Hello and welcome back. 
Kaori here and we have finally made it. The last episode in my Top 100 trance tracks of all time. From number 12 to Number 1. For over 5 months you have traveled hand in hand with me through my favourite ever Uplifting, Japanese and Orchestral trance tracks of all time. I hope you have enjoyed this journey and you have discovered some new music for the first time. One thing I learned from making out the complete list for this Top 100 is that it is very easy to miss some great tracks. And there are many out there. People just need to look for them. Trance will never die. It only grows stronger. And we grow stronger with it :-)

Enjoy the show.
Kaori.

Dmitriy Kuznetsov & Kohta Imahuku - Kegon Falls (Original Mix) [Trancer Recordings] *Out Now*

Welcome back to A Way of Life. This is Episode 104 and I have brought another tribute mix with me for you to enjoy. This time we will enjoy some really beautiful and meaningful uplifting music from Dutch producer Aerial State. An underrated producer but one of the most talented and creative producers out there. His style of music consists of long, epic and emotional music that can easily bring a tear to your eye with the melody and heartbreaking breakdowns. When the beat drops you are transported to heaven and the feeling is pure joy. His track Enchanted is my favorite trance track of all time and his other epic The One that got Away is dedicated to my dear cousin Noriko who died during the Tōhoku tsunami in 2011. Aerial State has created music that means so much to me. I hope it touches you the same way.
Have a great Christmas and I will see you in the new year.
Kaori

Party girl. 

--------------Kaori Kataoka hails from Tokyo, Japan. She discovered Trance music when she was introduced to it by a European friend she met who was visiting her country. Ever since then she has fallen in love with this genre, but it is with the sub-genre of Uplifting and Orchestral Trance that she cherishes the most. Japan is a rising nation for Trance music now with artists like Hiroki Nagamine, Shintaro, Hiroyuki ODA, Masaru Hinaiji and more.  Kaori started her podcast "A Way of Life" on Soundcloud to show her love and support for this music because she strongly believes that beautiful things should be shared across the world. 

Trance music has a small community especially when one compares it to other electronic genres such as House or Dubstep and it is rare indeed to see a female Trance producer from Japan so it is with great surprise and joy that we have such a talented and enthusiastic young woman from Japan flying the flag of her country. Kaori's personal favorite artists are Manuel Rocca from Venezuela, Andy Blueman from Slovenia, Bernis from Japan, tranzLift from Czech Republic, Illitheas from Germany, Ronny K from Czech Republic and Kelly Andrew from USA

Outside of creating Trance sets on Soundcloud Kaori is a passionate Ballerina dancer and part time Fashion Model. A keen gamer you can follow her on Twitch.TV under the alias "petiteballerina".
