A Hajime Chitose Collection ~~ 元ちとせ
"Chitose Hajime (Hajime Chitose, born January 5, 1979) is a singer from Japan. She is from Amami Oshima and sings in a style peculiar to that region, with distinctive falsetto effects. Because of this, it is said that her voice has a relaxing effect that has been observed in electroencephalograms taken from the brains of people listening to her singing."~~
"Chitose Hajime was recognized as a gifted folk singer at a young age. She won many folk song competitions, released two traditional folk albums on an indie label, and was approached by numerous record labels. She decided to study to become a beautician instead of pursuing music. However, Hajime had severe allergic reactions to many of the chemicals used by beauticians. She withdrew from school, and seriously considered a music career."~~

NeoFolk Music
I Don't know if i would define this playlist as New age or Neo Folk Music~~~~~Perhaps just Lovely~~~~~
'New Age Music' is defined as :
"Noun: a type of gentle melodic largely instrumental popular music originating in the USA in the late 1980s" ~~http://www.thefreedictionary<wbr>.com/New+Age+music
***********
"New Age music is music of various styles, which is intended to create inspiration, relaxation, and positive feelings, often used by listeners for yoga, massage, inspiration, relaxation, meditation,[1] and reading as a method of stress management[2] or to create a peaceful atmosphere in their home or other environments often associated with environmentalism and New Age spirituality.[1]"~~

Neofolk defined as:
"Neofolk is a form of folk music-inspired experimental music that emerged from post-industrial music circles. Neofolk can either be solely acoustic folk music or a blend of acoustic folk instrumentation aided by varieties of accompanying sounds such as pianos, strings and elements of industrial music and experimental music. The genre encompasses a wide assortment of themes including traditional music, heathenry, romanticism and occultism. Neofolk musicians often have ties to other genres such as neoclassical and martial industrial."

Experimental Music \m/=^.^= \m/ Progressive Rock
"Experimental music refers, in the English-language literature, to a compositional tradition which arose in the mid-twentieth century, applied particularly in North America to music composed in such a way that its outcome is unforeseeable. Its most famous and influential exponent was John Cage (Grant 2003, 174). More loosely, the term "experimental" is used in conjunction with genre names to describe music within specific genres that pushes against their boundaries or definitions, or else whose approach is a hybrid of disparate styles, or incorporates unorthodox, new, distinctly unique ingredients (Anon. [n.d.]a). Similarly, it has sometimes been used to describe "transethnic" music: the mixture of recognizable music genres. A quite distinct sense was current in the late 1950s to describe computer-controlled composition, and the term at that time also was sometimes used for electronic music and musique concrète. "Experimental music" has also been used in music journalism as a general term of disapprobation for music departing from traditional norms."___♫___♫
" Some of the more Common Techniques include:
--Extended techniques: Any of a number of methods of performing with voice or a musical instrument that are unique, innovative, and sometimes regarded as
improper.__♫
----"Prepared" instruments—ordinary instruments
modified in their tuning or sound-producing characteristics. For example, guitar strings can have a weight attached at a certain point, changing their harmonic characteristics (Keith Rowe is one musician to have experimented with such prepared guitar techniques). Cage's prepared piano was one of the first such instruments. A different form is not hanging objects on the strings, but divide the string in two with a third bridge and play the inverse side, causing resonating bell-like harmonic tones at the pick-up side.__♫
----Unconventional playing techniques—for example, strings on a piano can be manipulated directly instead of being played the orthodox, keyboard-based way (an innovation of Henry Cowell's known as "string piano"), a dozen or more piano keys may be depressed simultaneously with the forearm to produce a tone cluster (another technique popularized by Cowell), or the tuning pegs on a guitar can be rotated while a note sounds (called a "tuner glissando").__♫
----Extended vocal techniques — any vocalized sounds that are not normally utiliized in classical or popular music, such as moaning, howling, screaming, death growls, or making a clicking noise. Artists such as Meredith Monk. Some bands are also known to sing in falsetto
(The Fall of Troy).__♫
----Incorporation of instruments, tunings, rhythms or scales from non-Western musical traditions.__♫
----Use of sound sources other than conventional musical instruments such as trash cans, telephone ringers, and doors slamming.__♫
----Playing with deliberate disregard for the ordinary musical controls (pitch, duration, volume).__♫
----Use of graphic notation, non-conventional written/graphic 'instructions' actively interpreted by the performer(s). John Cage is credited with the original development of the radical score, and this influence continued through other composers/artists such as La Monte Young, George Brecht, George Crumb, Annea Lockwood, Yoko Ono, Krzysztof Penderecki and beyond.__♫
----Creating experimental musical instruments for enhancing the timbre of compositions and exploring new techniques or possibilities. Artists such as Harry Partch, Luigi Russolo, Bradford Reed, Iner Souster, Neptune, Hans Reichel."___♫__♫_♫
