@@rubenmendez2529You're welcome. Also, I finally got my copy of Nawatobi and compared the text with the one in the booklet. Surprisingly, I didn't make any mistakes. The only difference is that some words that I wrote in kana (because they're usually written like that) in the official lyrics are actually written with kanji.
Wow! Every nuance of her performance brings chills. Her music is simply therapy for the world. Hako is known for her signature note bending and crying sound. Her sound can’t be duplicated. It was birthed from her story. In the 70s, she created a new vision for music and artistry. Thank you for blessing us with your gift Hako San.
It's strange, but you're right. The first time I heard her singing, something about her voice immediately made me want to cry. I was a paratrooper when I was young, so I'm not very weepy, but her voice affected me deeply. Then, when I heard "Kikyou no Hana", and read the lyrics, tears actually came to my eyes.
New fan here (2023)! Glad to accidentally found Hako's music through related/recommended videos list, while searching for Babymetal songs (typing in Japanese). I was instantly hypnotized by her voice and her songs (not many singer-songwriters are able to put so much emotion into the vocal melody lines within the somewhat simple chord-progression like her 70s and 80s songs). I'm forever grateful for the discovery!
I have been listening to all of Hako's song for months now and this is the first time I got to see one of her back then live videos. How amazing! A truly amazing gift from the goddess herself. I love how the video has those small statics and crackling in the sound, it only makes it even more exquisite. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm listening to all of her albums for some months now, since a song of her (Noroi, 'Curse') popped up in my yt recommendations... And I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that her work is exceptional. There are many days (and nights) that I have her music continuously playing on my headphones. The musicians and sound engineers she worked with on her albums were great too, let's not overlook that.
where did u find her albums? Were they thought torrents or just zip files online from sites? i only have what i think is Tobimasu and im honestly craving more.
I was born 13 days after this performance! I JUST discovered her today..Kazaguruma and Taketombo are 2 other beautiful songs I found of hers that just changed me completely! I am INFATUATED with her voice and lyrics😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🎵🎤🎵🎤🎶
I have been listening to her music for a while now but never live, wow! I found her on a deep dive on Spotify one day and have loved her work ever since. Amazing artist
Assuming this video is from 1986 like the title says, she was 29 when it was recorded. But looking at her, you'd think she's 17-18 from the way she looks and acts. Amazing.
And her 18 years-old appearance looks even younger, like 14 something. 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PdG0i90mUZY.html&pp=ygUNaGFrbyB5YW1hc2FraQ%3D%3D
I keep thinking she was still giggly from the previous conversation with the host and couldn't maintain a melancholic expression but you're probably right lol.
If you're looking for footage of her earliest live video available on RU-vid (earlier than this 1986 TV performance), you may want to search the video titled: Hako Yamasaki - 1970s Live captured on video (part of the 1993 Docu-TV / artist feature)
22Sep2021@India: Found her through RU-vid recommendations - specifically a song of her (Noroi, 'Curse') - and now I am a fan and listening to all albums out there. Her art is brilliant!
