This is first video I've ever made, so please be nice! I'm sorry if it sucks. TwT I have more songs from Susumu Hirasawa. If you are a fan and would like to request a song, please let me know!
I can totally imagine this being Emperor Ganishka's theme. The title itself is almost a perfect analogy for his self-destructive ambition and ignorance of the Kushan people's plight.
if i had to limit my music to 6 songs, this would be part of it. Stillborn City just has everything. Theres no way he didnt work his ass off on this one.
If you loved this one i would also recommend "Techno girl". Their both completely different songs but they do share a lot of uniqueness for how good they are.
生まれなかった都市 Stillborn City 作詞・作曲:平沢進 Music and Lyrics by:Susumu Hirasawa ---* 時を止めナイルの岸に立つ 確率の看守 嘆きを聞く toki wo tome nairu no kishi ni tatsu kakuritsu no kanshu nageki wo kiku 空に星座の浮動を妬み 積もる暦の塵を吸う sora ni seiza no fudo wo netami tsumoru reki no chiri wo su ただ吹く風の音 無意味の眠りに来て tada fuku kaze no ne muimi no nemuri ni kite あの日に消えたと 桃源の夢を見せ ano hi ni kieta to togen no yume wo mise ---* 時に捕られて地下鉄が来る さだめし都は幻の絵 toki ni torarete chikatetsu ga kuru sadamesi miyako wa maboroshi no e 空に不動の塔の間をぬい うごめく人は塵芥 sora ni fudo no to no ma wo nui ugomeku hito ha chiriakuta まだ吹く風の音 黄金を背に隠し mada fuku kaze no ne ogon wo se ni kakushi なぜ見ず過ぎたと ナイルの岸へ返る naze mizu sugita to nairu no kishi e kaeru 無数のレイヤー 幾重も通り musu no reiya ikue mo tori 聞こえる声は 君の名を呼ぶ kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu 嘆きのレイヤー モアレを組んで nageki no reiya moare wo kunde 生まれぬままの 都を見せる umarenu mama no miyako wo miseru ---* 支流の川辺で賢者は撃たれ 選択の騎士は嘆きを知る shiryu no kawabe de kenja wa utare sentaku no kishi wa nageki wo shiru 海で無常にたつ波を見て 逃げる時を追えずに umi de mujo ni tatsu nami wo mite nigeru toki wo oezu ni まだ吹く風の音 普遍の道を抱いて mada fuku kaze no ne fuhen no michi wo daite 消さずに守ると ナイルの岸へ向かう kesazu ni mamoru to nairu no kishi e mukau 無数のレイヤー 幾重も通り musu no reiya ikue mo tori 聞こえる声は 君の名を呼ぶ kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu 嘆きのレイヤー モアレを組んで nageki no reiya moare wo kunde 生まれぬままの 都を見せる umarenu mama no miyako wo miseru 聞こえる声は 君の名を呼ぶ kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu 生まれぬままの 都から来て umarenu mama no miyako kara kite ---*
3:25 This part reminds me of Griffith for some reason and the rest of the song reminds me of the Kushan. This song is perfect for the final fight between ganishka and Griffith.
Sounds like the battle between Ganishka and Griffith, then the parade of the God Hands, and the return of the city Falconia. Sounds Berserk, end of 4rth arc.
I listened to this while reading chapter 229 around the end of the fight with Grunbeld. The pace in which I was reading fit so well with the song and I was experiencing both the song and the images for the first time so the feels were off the charts. It was a damn near perfect experience that I wish could be implemented into the anime somehow. It's the only way I can read that fight now.
agile maverick straight up, this fits Ganishka’s character and the type of Pseudo-Arabian culture he is inspired by. It’s also a badass sounding song when Griffith and Zodd go up and fly past all his tendrils to get to him when the harps kick in.
@@KuyalawVA Ganishka and the Kushans are actually based on Pseudo-Indian culture and the real historical Kushan (Yuezhi/Tocharian) Empire in Afghanistan and also the real historical figure of Emperor Kanishka the Great of the same Kushan Empire who also styled himself as King of Kings
@@symfonio Really? -Could you please tell me what the track's called? I can't seem to find it.- *edit:* I found it. It's called _"The Expedition"._ Thanks for the heads-up!
in the beginning it give off a hint of Dark souls boss theme music. then I goes from Berserk to some undead carnival music, and after that I'm just lost in the music
I don't see why everyone says this souds like Berserk when it doesn't. It sounds like another original epic piece of composing of the wonderful thing we like to call music.
but i'll forever associate his sound with berserk. there's something about hirasawa's music that just goes really well with that manga. the genius of his music is bordering on the madness of berserk. or maybe it's that feeling of something being just slightly distorted that they have in common.

