Johnouchi successfully blends Asian musical forms with western contemporary and classical styles, creating a pastiche that is both beautiful and relaxing for those who want easy musical accessibility, and complex enough for the active listener who delights in the discovery of new facets with each listen.

Johnouchi has a history of composing for Japanese television and film, and her music is visual and vivid.

"Kataribe (Storyteller)" is Missa Johnouchi's first solo piano album, and is made up mostly of original works collected from previous albums and converted into.

Her inspiration comes from an awe of nature and the seasons, and the changes they bring. Most of the pieces have a somewhat melancholy feeling, but all contain a sense of hope and optimism as well as grace. It portrays a very gentle wind - perhaps more of a breeze that gracefully bends the delicate trees and flowers. Johnouchi has included two compositions by Kazumasa Yoshioka, the producer of Pacific Moon, her label.

The warm flow of the piece soothes and uplifts. That sense of searching and longing comes through clearly and emotionally. Here and there are some surprising chord changes that remind me of Satie - an intriguing and inspiring piece. Slow and uncluttered but deeply emotional, it is gorgeous!
