From the opening chant of the Yakushiji monks, it is apparent that this is going to be a special offering from Kitaro. The legendary World Music pioneer's latest album is a 2-SACD set recorded over 3 evenings in the sacred Yakushiji Temple in the ancient Japanese capital, Nara.

With full instrumentation, Kitaro reprises 9 favorite compositions from earlier albums, plus his Golden Globe Award-Winning theme from the Oliver Stone film "Heaven & Earth" & 2 previously unreleased tracks. This is a tour de force for Kitaro & ensemble. All the drama, grace & humanity of his usual offerings are here with the added immediacy of the live recording & the profound spirit of the Yakushiji monks who appear on the previously unreleased "Wa" in addition to the opening track. Live in Yakushiji is a broad & deep journey, to inner realms as well as exotic earthly destinations. After this journey, you will definitely feel like you've gone somewhere!!

Also available in DVD with an exclusive interview with Kitaro & History of the Yakushiji Temple.
