    I ran into this, but I'm not sure if I'm translating it correctly.

    nick's poor quality translation attempts have noticed:

    It seems to be a live performance in high definition and surround for a broadcast later this month. Looks like there was a chance of rain ;-(
    I think the piece is inspired by Horai Terayama, the area where Tomita spent some of his youth and the performance took place there. Besides Tomita the musicians seem to include bamboo flute, lute, percussion and schoolchildren presumably singing.

    The Nasu Fantasia site mentions that Tomita is working on a 5.1 Debussy album with, if I'm translating correctly, includes 5 or 6 unnamed new recordings, so presumably that means Snowflakes is being remixed and added to.

    The movie "Bushi no Ichibun" opens 12/1, it's the third of Yoji Yamada's samurai films with Tomita scores.

    I'll try to see if I can get in touch with him next month in Tokyo if I'm very lucky.
