[New Album release] 「The Enlightenment -SATORI-」(Album Trailer) / Kanho Yakushiji 

I am pleased to announce that my new album “The Enlightenment -SATORI-“ will be available for digital release on August 16 and for CD release on October 11. This album reflects the changes in my heart over the past few years as I have engaged with Buddhist sutras and music.
Originally, the music of the Buddhist sutras was based on the concept of "healing," and I continued to compose this music with the hope that it would help reset the mind. However, during this process, I learned that in order to feel "healing," it is important to understand the world on the opposite side.
In other words, to experience "stillness," one must also experience "movement."
Therefore, especially in the music I have composed over the past two years, I have expanded the world of "movement" by incorporating various styles such as hip-hop, rock, and jazz, in addition to songs with multi-layered choruses and acoustic arrangements.
We live in a world of dualism-sorrow and joy, good and evil, and so on.
These opposing concepts may seem to never intersect, but there is a truth that can only be seen by experiencing both, like a pendulum swinging in our daily lives.
That truth is that there is actually no difference between the two; they are essentially the same.
Perhaps this is what "enlightenment" means, but even if we attain it through knowledge, we quickly lose sight of it again.
"Enlightenment" is not a goal; it is always with us, and I want to use it as a guidepost to make our lives more vibrant.
That is how I feel now.
I will be holding my Asia concert tour this October. I look forward to sharing this feeling with you. I look forward to sharing this feeling with you.
Please look forward to the album “The Enlightenment -SATORI-“ and the Asia tour.
Thank you all.
