For over four decades, Kitaro has stood as a globally celebrated icon of instrumental music — a Grammy- and Golden Globe-winning composer, musician, and producer, and a founding architect of the New Age genre. With his visionary blend of electronic artistry, traditional Japanese instrumentation, and Western melodic sensibilities, he has crafted a lush, poetic, and meditative sound that transcends cultural and musical boundaries.

Kitaro continues to inspire millions worldwide with his shows like Love and Peace Tour, Nagano Winter Olympics performance and unique collaborations like Let Mother Earth Speak with Native American activist Dennis Banks.

Having performed at Arena of Stars multiple times, Kitaro has consistently enchanted Malaysian audiences with his signature soundscapes and masterful live shows, and this year’s concert promises to be no exception. Audiences can look forward to an immersive experience featuring acoustic instrumentation and a traditional Japanese Taiko drum (approximately 24” head) mounted on floor stands, beautifully blending ancient tradition with modern musical mastery.
