- Naoki Urasawa, l'auteur de MONSTER, interprète la chanson de Kenji, extraite de 20th Century Boys, sur la scène de la Japan Expo 2012, dont il était l'invité d'honneur, et où il répondait aux questions de ses fans, venus nombreux l'applaudir...
a manga artist who composes a song for his manga
@Ghivary Fahmi a bit before reading that part I was thinking it was funny how you never hear any of kenji's songs. I chalked it up to the author not being able to play an instrument. I've never been so pleasantly surprised as I was when I came up to kenji's song with the chords
Its lit, Oda does the same with One Piece to (Bink's Sake)
And a mangaka that wrote the Nameless Monster just to incorporate subtext throughout Monster.
Just got to this scene in the manga and had to look it up to see if anyone had done an interpretation, only to find that Urasawa himself did it! What a legend! Had to go back and re-read it with the song playing haha
Urasawa and Inio Asano should totally start a band
The fact that he isn’t a professional singer adds to the emotion, like this is actually what Kenji sounds like and it’s perfect
this song saved the world!
:)))
@@dmnxexotic0p55 this song really does save the world
@@PixieGhozt Ikr i never said it doesn't
Everyone saying he has a bad voice doesn't know how fucking difficult it is to play guitar while singing and also being able to use the harmonica, for someone who does this thing as a hobby i am really impressed
its more of a reference to kenji having a bad singing voice rather than an insult to the mangaka
though he 100% has such passion and is good
He is so fucking good
Some people is like "he is not a musician"
And im like "Are u a musician? Cause he is that good"
It’s easy singing while playing the guitar, but the armonica really impressed me
bro his voice his way better than my
voice, my voice sounds like a mutton when it is alive
@@bebetter1237 Dude. You cant Use goat in that way anymore😂
Probably the most unique thing I ever saw a mangaka doing
I finished 20th century boy 5 mins ago. I didn't even know that he composed this. I'm crying.
Same here, finished yesterday. Crying right now
Same here, finished a few hours ago and crying too :')
Gutalala..

Time after time someone comes here after finishing the manga. Congrats to you! Happy ending
I just found this song via the youtube algorithm but now I'm definitely gonna read the manga :)
@@marcellawilliams2655 have you read it??
It is happy indeed!
Literally me just now. Holy shit I can't believe it's Urasawa himself singing it!
Remember that there is 2 extra manga called 21 cb which is the real end
The legend, the myth, the greatest mangaka.
Dude,I doubted your words back then, I just finished 20th century boys, Billy Bat, Pluto and Monster
And I say now that your spitting facts that Naoki GODsawa is The Best Mangaka.
Gyserio don’t forget master keaton its his other manga
This mans name should be put in a hall of fame, for his exquisite job as a mangaka, and his brilliant manga
@@Auberklein don't forget his hellish work hours doing two series at the same time (he once did Monster and 20cb at the same time) and still be a masterpiece

I wish I could hit my head and completely forget 20th century boys so that I can enjoy reading it again from the beginning
I just re read it again for the third time, and it still masterpiece.
I'm at the 12th book, I still don't know the end, I hope I would not regret that much to rush the story...
Lemme tell you something.
I just started fresh.
I`m on the second volume of the perfect edition.
You can envy me now. I have no clue what to expect.
its been a year. time to start fresh haha
You can
he draw manga, plays guitar, sing, compose songs and plays harmonica.. what a multi talented man
こんなに、自分の好きを突き詰めていける浦沢さんの生き様 めちゃくちゃかっこいい！
He sings horribly. Just like Kenji does. It's PERFECT.
shed a tear
Urasawa was a genius. 20th century boys was a masterpiece.
I love his singing
@@jaspaldeora8572 for me he is actually pretty good
He actually has a pretty decent voice!
Literally Kenji, but also a genius mangaka.
The biggest chad.
I cannot accurately say or imagine what Urasawa was thinking or feeling in this particular moment. I could only say that living with such passion and create something that exceeds yourself, something that was born in your head or heart and make it a little bit more real, is something wonderful. For many this is only a song, for others it could be a love letter for peace, in these times where we all need a little hope and a tender hand to give and receive. You are great Urasawa.
