Taiko - Leaves 

i don't feel sad and depressed, i feel empty. Like i'm missing something, an adventure, a friend, idk.

We recently held a convention for introverts, but nobody showed.

This brings back memories that don’t exist.

"I think it’s terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people’s expectations. I think they generally produce their worst work when they do that." - David Bowie

"It was all just a dream, until she leaves.."

When I listen to lofi I don't become sad or anything, it's more of like a feeling of being totally emotionless. Almost like a out of body experience. I like it. Edit: Thanks for the 1k likes that's a first for me... Edit2: Thanks for 2k another first, you guys are awesome

"I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other's people expectations... I think they generally produce their work"

- I feel lonely, but at the same time I pride myself to not be lonely because I want to be strong. - I want relationship, but at the same time I don't want it because I feel like it's unnecessary. - I want to be loved but I can love myself so who cares? - I want to make friends, but I feel like they don't like me. - But who cares if they don't like me? I can enjoy my own company. - But at the end of the day, I feel lonely, but at the same time I pride myself to not be lonely because I want to be strong. Endless cycle of thoughts. Endless emptiness. Endless feelings.

since when was there a camera on my ceiling?

I wish there was a comicon for lonely people called the lonelicon where we could all meet and reasure each other. Have fun and realize that were aren't alone in loneliness. (1 year later) - with all the likes this has gotten. And all the comments you've left. [Ps I read all of them] I feel obligated to do something. Some of you may have already broken free from your depression/loneliness. For that I'm glad. But, there are still those who haven't found their way. To those I left hanging I truly wish to apologize. I've been mending my relationships and making right for my past wrongs. As well as discovering myself. So please forgive me. If you cannot do so. I understand. I'll be making a discord not only to help those that feel alone. But, also to help those battling with addiction and suicidal thoughts. Once the virus is gone and the quarantine is lifted I'll start trying to figure out at way to make this an actual event. I hope those who supported the idea before will continue to do so as I would love nothing more than to make this happen walking alongside all of you.

Lofi is a mood. It is the feeling you get watching the sun go down late in the evening on a cloudy autumn day. It is the smell of the humidity in the air on a hot summer day. It is the sense of detachment you have when you stare at your clock at 1am on a rainy night in the dark. It is the mood of introverts when we are simply wanting to exist by our selves with our eyes closed feeling the sound reverb thru our headphones. For me it is a very important part of a happier life. Lockdown from corona-chan or not life is still good staring at autumn leaves in the wind or listening to the sounds of trees swaying in the forest. Find your Ikigai my friends. Lofi is part of my Ikigai.

“I could be in a room filled with people and still feel so alone” - Jason R.I.P 2017

Do you ever get that feeling from a song from when it just hits you the first time, it hits you on a different level from just the physical vibrations? Your entire body mentally shakes from the mental vibrations and it starts to just reshape and mold itself into what it actually is and you feel yourself become reformed into who you actually are? You feel yourself be taken away from all of the hammering and abuse from the world...Maybe that's some weird shit, but like, this song means so much to me

am i the only who likes being sad sometimes ?

Music like these reminds us how far we have gone and will keep reminding us that it’s part of life. Another core memory to be added to my shelf 0:01

The lofi community is genuinely the best community out there

People are like chapters in your story, some are just barely a page long...

just want to create a lofi lounge for all the dope people in the world to come hang and vibe

i always play this song almost on every night, and it feels like i'm alone with nobody, empty with nothing.

you know, sometimes in life you just need someone that actually knows the deep dark part of you, the part that is not always smiles and jokes. the part that struggles with yourself, the part that knows your dark secrets and your sorrows. I want that someone in my life.

"In a world about to tear itself apart it's nice to know some of us still gather just to dream" This is not mine but it's deep ♡

me at 3am

For the few that's interested or doesn't know, the anime in the background is Neon Genesis Evangelion

pic sauce: Neon Genesis Evangelion THE goat anime, imo

I cried to this for an hour.. I keep replaying it Over And over..

Today's my birthday and this track just made my day complete. Thanks.

Being alone gives me power. Being alone lets me recharge. When I’m with a lot of people I get uneasy and nervous. My mother always said she never understood me and at times I feel as if no one ever will. All the missed opportunity because I thought I wasn’t good enough.

"I think it's terribly dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's expectations."

love you shinji

it's just one of those nights i feel this sense of regret from all the people i hurt, my flaws overwhelming me, and a looming loneliness. this song is helping me endure these heavy feelings

Just had the worst dream ever A beautiful girl randomly walked up to me and gave me a small bag with a note in but sadly before I read it. I woke up 😢😭😭😭😭 I still cry to this day. Thank you if you read this long

Después de ver estos comentarios, no pude evitar llorar. No puedo creer que exista tanta gente maravillosa que siente lo mismo que tú. Solo puedo decir gracias, gracias, en serio. After seeing these comments, I couldn't help but cry. I can't believe that you find so many wonderful people and that you feel the same as you. I can only say thank you, thank you, seriously.

