Kojo no tsuki is very beautiful, well-known piece I think. Kojo means ruined castle, tsuki is the moon, so "Kojo no tsuki" actually means "The moon over the ruined castle. " It has very clear and vivid images.
This was my grandmother's favorite. Actually, I played this tune for her funeral. Unforgettable memory.
I can't help thinking this music has a very strong and strage power. I never ever forget what I experienced before. I was playing on the stage, and the venue was very wide space.(like a department store) People come and go, always crowded.
As soon as I started to play this, people actually "STOP" moving!! Yes, it is true. They physically stop their movements. I think they listened the tune, felt something, and the "something" made them frozen!!
Anyway, everytime I play this melody, I always experience the kind of "power".
Recently, I made an album which is called, "Very Japanese".
If you are interested, please go tohere to just listen or to buy MP3 file.
Music sheet of this particular original arrangement can be purchased in here!

Hope you will enjoy the sound of "Very Japanese" which has a huge and strange power within.