Beautiful piece of writing you wrote here
@@tpsam Thx mate!
seriously, with the state of the world right now, we NEED a 20th century boys anime now more than ever
I read this comment something like 6 months ago i came here to listen this song and started searching for this comment after scrolling for a long time i thought it was gone somehow but here i found it.
Writing this comment to tell u that your writing is pretty good just so u know ;)
@@dmnxexotic0p55 its very kind from you my friend! Thanks a lot, hoping you have a great day!
"He sung those songs in a roar that would be beyond what anyone could imagine. But the three of them played as if they were a band that had always been together.
In the end, he never did play that song"
- Naoki Urasawa (20th Century Boys)
Just finished 21st Century Boys, my life is a mess, tomorrow I have an important exam, but now I'm Happy. Thank you Urasawa.
It's been some time since your comment, but I hope you did well in your exam.
How are things going on?
how's life?
I really really understand you
Yo
Kenjikuunn , lets play together..
Inan Ginandra "Kenji-kun, Asobimashou~" Haha, I used to say this line when I were alone after watching the trailer for the movie on TV.

He sings so bad... Wait, why am i crying?...
Why are you crying too?

Because it's a good song！！
Because this song was saved this world
I miss the robot
idk why everyone says he sings horribly, while i know that that's not supposed to be an insult, he sings decently, with a lot emotions on top of it.
I think it's because Kenji is suppose to sing horribly, so they imagine he sounds like Kenji would.
This style of music (folk) isn't supposed to sound crystal clear. It's about rawness, passion, heart and sould. Actually, having crisp vocals would strip away that feeling. Bob Dylan also did folk and his voice fit perfectly in the genre, and people also said he wasn't a good singer.
It's a reference to the manga
i just feel his souls personally
@@ryzelincurve8295true
the legendary song which saved the humanity from the brink of extinction
This hits hard after reading 20th century boys
Definitely! I knew of this and watched it while Kenji first sung the song in the manga. I just finished reading all the manga, and it definitely has hit new levels for me. Truly a masterpiece
Real brotha 😭😭😭😭
Bob Lennon is a mixture of Bob Dylan and John Lennon. I can derive this cuz there's a harmonica solo which is a signature of Bob Dylan's songs plus Naoki Urasawa's singing style is identical to that of Bob's and the lyrics seem to be John Lennon style. This song is a love letter to the two legendary artists. Truly beautiful.
His passion and emotion is way beyond all the technique , very touching . And no one will forget the Gudalala Sudalala ever
guuutalaaa suuudalalaaa
Homlam
Just finished the whole series. I have so much respect for you, Naoki Urasawa...
I need to go read Monster now. Or maybe Pluto...
I know what you mean, I'm on volume 8 now and am worrying already about what to do if I read them all. Monster and Pluto, fine. But there's only one 20th century boys, right ;)
OwlxFeather You should read Monster IMMEDIATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
read Billy Bat too
i must read billy bat rigth now
Caselada great move Billy Bat is amazing
So is there anything else this genuis cant do??
MONSTER AND 20th CENTURY BOYS BEST MANGAS OF ALL TIME
Uchiha.D. Luffy read eden it's an endless world
Uchiha.D. Luffy Billy Bat
Johan Is GOAT Master Keaton =))
Pluto and billy bat are also supposed to be amazing. haven't read pluto but im reading billy bat at the moment and it's brilliant
+Crotea is it emotional?
He is pronouncing the Ls in "Sudalalala" and "Gutalalala". Normally Japanese people would pronounce them to what people in the west would view as an R, because Ls do not exist in their language, (well technically Rs dont either but that's not the point). Really shows how passionate he was to relearn how to pronounce something he's said for his whole life just for a song that was made for his manga.
Not only a song that was made for his manga
A song he himself composed for his manga.
this song sounds so nostalgic even before and after reading the manga
Present Day... Present Time HAHAHAHAHAHA
@@forgetfulstrangerand you don’t seem to understand…
This is what a man of passion looks like. Truly incredible.
Johan 😔
I love you my clone
Monster of the west

Katsumata is a poor guy, which I identified with a lot. May he find peace.
