Kan Mikami was a hard nut to crack for me as well, due to language issues. I used to have that massive box set with 13 CDs in it, and I had trouble getting into most of it because I knew the words were of such importance to him and to most of his fans. I liked a couple of the albums soundwise, but ultimately felt I should pass the box on to someone who could appreciate it more.
