I saw osamu about 25 years ago at a place called hop sings in marina del rey and he was awesome and so talented...he plays like 5 different instruments, ...he is king on the biwa and the koto... his choice of songs are so intricate and sophisticated....he is just great!!!

The title of this song, can you speak of the Golden Mean of philosophical aspect? That is to say, I am referring to the Golden Mean, as a way of life, that expose the Greek philosopher Aristotle, in his book 'De Anima' (Of the soul).

As far as I know, Greek philosophy came to Asia, there were even good Japanese thinkers, who thought and developed ideas from Aristotle even from Platon, but I do not know if he talks about that Golden Mean or any other.
