Singapore magazine Todayonline.com has an interview with Kitaro entitled simply New Age Dude. Which is an ok title, since he is the Asian New Age Dude. In this interview you get to know things about Kitaro you probably didn’t know.

Although he’s best known as a musician, Kitaro is involved with many spheres outside of music. For instance, he has a fireworks group which performs at festivals in Japan.

“We use the traditional bamboo fireworks,” he said, adding that they carry them like upright bazookas. “It’s very dangerous and my wife and managers have told me not to do that. But I like to do that. It’s a man thing.”

Let’s hope he doesn’t blow up!
