Suite: Another Kyoto, II. To the Nostalgic Satoyama — Theme of “Forest Kyoto”
Another Kyoto: Forests of Kyoto EditionHakasé Tarō

In the deep green forest, with beautiful birds chirping cheerfully and the clear water of a brook, the slightly prickly sadness of a husband who’s been left behind is gently soothed by the calm melody.

It really makes you realize again that music has the power to heal people.

ZigeunerweisenHakasé Tarō52rank/position

It is included on VIOLINISM ~ACOUSTIC BEST~, released in 2000.

“Zigeunerweisen” is known as a technically demanding violin piece that is flashy and dramatic while carrying a sense of melancholy.

In this version, piano and guitar arrangements not found in the original are added, making a strong impression not only with drama and pathos, but also with palpable passion and a glossy richness.

Please give this performance—a feat likely only Taro Hakase could achieve—a listen.

Hymn of Ten Thousand PraisesHakasé Tarō53rank/position

A magnificent instrumental piece by Taro Hakase! Its Japanese-style tones and melody are popular with couples who make their entrance in traditional attire.

We highly recommend opening the doors and making your entrance about 30 seconds in, right when the main theme begins! Tuxedos and wedding dresses are dreamy, of course, but since we were born in Japan, choosing a formal montsuki hakama and a white uchikake is also a wonderful option.
