His real name is Masanori Takahashi (Kitarō is a stage name that means "happy"). He was born in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan and is a graduate of Toyohashi Commercial High School. After graduating, Kitaro moved to Tokyo to experience and become a part of the music scene, and it was there that he discovered the synthesizer. His first synthesizer was analog, and he recalls having “just loved the analog sound that it made compared to today's digital sound”.
His parents were first opposed to the idea of their son having a musical career. In an effort to maneuver him towards their vision, they made arrangements for him to take a job at a local company. In return, he left home without telling them. He supported himself by taking on several part time jobs such as cooking and civil service work, while composing songs at night.
In the early 1970s, he changed completely to keyboards. He joined the Japanese music group Far East Family Band which was formed in 1965, and toured with them around the world. While in Europe, he met the German electronica and former Tangerine Dream member Klaus Schulze. Schulze produced two albums for the band and gave Kitaro some tips for controlling synthesizers. In 1976, Kitaro left Far East Family Band and travelled through Asia (China, Laos, Thailand, India)
Universally acknowledged as the founding architect of new age music, Kitaro has achieved global acclaim over a more than three decade long career with a signature sound and a pioneering fusion of cultures, techniques and spheres of consciousness.
As a Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning artist, this incredibly prolific composer and performer has continued his reign in the international spotlight and at the forefront of musical innovation ever since his critically acclaimed soundtrack to the Japanese NHK documentary, Silk Road.
Most fundamentally, at its heart, Kitaro's music is always about sending a profound message of peace that has inspired countless fans from around the globe. Kitaro's latest album release, "Sacred Journey Of Ku-Kai Volume 4" was nominated at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, his 14th career nomination to date.

Whisper
Kitaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel girl, when I'm close to you
At times I'd wish that my (heart could tell you how)
Much I love you, but my heart speaks in whispers...
If my heart could speak you'd know
Girl if my heart could speak you'd know
That I love you so (and I'll never let you go oh-no)
If you can feel what I felt (just now, kiss me)
To prove that your love for me is true
Two hearts that beat as one, send signals
To each other in whispers...
[Chorus]
I would tell you how I felt, if i could find the words
To describe (the way I feel when you are near)
Whenever you are by my side
What I feel inside is deep and I just don't know
What to say (because my words get in the way)
Everytime I try to say (I love you) what I feel
Deep inside
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Kitaro's song "Whisper" express the difficulty of expressing love through words. The singer wishes that they could articulate their feelings directly to their loved one, but they are held back by their own insecurity and uncertainty. They long for a deeper connection with their partner and wish that their hearts could communicate with each other directly. The singer emphasizes the power of nonverbal communication, recognizing that true love and understanding can be conveyed through subtle gestures and shared experiences. The chorus repeats the central message of the song, that the singer is unable to express their love through words and can only hope that their partner will feel it through their actions and presence.
This song was released in 1992 as part of Kitaro's album "Dream." It was composed by Kitaro himself, with lyrics by Jon Anderson of the band Yes. The song has a slow and gentle melody, accompanied by Kitaro's signature synthesizer sound, creating a dreamy and atmospheric tone. "Whisper" has become a popular song for weddings and romantic occasions, as it speaks to the universal struggle of communicating love and the power of silent connection.

Two hearts that beat as one, send signals
When two souls in love are united, nonverbal messages are exchanged
To each other in whispers...
These signals are secretive and subtle
I would tell you how I felt, if i could find the words
In the event that I could identify the adequate language to do so, I would articulate my emotions to you
Whenever you are by my side
Whenever you are in my presence
What I feel inside is deep and I just don't know
My emotions are profound and I am unsure of how to express them
What to say (because my words get in the way)
I am hesitant to speak my sentiments, as I find verbalizing them difficult
Everytime I try to say (I love you) what I feel
When I attempt to articulate my love for you
Deep inside
My emotions are deep-rooted and at the core of my being