I have no idea what I'd do without you ikigai 😩

If my soul had a sound, this would be it

I hope music like this never fades away.

Being empty and alone made me realize I could be someone who helps those who feel as I feel. No one is special if one person is suffering then someone else is. My destiny is to be kind to the forgotten and outcasts. To be the support I never had.

Nice job with picking the right pic for this song, made it sound 100x amazing😊

"if you're going through hell, keep going"

I’ve been listening to this song for about three years sitting on my bed romanticizing Japan. Today I sit on a train in Tokyo vibing 😌

Being alone and feeling lonely for it is bad but Being around family or friends and still feeling loneliness because the only person that understands you is yourself is one of the most painful types of loneliness you could ever feel....

This song makes me feel like I am laying in my bed at 3am, can't sleep worth a damn, smoking a cigarette as I get lost and trapped in my thoughts, all alone thinking about the people I lost and what I lost in myself.

cuando escuche esta cancion , creo que lo unico que se sentia era como si estuvieras flotando en el espacio y mirando a tu alrededor fluyendo con esta maravillosa cancion. gracias ikigai,,.....🙁

You're gonna carry that weight.

" It feels just like a dream, i feel all warm inside and out. To be honest I can’t tell I if i’m awake or asleep but, if it really was a dream, then i wouldn’t want to open my eyes, I wouldn’t stand going back to reality."

Let's thank loneliness for never leaving us alone.

Losing each and everyome of your friends because of this gloomy melancholic feeling where you want to be alone the rest of your life but hate it nevertheless.

This song makes me so sad but calm at the same time like a peaceful Melancholy

Honestly I can listen to this all day long

I don't know why, but this song made me cry... is there anyone else who feel the same?

me when i should be applying for college and searching for jobs and finding my ikigai

This single frame explains loneliness.

After loneliness and empty time, I believe the less expectation for people around you the more peace you have. That's why I don't call anybody is my friends or best friends or crush or else. After all, it will be fine to be a loner, focus on yourself guys.

actual picture of me at like 3:30pm right after i come home from school

I'm not crying, you're crying!

This is probably one of the best songs I’ve ever listened to

this is quite something, brings me back to simpler more sad times. keep it up, you're amazing!

Reminds me of the people who left so soon.

When you are doing homework but then get in to your feelings

I just come back after like 4 years amd resly feels nostalgic

ahh nostalgia.... where have u been for so long thanks taiko for your awesome work :>

i relate to the pic so much that it hurts

Shinji is 1 of the deepest and most relatable characters I've ever seen.

Man I was looking for this one so long ago... Love it.

I LOVE THESE VIBESSS

I don't like being sad yet I don't want to get rid of it. Its what I've been accustomed to, it's my safe place, it's the only thing I possess. If I'm not sad then I'm just empty.

never delet this pls

So Im a point in my life where Im in college, have a girlfriend, have work, everything is going ok except the fact that I dont have the drive for anything, I dont want to do anything, I always do the bare minimum both for college and private life including my relationship. I feel like I just want to remain static and do nothing, I dont know why and I dont even know if I want to want to have the drive, yes I put in want twice on purpose I hope you know what I mean whoever is reading this. Idk why I even wrote this but yeah, here is my comment, ill just go back to being static.

that Bowie quote at the beginning though

*"Hey! Yeah, you! The one that is reading this comment right now! I'm talking to you, my friend."* I know you are having troubled times in your life right now and you feel like giving up, right? We all have those feelings and eventually we pull through and fight it, you still can do it because you are one strong badass to make it this far and you can still do it and eventually everything will turn out alright just hang in there. Just listen to this song, with your eyes closed, take slow and deep breathes, then zone yourself out in your mind of your happy place

perfect mix of chilling and sorrow

Your songs have me in my feelings

“Don’t take life to seriously, no one makes it out alive”

Jesus Christ why is everyone here so depressed. I'm just here vibin.

