Amazing playing. Both the sound and video are of excellent quality. Good variety of styles - I would recommend this dvd without hesitation.
 Best watched with headphones on, lights out, and late at night April 20, 2006

Having attended two recent Kodo concerts, with the great fortune of sitting front-row-and-center for their One Earth Tour performance in Philadelphia, I wasn't surprised when this DVD didn't faithfully recreate the primal `feel' and intense focus of a Kodo performance. Yet, when I tweak the viewing conditions to minimize distractions and outside sensory stimuli, I notice that many of the Eastern nuances of rhythm, precision timing, and economy of movement come into sharper relief. Yoshikazu Fujimoto's muscular performance on the monster odaiko is stunningly powerful (his facial expressions alone speak volumes) and by itself is worth the price of the DVD. Overall, this DVD does a very fine job of capturing the essence of Kodo (the Japanese word for `heartbeat').
Loved It! March 17, 2006

This is a great DVD/CD package. I have seen the group live, and abd this DVD allowed me to see different pieces I hadn't seen before. The quality is outstanding, and ofcourse the group is just amazing. Very entertaining!

Through the years, I've enjoyed listening to Oriental music from time to time. This DVD intoduced me to a form of entertainment I was previously ignorant of and found it most enjoyable. My son, who really likes drum presentations but has no appreciation for oriental music, also enjoyed this DVD.

This is my second Kodo purchase; I already have Kodo: Live at the Acropolis. Acropolis was fabulous and if you only buy 1 Kodo DVD, that's the one to get. One Earth Tour had one piece that went on forever and ever with just one drummer and I never did watch the whole thing, I fast forwarded past that to something more interesting. What I did like about One Earth Tour was that they included a lot more traditional instruments in one of the songs. They had the koto, samisan, and a few others I didn't recognize. Certainly if you want to get a taste of Japanese traditional music, that was a good piece to watch. I will probably re-watch Acropolis far more often than One Earth Tour.
