The "river" takes a joyous turn on its trip to the ocean. A couple of interesting things can be mentioned here: all of the music on this recording can be played live as It is heard; no "overdubbing" is necessary. Also, things that sound like Western instruments may be heard (an okedo sounds like a bass drum, shimedaiko played with the hands sounds like conga drums), but everyone is a traditional Japanese instrument.
