KYOUMEI – Harmonic Life by Hiroki Okano is a spiritually evocative and cinematic album that dissolves cultural and musical boundaries. Fusing sweeping orchestral arrangements with ancient Japanese instruments—most notably the rare Sanukite stone—and featuring vocals from Japan and Taiwan, the album unfolds as a heartfelt prayer for healing and harmony.
Rooted in the sacred landscapes of Sanuki, Japan, and created through global collaboration during a time of isolation, KYOUMEI offers a deeply personal yet universally resonant listening experience.
“I’ve followed Hiroki Okano’s music for decades and have always admired how his deep connection to nature and spirit translates into timeless, evocative soundscapes. With Kyoumei, the expands his musical palette, blending lush orchestral textures with the resonant tones of the Japanese Sanukite. The result is a profoundly spiritual and meditative journey—perfectly fitting for the ambient music legend he has become.”
– Ron Korb, 2-time Grammy Nominee and Global Music Award “Best of Show” winner
“It is magnificent, Hiroki! The vocal choirs are sweeping and the ambitious compositions are supported by exquisite musicianship. My personal favorite track is ‘KYOUMEI – Harmonic Life’ — it is so life-affirming! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with me. I will keep listening to it for a long time, I have no doubt.”
– Madi Das, Grammy-Nominated Kirtan Artist / Producer / Musician
“This is the most beautiful, floating resonant album, excellent for meditation and reaching a sense of inner calm.”
– Kitaro, Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award winner
