In this album, I have especially made a recording of two pieces performed by the Paris National Opera Theater Orchestra and have also made the recording of the piece ÒII, PrayerÓ from ÒNara Heijo Sento (Transfer of the Capital to Nara) Year 1300 Commemoration Event, Yamatoji Symphony~ Yuukyu no Yamato karaÓ, performed by Yamatoji Symphoniker Orchestra which was formed as an orchestra without borders. The album has a program with even more variety than the last.

The album title is "Kuge."
If you look at things that you normally canÕt see but using your heart, you will feel as though you could see something. Like you may see beautiful flowers in the sky. This is my particular interpretation but as I was composing for this album, I put in my own thought. I am turning the globe as always, thinking, my thoughts turning from this to that, from Asia and as far as to the Eurasian Continent. Shall I call these journeys of imagination that connect Euro-Asia? As I keep the landscapes of my imagination in my heart and think Òah, this is what they are returning to meÓ as the artist of each country impresses me wonderfully by his or her performance.
