Him being a musical instrument and a possession-type artist are pretty common and accurate perceptions of this guy. When he isn't performing, he's a real goofball though. But that's what makes the multiplicity he has between his off and on modes so interesting. He's crazy amusing when he's not performing and oh so spellbinding to witness and to listen to when he is and they're all the same person. :)
I went to his concert this year. It was the best moment i’ve ever had. His piano,vocals and his smile captivated the audience. I would like you to watch Matsuri live version at Panasonic Stadium ,Nan Nan live version at Nippon Budokan and Hedemo ne yo MV. Thank you.
This was the first track I heard from Fujii Kaze over a year ago and just like you I was speechless. It was like he was channeling pure music strait into my soul. I don’t think it’s exaggerated to say it that way. I was literally so captivated I think I clocked around 200 hours on Spotify just listening to this one track on repeat. Every time I thought I was tired of it and try to listen to something else it called me back. You’re going to love every single one of his songs. He’s going to crawl into your soul and give you some joy and peace. I’m excited to see what you listen to next…I’d suggest Grace.
I have been huge fan of Kaze ever since I found him on RU-vid. All of his composition, piano, vocals and saxophone.. All are out of this world, skilled, mesmerizing.. I can not speak enough of him. I would also like to suggest Matsuri. Thank you for the great reaction!
you're right, fujii kaze does have this effortless charm about him that you can clearly see in how he delivers his music and overall mannerism. please react to more of Fujii Kaze, i definitely recommend YASASHISA and MATSURI. another really wonderful sound by him that you will love i hope !
Omg❤whatever you felt this time is exactly what Kaze described himself at the interview 2 years ago !!!!! He said “I am just a instrument (tools) which delivers whatever came through. He is using this instrument; himself to deliver the music and message so as long as he could, he would continue to polish his instrument (himself) Not only he has an amazing musical talents but also he is an amazing human being. He does not sing about romantic relationships. His messages are normally about higher self, self love, free from all the burdens and affirmations. His soothing layback voice heals so many people around the world. He has just released the song called “Hana” totally different sound from the two you listened to. More close sound to J-pop. He made this song for Japanese TV drama show just started last week. His officials says that they are going to release MV so please react to this new single when they release the MV. While you are waiting , you can react to fun song, called Matsuri😊❤
Could you believe that since that twitch live I memorized the lyrics lol Love it!!❤ His album is on my playlist, so many good songs. Thanks Captain for introducing him to me💜🫰🏼
I was obsessed with this song for a while, couldn't stop listening to this performance! Even better than the studio version. 👏😄 So my recommendations are: Grace, Matsuri, Kirari, Seishun Sick, Hedemo Ne Ya, Garden, Damn... and his cover of Overprotected. His latest song is Hana but I don't think there's a video out yet...
I got shocked everytime I watch Asian singers. Some of them have that special ability to use their vocal without opening their mouth too much. I can't understand how it works but it is great
I think it's also his uniqueness to speak in Okayama ben in 'slow, sticky' way as what Yoasobi's Ikura has once commented, that makes him looks very 'laid back', but whatever he did (playing piano, composing music/lyrics etc) he did it so effortlessly yet actually need high degree of focus & skills. he's just too good
I have watched your reactions to BTS, I am army. I discovered Fuji about a year ago. Immediately had to order his CDs from Japan. I just love his, r&b, soul, jazz vibe. I love his voice and his performances. I'll be back to see more reactions
Yes he is great and you perfectly described him. He is an instrument himself and a one of kind talent!! Singer and pianist he is what you call a virtuoso. Please also check out Matsuri!!❤
I'm going to hopefully shortly explain to you how accurate your views on Fujii Kaze are. When you look back on the lyrics, its seems like a romantic, obsessive long song, right? Even Fujii was surprised people thought of things like this because it really wasn't the case: In an interview, Kaze explained how this song was basically talking about himself. Always aiming for the ideal self within. And if he can't do that, he'd just "rather die", just like the song expresses it. The more you dive into Kaze, the more you are going to get the full picture of him. That's why I think you need to keep going. Kaze, ONE OK ROCK, any many, MANY more Japanese artists, they really reel and pull you into those spectrum of emotions that just makes all worth the music you're surrounding yourself with.
Some say that this song is about romance or obsession, which is kind of toxic, when actually it's a misinterpretation. According to Fujii Kaze, it is actually a song about self-love. In an interview, he said it's actually about somebody within him, which is his strongest persona that he wants to cling onto, saying, "If I forget that person (my higher self), then I'm as good as dead." At the end of the interview, he said he always wondered why many misinterpreted the meaning behind it and found it interesting. That's how pure he is... He was only about 21 years old when he wrote the song. At 26 years old, he has written so many songs with deep and inspiring messages that are all worth listening to. ☺️
Mr. Fujii certainly said that, but I think this song was based on what he was told by his girlfriend. His excuse is a bit unreasonable. I think he often writes songs about his experiences. If you listen to ``Kirari'' many times, you'll realize that he sings about the time he met his manager. He lived in the countryside and he didn't know how to become a singer. Then his current manager found him. where have you been so far? I was looking for you. Take me there. he says in a song. Also, SEISHUN SICK is probably based on his experience. He often sublimates his inner conflicts and thoughts into songs. The same goes for SHINUNOGA E-WA. When he was about to break up with his girlfriend, she told him that if she broke up with you, she wanted to die, which I think had an impact on him, so he wrote it into a song. If I were his lover (which is definitely not the case), I would tell him that. I think he is such an attractive man.
