"With the album "Window", Aiko Shimada has created a fusion of poetry and music. Each word, as well as each note, is vital. The combination of her reflective, personal lyrics and her hauntingly beautiful voice is extremely powerful. The accompanying music is brilliant. Each musician in her band plays their instrument masterfully. This results in music that can not be held within the confines of any one category. Aiko's music has a beauty that can not be fully expressed in words. Except perhaps, by her."
