"I just can't tell you how much I love this cd. I am currently living in Japan and first heard Agatsuma when he played on a variety show. I was totally amazed by the beauty of the music and knew I had to go out and find this disc. The power of traditional tsugaru songs and the beauty of his contemporary compositions are perfectly complementary. It's a great cd for thinking, reading, relaxing, or just quietly re-energizing at the end of a long day. Get this disc and experience the richness of shamisen music."

"Excellent CD - one of the best I've purchased in years. This one won't gather dust in my CD library! Regardless of your individual musical tastes, I think you'll find something enjoyable on this CD. It's a virtual sampler of numerous musical styles blending an ancient instrument with modern stylings and rhythms. Enjoy!!"
