Release date September 5, 2002

This album compiles 7 tracks by Kitaro used in the NHK show "Kitaro - Nagara gawa wo kanaderu". Includes "Mizu ni inorite," and new tracks "Shizuku no Mai," and "Nagare no naka de".

Ashu Chakan (Asian Café) is a blend of 15 flavors to be savored from some of Kitaro’s multiple Grammy Nominated albums, including his 43rd Grammy Award album ‘Thinking of You’.

’Asian Café’ is an imaginary place. It is the café that exists in the hearts and minds of all who visit. While sipping their heart’s desire in their own special way, each relishes the leisurely flow of time. Wafting through the atmosphere of this special space is the gentle calm of Asia. By and by, a heart-to-heart conversation begins. It is a half-forgotten conversation with your true self.