Been here for 4 years now. Life is good and I've been having fun vibin to this song. It never disappoints and everytime I hear it, it's nostalgic feeling brings memories that even I forgot. Great times are ahead of us. Amen🙏❣️

I love the vibe of this song it expresses my everyday mood about my life

God, this is gorgeous 💜💜💜

i hope everyone here knows that i love you with all my heart and i hope you have a great life. even if you’re going through a lot be happy for the ones you love. please? or even for me? a total random stranger on RU-vid who just admitted that they love you. please? it would make my life just a slight bit better. knowing someone else is happy (: and always remember, to always love yourself. please. love yourself before you love anyone else. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT. do whatever you have to do to be happy. because one day all that happiness will be brought towards you by another person. weather it be a man, woman, or whatever!! you’re beautiful and i can see how hard you’re trying my luv!!! i love you

My life perfectly in a song... I love it so much

God bless you for making such a beautiful music

I get depressed all the time night and day but once this music plays all my depression fly's away like Raven birds going to eat a dead body or something but once it ends the it all comes back thank u ikigai I've been listening to ur music for about 5 days and its helping me day by day thank u so much 😂

one night, i was jst laying down on my bed, lights off, hands on the sides, feet apart, no pillow on my head, earphones on, this song playing, eyes closed, and suddenly, i felt i was floating in a black space.. then i woke up to carhorns blaring. hmm

i've been listening to this song for a year, it has been a big help

I stumbled upon this when i needed the most

And..again!

I want someone to stay with me but they always leave.

This help me relax

the feeling sad sometimes feels good and with ikigai it makes it better so yeah this is good

this needs to be on itunes. I would buy every album immediately.

This never fails to remind me of... her. Every time I think of her I breakdown and just cry. The only thing that keeps me from ending it is a promise I made to her... sometimes I wonder if that’s a good thing

I bumped into this song about 2 years ago and find myself returning to it whenever I am in the lows. It's really frustrating and devastating to see what a break-up with someone you thought you loved can do to your life afterward.

Mùa đông này tuy buồn nhưng lại đầy đủ Có mưa dài lạnh không nguôi có luôn cả nỗi buồn ngày cũ Chẳng có phép màu đâu em quay ngược thời gian là điều bất khả Nếu có thể đừng rời xa anh vì anh không còn gì để mất cả Có nhiều cuộc tình sẽ qua, xin nước mắt đừng làm má em hoen màu Mùa đông năm nay sẽ chẳng có em như những mùa đông ban đầu Gió sẽ lạnh hơn, sẽ thiếu mất đi hơi ấm gần kề Và không có ai chở che đón đưa em tới những nơi cần về Mùa đông đầu ngày lạnh mình cùng trang lứa Xin hãy lắng nghe anh gọi để em còn nhớ những gì đang hứa Chen chúc ở giữa đời thường đông chỉ làm anh rét hơn thôi Họ chỉ thấy rằng anh đang cười chứ đâu hề biết anh rất đơn côi Thì thầm cùng với cỏ xanh Người hãy cứ lừa dối nhưng xin người đừng rời bỏ anh Nếu như liệu có thay đổi xin đừng để một nửa kia hay Vì mùa đông cũng đã quá lạnh để ta có thể nói lời chia tay Chorus: Cuối góc phố mình từng Vội mang những tâm tư giấu đi Anh chỉ giữ nỗi nhớ bình thường Về ngày ta đã từng níu kéo Mơ những .... thói quen... Chỉ còn lại thương nhớ Tự vùi mình trong quá khứ xa xôi Verse 2: Vẫn là anh vậy thôi, giấu bản thân bằng sự tiếc nuối Anh viết rất là nhiều cho em, dù biết đây là lần viết cuối Dang dở một thời thanh xuân tiếc là anh chẳng thể gần kề Hạnh phúc đó là đường song song, bắt gặp em theo hướng ngược về Muốn cùng nhau vào thư viện, cạnh tủ sách tôi kể cô nghe Mùa mà ta đan tay giữa đường cũng thấy ấm áp vì khói bô xe Sẽ chẳng có một cuộc gọi tủ điện thoại cũng đóng rêu xanh Anh muốn được nghe em chửi thề vì em còn giận là còn yêu anh Em sẽ vẫn làm kẻ khác ngước nhìn, Hay mỗi đêm xuống về nhà mệt mỏi soi gương và khóc trước mình Rồi ta gì? Phút chốc rồi em cũng sẽ quên đi Chỉ từng ấy năm vẫn là chưa đủ để em đọng lại trên mi Anh qua mùa mới cùng sắc thái cũ không thay đổi lòng sầu lắng Em như án mây vì càng lúc càng rực rỡ như màu nắng Cạnh nhà thờ cách đó không xa bật một bài thánh ca rất êm Mùa đông năm đó anh vẫn hối hận khi đã vô tình đánh mất em

I think it's terrably dangerous for an artist to fulfill other people's desires Me an Architecture student: cries in the corner

When will my life stop being so calm and the adventure start

Some of my favorite music and even more when you feel depressed on cold and rainy days, just the best

I have heard this song many times before and never really paid much attention to it, but tonight it just hit me so different and it's so beautiful, I just had to come and leave this comment.

this is godly like

Doesn’t it suck when the person you really like doesn’t like you back

Life is to beautiful to reminisce on our mistakes keep loving you and this world that gots much to offer

Man I can be in a few negative moods and it brings me up listening to this thanks u And make me reflect on life also
