Commenting on Final Call, Kitaro said, "I have always felt we all must respect the providence of the Universe. Unfortunately, through the course of time and the growth of civilization, many living creatures that we now know will become extinct. If we don't alter how we treat each other and our planet Earth, many habitats and portions of this earth may become devastated and eventually disappear."[1]
In December 2013, Final Call was nominated by The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences for Best New Age Album,[2] becoming Kitaro's 15th Grammy Award nomination.
