Well, I wouldn't go that far, but he is very good at what he does.  A lot of western folk would consider this a little like musac or piped in relaxing mood music in the dentist's office.  But I enjoy it .  It's VERY Japanese.  Very contemporary Japanese.  I've been in love with Japan for many years now and  I'll be there for 8 months next year and looking forward to it.  I've played and accompanied a lot of similar music.  It's repetitive and sort of bland at times, but it really does speak to a certain kind of soul.  A japanese music loving soul.  It's very pure and innocent, in a way.  NOT Takemitsu.  No, this is music for your uncomplicated music loving audience.

I agree with birba, it's very japanese! I knew him already :) I love his "film-music-parts", because make his music more dynamic, and he does it in 'its just measure', whatever it's written haha so that it sounds nor classic nor film music, but great music.
