Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) - Blessings Of The Forest (森の恵み) (199X) [Full Album]

Tracklist: 00:00 Scene 1 10:47 Scene 2 21:14 Scene 3 Rip of the CD release from Matsushita Green Volunteer. Scene 1: In the morning, the forest begins to breathe with the chirping of birds. As you slowly walk deeper into the mountains, you will come across a small, quiet spring. This is the water of life nurtured by the forest. Scene 2: In the midst of sudden rain, it's so quiet, as if the forest is absorbing the distant thunder. The sound of cicadas at dusk after the rain. The cicadas bring coolness. Playing in the mountain stream. The birds' songs echo off the rock face. Scene 3: As we climbed through the forest with its autumn foliage, we came across a small waterfall. The murmuring waters of the forest gather from various sources. The blessings of the forest gently envelop us. Kokubo released this CD in conjunction with the Panasonic Electric Workers' Union and their "Green Volunteer Movement". Very brief blurb on the Green Volunteer Movement from the CD liner notes: "Our Advocacy for Global Environmental Protection: This is an initiative fully supported by the Panasonic Electric Workers' Union to protect and nurture greenery, including forest conservation. As an initiative for global environmental protection, we must count on as many people as possible to participate and ensure its success." The release date of this CD is unknown, and not directly specified anywhere on the CD or insert. Notes on the insert suggest it was released closely following the completion of Kokubo's Ion Series, which would place it around 1993 or 1994.
