“Kanho Yakushiji & kissaquo” released the new music Album “Shinka - Heart Song”

“Kanho Yakushiji & kissaquo” just dropped the new and hot Album “Shinka - Heart Song”. It will contain the songs 'Release', 'Heart Song', 'Purification', 'Journey', 'Heart Song (lunar new year mix.)', 'Healing', 'Light', 'Heart Song (techno Ver.)', 'Journey (techno ver.)' and 'Light (techno ver.)' total of 10songs. Enjoy the J-Pop sound from the far east Asia.

Building on the journey of "Sutra Music" I have shared so far, this new album breathes fresh life into the timeless messages of each sutra, woven together with my own words and melodies. "From here, let us begin again. Happiness is always close at hand." Where the ancient voice of Buddhist scripture meets the sensitivity of our times, these songs quietly, yet profoundly, echo in the hearts of those living in today's world.

Kanho Yakushiji & kissaquo

Born in 1979, Kanho Yakushiji is a Zen Buddhist monk and musician, serving as the deputy chief priest of Kaizenji Temple, a Rinzai Zen temple affiliated with the Myoshinji school. In addition to his role as a monk, he has been actively creating music since 2017, producing the Heart Sutra Music series, which combines traditional chanting of Buddhist sutras such as the Heart Sutra with modern musical arrangements. He has released numerous albums to date. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, he also composes original songs centered on the theme of what we should cherish in life. His YouTube channel currently has approximately 750,000 subscribers, and his Heart Sutra Music-related videos have been viewed over 100 million times worldwide. In 2018, his work began gaining attention throughout Asia via social media, leading to back-to-back Asia tours in 2018 and 2019 through China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, drawing over 10,000 attendees within two years. After the pandemic, he resumed his international performances in 2022, starting with a Southeast Asia tour. In 2023, he launched his first world tour, followed by an Asia tour in 2024, performing in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Australia, receiving enthusiastic responses in every country. In 2025, his international activity continues with a solo concert in Macau (June) and a performance at a major music festival in Taipei (September), further expanding his global presence. With the hope that this music can help reset the heart, he continues to share the prayers of Buddhism through sound, from Japan to Asia and to the world, for all who live in the present moment.
