A soundtrack for Japanese anime "Zipang" by Toshihiko Sahashi. The anime is a military drama based on the manga of Kaiji Kawaguchi, known for his Silent Service.
The style of most cues is symphonic, occasionally incorporating drums and synthesizer in the style of Mancina/Zimmer. Long cues are especially exciting and well-constructed. However, I do not like his uses of koto sound and pentatonic scale for the Imperial Japanese Army cues, because it sounds too stereotypically oriental.
Nevertheless, if you like this TV anime series, you may enjoy this CD too.
