"Voyage III – Kyoto" is our signature song. An anthem dedicated to the city of Kyoto. It was first released on our debut album back in 2006. Since then, we’ve performed it at every one of our shows.
When we finally arrived in Kyoto, we knew we had to play this piece in a place that truly captured the spirit of the city. One afternoon, while walking along the iconic Kamo River with our friend Masafumi Komatsu—who had guided us through a beautiful sound exploration of Kyoto—he led us to a spot where the river branches out and forms a small patch of land in the middle of the stream. Standing there, with the water flowing on both sides, we instantly felt it was the perfect place for our musical tribute.
We had the place. We had the song. All we needed was a beautiful sunset… and Kyoto gifted us one.
After twenty years of making music inspired by Japan, this moment felt like the perfect way to close a circle and celebrate the passion that has guided us all along.

You just sit on the ground without putting down any kind of tarp or covering?
Are you not worried about having a soiled bottom?
Thank you for sharing your passion with us! What a wonderful experience you were able to have in kyoto and japan.
I’ve never heard of your band before and I was shocked to read about your history on your website, particularly how many albums you’ve recorded. I thoroughly enjoyed the song you shared, looking forward to more.
Well it’s not bad. I hope Kyoto was everything you imagined to be.
