When I was a university student, I would listen to MHTRTC every time I took the bus from Tokyo to my hometown for vacation. The bus just gets on to Shutoko when this song starts. As I moved through the gaps between buildings, I observed the lives of people reflected in those tiny windows. A messy office, businessmen chatting, people relaxing in a small apartment... all these things combined with this song made me extremely anxious. And I realized that other people at the same time as me were living completely different lives. Oh, before I knew it, I heard a slow girl's voice. Then I'll go back to music again...
Whenever I stay indoors all day or week, I just listen to these guys. Their sounds amplify my subconscious mind and allow to just wander in deep thought and I love it so much ❤ "the Sage travels all day, without ever having to leave home."
This video is an essential part of that magical time circa 2009, between the releases of TCH and TH. There was lots of wonderful fan created media back then, and much of it is lost. I'm glad this is still around.
Man, 2017. How time flies and things change. But for a moment, the music teminds you and transports you back to where and when you heard it. Somber feeling.
Has anyone else noticed that the flute sound that appears after the "I love you" sample sounds like an incredibly slowed down version of the same flute found in the intros of both 5d and Seven Forty Seven, before the beat kicks in for both?
It's one of many of my favourite boards tunes. I used to listen to it When doing laborious repetitive art processes to ensure I kept focused. Then I'd occasionally fuck up. Cut something too fast without thinking. And blame the music. For bringing out the artist in me.
