i keep thinking i've found my favorite song of his and then i hear another one and i'm like, nope definitely this one. then rinse and repeat. the live interactive version of this song is actual insanity.
I like to think there's an alternative universe where Satoshi Kon directed an anime adaptation of Hirasawa's science fiction concept album Sim City. It's a great album.
I showed this to my math teacher, because he taught in Thailand for a few years and I thought he might of liked it. I think he's a fan of Susumu Hirasawa now.
That good is you showed this song for your teacher because his song is drug and powerful xD. but you know in thailand, moslty thai people doesn't know the song of susumu hirasawa. btw im his big fan of him from thailand
His music often makes me imagine exotic or epic scenes, hearing this track play to usher in the end of the world; imagining the final struggle to survive an unprecedented catastrophe, and the people's deepest dread at the thought their whole lives will be annihilated so instantly, as they hope for a miracle escape.
Today I was assigned by my peers in a group work to study and summarise the history of a region in the highlands of my country and there´s a large part that refers to the conquest of the territory by the spaniards (I´m peruvian) and how they kicked out the natives and the way they tortured and executed the rebels to show supremacy and then this song comes up in my shuffle selection and I´m just like "I can feel the dread of the people back then, just by hearing this" This carries so much emotion, he combines the sounds so perfectly to create the atmosphere that whatever you would do would be useless and eventually you will perish, but somehow you are still in denial.
wow, i get a totally different vibe from that song! i get a whole bunch of elephant-like animals in a big field. its twilight and in the very distance is a carnival all lit up! :)
Aa In that city where you sit facing the sun Aa I will meet you there Repeatedly Repeatedly I trace the way I came Repeatedly Repeatedly I see the way I came ※ Repeat x2 Aa Without the flower that blooms deceit Aa I cannot return the way I came Repeatedly Repeatedly You invite me there Repeatedly Repeatedly You invite me ※ Repeat x4
本当に平沢進は凄い。 I dont know how to say, how can i call it?? cest comme nostalsia mais cest pas pareille... 望郷の念みたいな、モノを感じる。 産まれる前から知ってる気がする。 すっごく新しいのに、刺激的なのに、 泣きたくなるほど懐かしい。
It is. Hirasawa based the album on his trip to Thailand and the transsexuals he met over there. It was in dedication to the country and people he met there.
Thanks to all the guys to posting his music. Now, to Amazon for a shopping spree... (so much for hurting the music business - how often did I "spot" a new song, and then bought the album).
This song kinda takes me back to the surreal impression I once felt in the moment of a sudden & devastating breakup (as a formative teen in the throes of intense passion).
I am a Thai person yet i do not yet truly and fully understand how beautiful my country is... I do not truly understand what "Mai Pen Rai" means... what Thai culture that is not spoon fed by the censor crazed and extremely conservative government means... I am just slowly unraveling this mystery that is happening in front and behind of me...
I associate this song with Guts, and currently bingewatching HnK so that could also apply to some extent to Kenshiro since both are rather similar. Basically what I picture while listening to this song is a desolated wasteland, and a lone figure roaming it endlessly, while fighting all kinds of demons figuratively or literally. The burden he bears is so big, since he has to shoulder all the hopes of humanity basically. I wish I was good enough at art to try and capture it, and even then I feel like it won't be epic enough.Out of all Hirasawa's songs this one is the most epic I feel, in terms of the emotions it conveys. It has a sense of dread, especially at the beginning, but then it slowly builds up to something akin to hope.Such an inspiring piece.
This song is deeply layered with meaning.. and most definitely Hirasawa created it on the basis of his experiences with the transgender community in Thailand. The lyrics, not just in this song but in the songs throughout this album describe a location in an alleyway in Thailand as a place in which one can live as one chooses, in perhaps another person's life from the past, maybe someone who never even existed. Further, it seems, that they are 'beckoning' one to do so. To break away from reality, and escape to this 'SIM CITY' .. well secluded in one's own reality.
@@fullcrackalchemist Yes, he’s talked about it on radio shows and on television interviews but where I read it from as well was actually the album’s lyric booklet.
@@fullcrackalchemist i recommend you to read something about him, more deeply than Wikipedia. This guy is really amazing as a person :)) don't mind zoomers who criticise him everywhere. Hirasawa achieved these amazing music just by himself, he is a guy from poor family and he had a lot hard experiences but he won:))
@@omarsabeur9039 the only real negative thing I can think of is his promotion of the use of a dangerous quack substance called Miracle Mineral Solution. It's nothing more than industrial strength bleach. 🤷🏻♀️
x2 ※ (Come with me to the great city that exists between CHARAN SANITWONG 24 and SIM CITY) Aa Even the shadows of the clouds grow heavy Aa and freeze into a human voice Repeatedly Repeatedly You invite me there Repeatedly Repeatedly You invite me ※ Repeat x2
Genius is an understatement he is a master of music and all that is musical, vocals, strings, drums he tames these wild beasts with ease and with it makes...art in its purest form!