平沢進師匠の歌詞は、我々にも難解です。 Grandmaster Susumu Hirasawa's lyrics are difficult and incomprehensible even for us Japanese. 貴方が英訳した言葉は黄金の麦の穂になるでしょう。 The words you translated are grains of gold.
My first exposure to susumu hirasawa was through berserk 1997 and I am so glad I was able to find glorious heaps of his music on youtube thanks to legends like you.
Same , I was so happy to find out he did all of the music from Satoshi Kon's films as well. I always wondered why the music haunted me in the same way. It's primal , yet elegant
mine was through his music in the film Paprika. I had never watched the name but the Night of Miura's death I was exposed to guts theme, I thought it was one of the most beautiful songs I had ever heard. As I listened on maybe my 3rd or 4th play in a row, I thought to myself that it kind of reminded me of something Susumu Hirasawa would make. I opened the description and it was one of the most joyous moments I had experienced. RIP Miura, RIP Satoshi Kon
Too bad Satoshi Kon won't live...(Satoshi Kon loves Hirasawa's music and used it in almost every film) But then again, who does? (anybody watched Blade Runner?)
check it out Paprika, the Anime... or Paranoia Agent... it will give you a new and diferent perspective about Hirasawa please, forgive my poor English... 😎👍
Toki wo tome nairu no kishi ni tatsu Kakuritsu no kanshu nageki wo kiku Sora ni seiza no fudō wo netami Tsumoru reki no chiri wo sū Tada fuku kaze no ne Muimi no nemuri ni kite Ano hi ni kieta to Tōgen no yume wo mise Tokini torarete chikatetsu ga kuru Sadameshi miyako wa maboroshi no e Sora ni fudō no tō no ma wo nui Ugomeku hito wa chiriakuta Mada fuku kaze no ne Ōgon wo se ni kakushi Naze mizu sugita to Nairu no kishi e kaeru Musū no reiya ikue mo tōri Kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu Nageki no reiyā moare wo kunde Umarenu mama no miyako wo miseru Shiryū no kawabe de kenja wa utare Sentaku no kishi wa nageki wo shiru Umi de mujō ni tatsu nami wo mite Nigeru toki wo oezu ni Mada fuku kaze no ne Fuhen no michi wo daite Kesazu ni mamoruto Nairu no kishi e mukau Musū no reiya ikue mo tōri Kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu Nageki no reiyā moare wo kunde Umarenu mama no miyako wo miseru Kikoeru koe wa kimi no na wo yobu Umarenu mama no miyako kara kite English: Standing on the banks of the Nile, a guard of probability listens to the lamentations, trying to hold back time. Jealous of the unchanging constellations in the sky, they breathe in the dust of time that endlessly accumulates. They come to a meaningless sleep to the sound of blowing wind. Showing a dream of a utopian land that disappeared on that day. Caught in time, the destiny of the city is like a mirage, and the subway arrives. The people that crawl through the gaps of the unchanging tower in the sky are nothing but dust and trash. Hiding behind gold and still listening to the sound of blowing wind. Regretfully returning to the banks of the Nile, pondering why they didn't see it coming. Innumerable layers overlap, and a voice calling your name can be heard. Layers of lamentations form moirés, showing the city that never came to be. On the banks of a tributary river, a wise person is shot, and a knight of choices laments. Unable to chase after fleeting moments, they look at waves standing impermanently in the sea. Embracing an unchanging path, they still hear the sound of blowing wind. Heading towards the banks of the Nile, protecting what they shouldn't erase. The voice calling your name can be heard, coming from the city that never came to be.
UGH..I bow down to men like Hirasawa-sama, and Shiki is in the video!! *chills* he is a brilliant cruel man!! *.* I'm so in love with all his work and my fav Byokoya album
Wah! Impressionnant c'est trop riche en qualité obligé de mettre le son à fond en sent la puissance de l'auteur des bandes sons de Berserk! Thank you Ariaza to share with us!
