   About Rain In Eden
Welcome to the RainInEden Myspace Page We have been away from our MySpace home for a very long time. Hello to our friends around the world. We have a new home on the web. Please visit our home page at http://www.rainineden.com The site is available in both Japanese and English. Also is you are a member of Mixi, please visit our Mixi site at: http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=2305262

RainInEden Concept

The Silk Road once linked cultures from Turkey, across land to China, by sea to Japan and on to South East Asia. Along the many routes people traded goods, ideas, culture and art. It is the source of our inspiration and a model of our belief that there is much more that links us to each other than what separates us. And through music, art and culture we can share our common humanity. RainInEden is a project based in Tokyo, Japan. We are, ourselves, a fusion of cultures and backgrounds. Together we share a passion for the instruments and sounds of the Silk Road. Blending the tones and passion of hand made traditional instruments from across the Silk Road routes with the sounds of contemporary electronic music that defines our fast paced and modern home in Japan, our music is a fusion of old and new.

Hi Rain In Eden,
I just wanted to drop you a note and hope you've had a happy Easter/ Passover. Holidays always give me time to pause and think of those friends and family who are in my life. It also gives me time to be thankful for each of them... including you. Thank you again for your friendship, I am grateful for you. Have a wonderful week!
