Default KECH-1029: Aoki Ookami to Shiroki Mejika: Genchou Hishi

I don't usually make "Top 10" or "Best of" lists about vgm albums, but this arrange album certainly deserves the very highest marks for it's unmatched quality.

This is an album that every vgm fan should experience, as the level of musicianship on these arrangements is quite staggering (I'd even say legendary).

Track 06 Lullaby rivals the beauty of Yo-Yo Ma's string playing anyday (it's on a Morin Khuur, similar to Ehru). This is perhaps the most expressive string performance ever from ANY vgm album, especially the 2nd half.

A memorable journey across mountains and deserts awaits your ears, please give this a listen.
