Kitaro started his solo career in 1977. The first two albums Ten Kai and From the Full Moon Story became cult favorites of fans of the nascent New Age movement. He performed his first symphonic concert at the 'Small Hall' of the Kosei Nenkin Kaikan in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

During this concert Kitaro used a synthesizer to recreate the sounds of 40 different instruments, a world's first. But it was his famous soundtrack for the NHK series "Silk Road" that brought him international attention.

He struck a worldwide distribution arrangement with Geffen Records in 1986. This included a re-releasing of five prior albums Astral Voyage, Full Moon Story, Millennia, India, and Asia, each handsomely packaged with Japanesque obi strips and a new album, the aptly titled, Toward the West. In 1987 he collaborated with different musicians, e.g. with Micky Hart (Grateful Dead) and Jon Anderson (Yes). In 1988 his record sales soared to 10 million worldwide.

He was nominated twice for a Grammy award and his soundtrack for the movie "Heaven & Earth" won the award for best original score.
