A good feel albumwith Latin backbone that makes me smile... I can see where SATORU's music would fit in perfectly in a set of music on a radio program. The percussion is cantagious. Thanks for sharing. - Green Arrow Radio
Very lush rich sound. - Indie Music Stop

As a co-founder, he established Viz Media and developed the company into the largest Manga (Japanese comics) and Anime (Japanese animation) publisher in the USA. A few years ago, he became a part-time consultant for the company to pursue his life-long passion, music. He also is a singer for one of the most exciting San Francisco progressive rock bands, THE THUNDERS.
