"Ongaku" is the Japanese word for "music."

Yeah, the kanji stand for sound and enjoy, hence the name of the series. My girlfriend came up with it by accident (teaching me Japanese), which is a good thing, since all the other names we thought of were complete shite.

Ongaku is, also, the name of the most expensive amplifier ever build (it is maked by Audio Note, I believe).

Good choice, Nat. Just heard Tsahar 2 weeks ago with Drake et al.

Ask him if he has since bought Sonny Rollins' "Our man in Jazz".