;)
Damn. This is one talented guy.
if you dont know he also created monster, and 20th century boys, the 2 best written mangas of all time
@@imtheonewiththebestprofile5648 don't forget Billy bat and Pluto
Mannn I loved Pluto from Netflix and I am now reading 20th... already cried in the first few chapters with Dunkey
Is incredible how you never listen the song in the manga but you know exactly the sound of the melody
Urasawa is such an underrated singer. You guys should listen to his album “Mannon”. It’s actually SOO good
wait he actually made other songs??
@@tappxor yea is music is goated I definitely recommend you listen to it
Still love this song.
20th Century Boys was the first manga I've ever read when I was 12 yo at the library (I was lucky to find this at the library)
Now I'm a great fan of Naoki, and still buying each of his books.
when you were a kid did you realised all the psychological parts of his works?
What’s your favourite?? Have you read billy bat?
@@imtheonewiththebestprofile5648 well im 12 too and it's not that hard even though it kinda twists my brain
eres gallego?
I actually find all of this performance awesome, I mean the voice, the passion, the singing and the music. I want to have a taste of that genius as well!
aestival Indeed
I just finished reading the last chapter while listening to this and I can't even explain my emotions
It was truly a great manga
I did the same when I found out the mangaka really made the song. I cried for the whole last chapter.
Was curious to see if someone interpreted the music like it was in the manga and was surprised it was the author himself who’s singing and playing it
It's really cool seeing Urasawa performing this version of Bob Lennon, it sounds like a hybrid between the guitar and vocals of Bob Lennon proper with the lyrics of Gutalala Sudalala.
Tengamos en cuenta que este señor es mangaka, que no es cantante, musico... y sin embargo lo hizo de puta madre, MUCHISIMO mejor que los que estan en el mundo de la musica... sinceramente UN GENIO!
Toda la razón, además reconozcamos que la letra aún no siendo especialmente buena, se hace épica gracias al manga.
Tienes toda la razón, justo como el tío kenji!
***** Como no, leer esa parte escuchando bob lennon es mas que especial... soy una llorona como el novio de kana n_n
De hecho si fue musico antes de ser mangaka.
asi es, el usaba el nombre de bob Lennon y tenia una banda
Urasawa is a musician too? How much more perfect can a man get
I love that he isn't a very polished musical performer it makes it so much more raw and REAL. There is something beautiful about watching someone perform a song for an audience for the first time without having spent a lifetime honing a their skill set and just laying their heart bare. Urusawa and Mirua are my absolute favorite mangaka, extremely grateful Urusawa is still with us.
Além de um mangaka incrível, Urasawa ainda é um ótimo música, simplesmente a minha maior inspiração
I finished reading 20th a few minutes ago. What a masterpiece
So this is what Kenji was singing everyday? And nobody stayed to listen?
I was at this Japan expo... But didn't know 20th Century Boys yet, I missed an awesome chance to meet the greatest mangaka D:
This man is a genius. He had to work with a ridiculous plot, with a guy in a mask trying to take over the world, but he made it work, and he made one of the best mangas in the world.
LONG LIVE THE EXPO
I had to look up for this song just so that I can sang along in my head with everyone in the series while I was reading. Kenji and Bob Lennon saved the world.
Kenji lives within him :')
His singing isn't that bad, i think he goes out of tune intentionally, it's more of a stylistic choice.
Agreeeeed
Damn! That's the definition of perfection, I definitely saw Kenji singing that.
As amazing and impactful the scenes in this manga are when this song is present, I can’t imagine the feeling watching it as an anime while actually hearing this song
I didn't understand anything, but I could feel pain and relief at the same time.
Monster and 20th century boys...this man is a genius,hands down
Este hombre es perfecto , un genio y prodigio en toda la palabra.
I came here after finishing chapter 79: Kenji’s Song. I can’t wait to finish this manga.
When I saw the panels with the chords I immediately remembered Urusawa wrote music. So I scrambled onto CZcams and searched this video up. And I played the song while I read the Kenji’s Song chapter for the first time. This was a beautiful experience
Uma pena que poucos brasileiros conhecem as obras primas do Urasawa.
Tamo junto ✨👀✨
Opa, só criação insana ! O melhor autor na minha opinião.
Eu conheço e amo!!!!
@@l.fernando já podemos ser amigos, por que está difícil conhecer gente assim como vocês !!!