@@kingyolinda7090 It's natural to think it was romantic at first. Until I get to know how Fujii Kaze writes songs with deep meaning and that his entire personality is all about spirituality, caring, and loving. He mentions "love yourself" and "higher self" numerous times. Then I realized that it wasn't about romance. Like the lyrics, “Mirror mirror on the wall. Who would give me the fairest love of them all? ", which is a sign that it is about self-love. So it's like he dedicates this song to himself. Being in a romantic relationship is common and a natural experience for a human being, so I don't think he had to deny that it's about his experience in a relationship.
@@kateaye Interpretations differ depending on what each person values. I'm sorry, but what I imagined is more vulgar than yours ( ;∀;) But I think Mr. Kaze is also saying that everyone should interpret it as they like.
@@kingyolinda7090 I do agree. It's okay; you don't need to apologize since we are entitled to our own interpretations. Yes, Kaze-san definitely said we can interpret his songs as we'd like. I read a comment that his music and messages are always intriguing and thought-provoking, which is true. It's really good to listen and enjoy his songs while trying to find their meaning, depending on how one interprets them.
I recommend Fujii Kaze Matsuri live at Phanasonic next, it is the best stage in my opinion, from the visuals of the stage and also the enthusiastic dancing audience
2020. He was just 23 years old, I guess. He said in his interview, it was interesting that so many people misunderstand the meaning of the song. It was not love-song to someone else.
I really do hope Fujii Kaze's live performance of "Shinunoga E-wa" from Panasonic Stadium will be available for the public to watch here in RU-vid soon so RU-vidrs can react to it 'cause dang, that live is soooo goooood in too many levels! ✨ PS: All of his songs are worth listening and reacting to! I hope you could do more reactions of his songs. ☺️
Your reactions are so much fun. Even though I am familiar with the songs, I am surprised that I can listen to them with a fresh feeling. Fujii Kaze expresses a different taste for each song, very much so that he is called "possessive style" in Japan. It looks like a different singers. Even though it's the same song, the MV and live performance are completely different. The song "MATSURI" is also good. It might be interesting to listen to and compare "MATSURI" live and in the MV. I also like the song "damn". As others have written, please react to the song by young Japanese female vocalist ADO. Her latest work ``SHO'' is said to be her best masterpiece so far, and ``TOT MUSICA'' is a good choice if you want to fully enjoy her singing ability. "SHO" is a collaboration song for Universal Studio Japan's Halloween Fes. "TOT MUSICA" is one of the songs in the movie "One Piece RED", and she is in charge of the singing part as an anime character.
What you are saying is that, he is sent to us by higher power to let us forget about hate, and just love :) He is doing a better job than any political procedure for anxious society. Lyrics resonate to Japanese people like us, and the way he learned how to speak and sing English since young, it's safe to say he is an ambassador of global peace. That's what the world class artists do to more than country can be proud of
I like watching you opening the new door and being drawn into Kaze world. 🎉Actually I found him about 3 months ago. You’re ahead of me. He’s just amazing.
Finally!!! yeah, he has a special aura... next: Matsuri, please, I love this song, like my dear BTS, makes my soul light (Grace and Damn are very good too)
Be sure to react to Damn, it is magic and sooo underrated. Fujii Kaze is a mystery wrapped in an enigma spun inside a conundrum - to way paraphrase Churchill. Love that man!
Like Kaze Fujii, there is an artist named Vaundy who has very emotional songs and a beautiful voice. Fujii and Vaundy debuted close to each other, respect each other, and have a very good relationship. I recommend "Tokyo Flash," "Odoriko," and "Naki Jizo." I also recommend King Gnu, who also has a beautiful voice and classical and rock induced music.
@@ThisRoscoeYes please ! I love Fuji Kaze and I love your reactions ( discovered you with your reaction to Jungkook BTS whom I also love) Btw I just subscribed : )
Yes, it's like u feel every single emotion and the lyrics. This song is so dynamic that if I was his love and was contemplating leaving him and he sang this song to me. I would literally melt at his feet and wouldn't move. I absolutely love this performance ❤❤❤❤❤
I actually think I prefer this live version to the studio version. I feel like Roscoe hit the nail on the head that Fujii Kaze is the instrument and you really get that sense so much more in the live version.
👍🌹Thank you for the reaction KAZE. KAZE uploads piano cover songs by various artists on his CH(Before debut). All of them are great. Please give us ①Taylor Swift-Look What You May Me Do ② Ariana Grande-Be Alright reactions as a recommendation for the entrance.
It's crazy that I found him bc of Yoongi edits 😂 Someone made an edit of gorgeous Yoongi clips set to this song, more started popping up, and now everyone is in love with both of them and want a collab 😅
Immediately after the music video was made, Fujii Kaze danced the whole thing「藤井 風の「きらり」踊ってみた☹」. ``I tried dancing Fujii Kaze's Kirari☹,'' a video shot during the music video shoot.「藤井 風 - "きらり" Behind The Scenes」"Fujii Kaze - 'Kirari' Behind The Scenes" is also interesting.
