Editorial Reviews

The title, which means ‘heavenly sky’, reflects the open air environment of Kitaro’s home studio. On the opening track, a child’s laughter is heard. The album’s theme concerns images and impressions of childhood.

"I send a message of sound toward the sky, engulfing empty space, soaring far beyond grasp, high above the mountain tops, beyond ocean waves, stretching to reach the Andes and lightly touching Nepal . . . now catch the sound and feel the light by feeling things which are with life . . . this is a beginning – connecting the dream to the color of your breathless heart – peace and tranquility, you need only to sing . . . it is for you" --Kitaro

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, October 3, 2000

I absolutely LOVED this CD, and have owned it or it's predecessor for over 10 years....and listen to it often. The music is beautiful, and to me at least, very unique.

Kitaro is excelent at taking the listener on a vivid journey through the spiritual realm. Tenku is the first album that ever touched me on a spiritual level. It's great to relax and meditate with. Thanks Kitaro for your beautiful gift of touching the spirit with your music!

4.0 out of 5 stars Tenku, September 7, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tenku (Audio CD)

This album I purchased as an oldie 33 spd. vinyl. It is pretty good, but lacked the intensity of the others. Of course being a fanatic of Kitaro, anything by him is awesome. I was introduced to his music by a friend and was hooked instantly. I have neglected purchasing some of his newer works due to other interests. I will update my collection in the near future.