Criador de monster e 20th century boys, maluco é foda
Why are people saying he’s a bad singer? He sings perfectly for this song
They’re saying that as a compliment. Cuz Kenji is known to be a bad singer and Urasawa-san sings just like the main character of his iconic work!
This song has been my No. 1 favorite song for 3 years already
Still there?
tomorrow I have the hardest test of the baccalaureate but this song makes me forget all my stress
Esa armónica desgarra mi alma
😢🤧
❤️😭
2020, the world facing global pandemic n here I am listening an old song n hope maybeeee just mybe this song could save the world once again 😁
One of my fav childhood manga n anime btw
Where is Otcho when we need him ?
@@tonysoprano2193 maybe he still looking for kenji kun
Shogun, where are you?
Where's God when we need his foresight and metaluck?
What do you mean anime? e.e
Ugh. That high note in the 2:05 minute mark always makes me tear up for no reason Must be the frequency.
Yeah I feel weirdly emotional
Some of you might not know but Urasawa released a track of this song sung by him on a cd in 2002 and became a musician in 2006 and he has albums
the real kenji endoh, i want to cry!
Kenji isn't a self insert
It's been 2 months since I finished this!
I still come here periodically :)
This song saved me, us and the world!!
Si solo hubieran más artistas de manga como naoki urazawa.... es simplemente una leyenda.
So many anime out there with great songs yet this song is my favourite.
Thank you master mangaka naoki urasawa
Grande Naoki!
☝️👁
It's exactly how I thought the song would sound, it makes me nostalgic. 😢
My eternal respect to this genius... besides, you know how difficult is for an amateur musician to play guitar while playing harmónica?
No se me ocurre que comentar para alabar lo increíble de este hombre, de este canción y de este manga.
NAOKI URASAWA SENSEI GOAATTTT!!!!!!!
he's not the best singer but his voice is incredibly raw like someone singing due to emotion
Finally I can put a voice to the song
La canción que salvó al mundo
Que genio
Thank you " uncle Kenji"
Guess I’m just like everyone else when I said that finished reading 20th century boys a few minutes ago lol
And here we have him! The GENIUS mangaka of 20th century boys, the masterpiece!
La canción que salvo al mundo :"v
Manga with the most symbol that I've ever known
I hear and see nothing but perfection
That lazy voice. It's real Kenzi. Better than band version of other guys' and Movie OST ver.
For this song, no need for over narism or skillful technique.
The original author knows the best of this song. :)
Although I can't understand Japanese , but This song is beautiful and Urasawa is truly a Genius. 20th century boys is fantastic.
Urasawa the best
Fucking genius
Maestro Naoki Urasawa. Que hablen los que no conocen el origen de Bob Lennon. Los que lo conocemos entendemos el significado que tiene este gran video.
¿Podrías explicarlo? Estoy leyéndome 20th century boys y me gustaría saber cual es su origen
No sé en qué punto del manga vayas, pero si lo estás
leyendo, te aseguro que después de la sangrienta víspera de año nuevo te iras
dando cuenta ^^
Amigo... si de verdad estas leyendo el manga. Sigue leyendo, al final con suerte sabrás quien es "amigo" de verdad, y al final comprenderas el significado de esta cancion y de este video :)
@@ozymandiasmagno Tal vez llegue un poco tarde está explicación, pero Bob Lennon significa que puedes salvar al mundo con una canción, que la gente solo necesita un empujón para salir de la absoluta desesperación y sobre todo, que nadie puede dispararte mientras estés cantando.
Después de todo, esta es la canción que salvó el mundo.
@@jovannimartinezhernandez7435 Ya lo lei y comprendi el mensaje. Pero ay madre, que recuerdos de esta gran historia, y puto tomodachi 😂😂😂
He is a legend ❤❤
Esto es hermoso ver al genio de Naoki Urasawa cantando y tocando esos instrumentos este si es un verdadero artista
Grazie Dario, grazie Mario.. 💜
An absolute masterpiece! Can't stop my tears, have never experienced something like this ever before Thank you Naoki Urasawa Sir ;)
Long live the expo!
Oh my God I've got goosebumps all over... So much talent in only one person, best manga ever, best mangaka ever.
Japan Expo 2012, huh? Wow.
When someone is singing, you can't shoot them
Happy!, Yawara!, Master Keaton, Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto, Billy Bat, and Asadora! Mad man
