Music runs deep in many families, none more so than the Kadekaru household. Rinji Kadekaru (嘉手苅林次) was born in 1956, and grew up listening to his father Rinsho. His voice and sanshin style is remarkably similar to his father, and in addition Rinji is a fine violin player which he also plays on this track. Jidai no Nagare (The Passage of Time) is one of the songs most associated with Rinsho Kadekaru who wrote the text.
