The debut of the LIVE concert experience in San Rafael will offer exclusive and access to the artists via a KITARO VIP EXPERIENCE which includes Gold Circle seating, an intimate wine and cheese post-concert reception with Kitaro, an autographed tour poster, a Kojiki & The Universe DVD signed by the artist and personally autographed copy of Kitaro's newest Domo
Music CD release, Sacred
Journey of Ku-Kai Volume 5.
Created by Kitaro in collaboration with Astronomy Professor Kazunari Shibata, the entire DVD production of Kojiki and the Universe was developed using modern film editing techniques, as well as state-of-the-art hardware and software. In Japanese mythology, Kojiki is a story closely related to evolution of the universe. It describes the origin of Heaven, Earth and the creation of the Gods. Utilizing Kitaro's "Kojiki" score as the soundtrack, "Kojiki and The Universe" is a chronicle of astronomical research as well as a beautiful introduction to modern astronomy for everyone.

Also released on April 21st, Kitaro's Sacred
Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 5 follows the highly acclaimed Volumes 1-4 of the series, all of which have earned the artist Grammy nominations.
Having received Grammy nomination for volumes 1-4, Volume 5 is presented by Kitaro's long-time label, the Domo
Music Group (www.domomusicgroup.com). The Ku-Kai series concept arose after the global events on the fateful day of
September 11, 2001. Kitaro was traveling on a jet from Japan to Los Angeles when the transcontinental flight was diverted to Hawaii for 5 days due to the tragedy. It was during this time of disbelief and uncertainty that Kitaro envisioned the Ku-Kai series as a means of uniting the world through music embracing his frequently referenced universal message of peace.
The Sacred
Journey of Ku-Kai series is an earthly voyage that transports the listener to the eighty-eight sacred temples located on Shikoku Island in Japan, ancestral home of the beloved Buddhist holy man Ku-kai. The music, which pays homage to the true to life excursion made over 1100 years ago on Shikoku Island endures to this day. Each track on the album revolves around the unique bell sound from the individual temples, using actual sampling and Kitaro's inspired musical interpretations and distillations of their essences.
The Ku-Kai series is comprised of "Sacred
Journey Of Ku-Kai Vol. 1" in 2003, "Sacred
Journey Of Ku-Kai Vol. 2" in 2005, "Sacred
Journey Of Ku-Kai Vol. 3" in 2007, and "Sacred
Journey Of Ku-Kai Vol. 4" in 2010. The global admiration for Kitaro and his music that unites the world is, of all things, real and constant.
