten und notiere keine Musik, aber meine Finger bewegen sich. Ich frage mich: "Von wem ist dieses Stück?". Diese Haltung zur Musik verweist mit Stolz auf eine intensive Spiritualität, die Kitaro zu einem Golden Globe verhalf, ihm zahlreiche Grammy-Award-Nominierungen für seine Arbeit bescherte - und ihm im weiteren Verlauf seiner Karriere schließlich den begehrten Grammy Award einbrachte.

Kitaro's exotic blend of Japanese styles and romantic melodies in the western tradition was a phenomenon all over the world and led to further acclaimed albums, remaining an indelible artistic trademark over the decades. “This music is not from my mind,” he said. “It is from heaven, going through my body and out my fingers through composing. Sometimes I wonder. I never practice. I don't read or write music, but my fingers move. I wonder, 'Whose song is this?'” This approach to music boasts a spiritual intensity that has helped earn Kitaro a Golden Globe, numerous Grammy Award nominations for his works - and eventually the coveted Grammy Award later on in his career.
This work is in a beautiful high format 10 CD box set with a German/English booklet showing an overview of his music, starting with the famous soundtracks from Sllkroad to his actual works Ku-Kai.
