Takashi Kokubo (小久保隆) - Blessings Of The Forest (森の恵み) (199X) [Full Album]

should be asleep 2025-08-16 | Tracklist:
00:00 Scene 1
10:47 Scene 2
21:14 Scene 3

Rip of the CD release from Matsushita Green Volunteer.

Scene 1:
In the morning, the forest begins to breathe with the chirping of birds.
As you slowly walk deeper into the mountains, you will come across a small, quiet spring.
This is the water of life nurtured by the forest.

Scene 2:
In the midst of sudden rain, it's so quiet, as if the forest is absorbing the distant thunder.
The sound of cicadas at dusk after the rain.
The cicadas bring coolness.
Playing in the mountain stream.
The birds' songs echo off the rock face.

Scene 3:
As we climbed through the forest with its autumn foliage, we came across a small waterfall.
The murmuring waters of the forest gather from various sources.
The blessings of the forest gently envelop us.

Kokubo released this CD in conjunction with the Panasonic Electric Workers' Union and their "Green Volunteer Movement". Very brief blurb on the Green Volunteer Movement from the CD liner notes:
"Our Advocacy for Global Environmental Protection:
This is an initiative fully supported by the Panasonic Electric Workers' Union to protect and nurture greenery, including forest conservation. As an initiative for global environmental protection, we must count on as many people as possible to participate and ensure its success."

The release date of this CD is unknown, and not directly specified anywhere on the CD or insert. Notes on the insert suggest it was released closely following the completion of Kokubo's Ion Series, which would place it around 1993 or 1994.

38:47 行雲流水の歌 (Water, Streams Drifting Cloud) {Part II}
44:23 CODA

Rip of the 1982 LP release from King Records.

Note 1: The English track titles do not appear to be direct translations of the Japanese titles.

Note 2: There seems to be four distinct movements on each side; however, the tracklisting on the record lists only three tracks per side. Since track lengths are (to my knowledge) not listed on the record, the sleeve, or in the liner notes, on each side two movements have been (somewhat arbitrarily) grouped into one track. Timestamps to the different parts of the 'grouped' track are listed above. Please comment below if you have any info that will provide certainty about the track lengths/titles, thanks.

Note 3: The English title of A2 水霊のために is listed as "Dedicated to Compassed-Nate Soul" on the record sleeve. 'Compassed-Nate' is presumed to be a typo of 'Compassionate'.

Rip of the 1993 CD release from セレネ美術館 (Selene/Serene Museum).

Cover art by Toshio Tabuchi.

Notes from the back of the CD:
The CD contains original songs from the Serene Museum.
The synthesizer performance is used to express the scenery of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter woven by the nature of Kurobe.
Through the art of painting, the Serene Museum wants to leave "the unexplored nature of Kurobe" as an "irreplaceable legacy for the future" in future generations, and this wish is within the music.

Thankyou to Tomoyuki and Dan for passing on the knowledge of this album.
