Ok🎉
When I was in high school I used practice this piece on an old piano my grandfather fixed for me. He'd listen to me practice and practice for hours every week. It felt so good when I was able to perform the whole piece to him. I'm writing a eulogy for him now, playing this cover because it's my favourite, and it just brings me to tears so easily.
beautiful.
This music is such a part of the movie. Loved all the YMO music,this is just as good. Thank you Mr Sakamoto.🇬🇧🇯🇵
Sakamoto san has cancer, beaten it a few times, but I don't know how long he'll last. I'm praying he'll live until his old age.
Brought a tear to my eye reading that
Thanks for sharing that. May he rest in peace and love. I hope to hear your cover one day, too.
Sakamoto is sadly under recognized for his brilliance. Listening to this cover is second only to listening to the composer himself
He's such a beautiful composer. Not sure if you've seen this, but try this on for size: czcams.com/video/pWI5aVKvkCg/video.html
Yes he touches me like few do.(not in a weird way of course) He is a master of dynamics. His arrangement and string work with David Sylvian was sublime best examples are on the "secrets of the beehive" album
He truly is. His work with the brilliant David Sylvian is among the best music ever made in my opinion. Only later on we will rediscover their greatness. Long after they've gone unfortunately.
And this is the only song of his that I can seem to find sheet music for. Other beautiful pieces like thousand knives or the last emperor are really hard to find so it's difficult to be able to learn them.
Google Trio World Tour..... Cello/violin/piano ensemble back in 96. When they played this song, admittedly got goosebumps.
Goodbye Mister Sakamoto. RIP.
You make me understand why people fall in love with musicians. The way you play is just so dream like it almost doesn't feel real.
Came back to this after hearing the news. Rest in Peace, Ryuichi Sakamoto!
In memory of Ryuichi Sakamoto😔😔
R.I.P
This particular song has a immense presence in my life. I just randomly found it on youtube and somehow got me listening as many versions i could get my hands on. I'm the kind of guy who locks himself out every time i have a hard issue and need time to work on. This very song and Thousand Knives are my ultimate relief. When times were the hardest, and after hours and hours of overthinking these 2 songs were what hugged me in the dark and made me feel everything's will come just fine. So i have a very strong bond with them. The weird thing is, I've never knew they were from a movie! So after watching it, after feeling how Ryuichi wrote the song around the characters in the movie and their feelings... Man, that was a fucking shock. I truly discovered that what this song means to me is just impossible to describe.
Bruno Omar ok
Bruno Omar I know exactly what you mean
you should give joe hisaishi a try as well.., ludovico eneuaidi, yiruma... all great contemporary composers in similar genres
same! This song means a lot to me but it is impossible to describe the feeling
I’ve been doing some thinking recently about this channel and a thought popped into my mind overnight. It’s been a really interesting journey sharing my love of the piano with everyone all over the world. It still trips me out that I spend an afternoon recording a track (it has to be the afternoon for those curious about the process, as the piano is lit by natural light - it’s best between 1pm - 4pm in the room that I’m recording in), sitting by myself in front of a piano in my music school, and that people from all over the world get to experience a very private moment of my creative process.
What I find particularly interesting though is when I listen back to these interpretations, there’s a pretty strong disconnect between playing/recording the tracks and hearing them back. Without a drop of ego, I personally enjoy listening to these tracks either late at night to help me fall asleep, occasionally in the morning when I wake up to find some more motivation about working on my Radiohead songbook, but my favourite time would definitely be when I’m travelling, especially in airports or on planes, and also on public transport. As there are a lot of returning subscribers and listeners on this channel, my question to you is this: Where and when do you listen to these tracks? What are you doing? Working? Studying? Travelling? Eating breakfast? Passing out? What time of day is it? What do you see? How does it make you feel?
I’d be very curious to hear your thoughts, so hit me up.
As always, thanks for supporting the channel and for incorporating this music into your lives. Man, the internet blows my mind sometimes x
played with intent and emotion in every key... when am i listening to this? As i dream, as i create... i would like to use your cover in my newest Yt video, thoughts?
Well, I'm listening to your music when I am alone and I need to create something. I listen to these tracks whenever I feel like writing. They have been my source of inspiration for some time. I'm very happy to associate my work with yours and I hope you'll never stop doing this. Good luck!
Where and when do you listen to these tracks?
= Usually wherever there's free wifi (would be more often if you offered an mp3/flac *hint hint*
What are you doing?
= Working, Studying, Eating breakfast, Passing out
What time of day is it?
= Any time tbh
What do you see?
= The hands of an amazing pianist who has really wonderful interpretations of songs (better than the originals imo)
How does it make you feel?
= Relaxed, pensive
+robboster They'll be available for download shortly 😃

Glad you enjoyed the track!

I was touched by the piano performance.
I’ve kept listening to it for 2 months. I love both the way you play the song and the movie. I think your performance is actually more emotional their Mr. Sakamoto’s. I love it.

OMG, I love this song so much since my childhood. Can't imagine any pianist able to vring the sweetness out of this melancholic song. Thank you so much.
Brilliant performance of a fantastic and emotional masterpiece by Mr. Sakamoto. Superb playing. Love it.
Best version I've heard ever, correct key and pace

Thank you very much! This is my favorite composition from Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Beautifully explained, without a word being spoken. Perfecto!
Brilliant performance, magic ❤☃️🌲🎅🏼
you have taken a family favorite that was already deeply meaningful and enhanced it for me......thank you
The way you played this piece makes me want to go back into playing piano and learn it. You played it beautifully and I like listening to it when I'm not in a good head space.
Perhaps one of it not the best cover of this amazing tune. Fascinating to watch the hands dance left and right.
Was so enjoying the piece itself that it didn't strike me until that beautiful ending how brilliantly played this is too
This is so emotional
Much applause. Beautiful version Impeccable. And apart it is a video that is a pleasure to watch. Thank you. From Salta, Argentina.
Amazing sound😍
This is so beautiful😊
My favorite thing about covers are experiencing how each person interprets the piece differently and how you can feel the emotion from each individual through their interpretation...
Beautifully played. Crisp and straightforward, but all the emotion is there.
Quel beau morceau de musique, Sakamoto est un génie.
Très belle interprétation.
Superbe. Merci beaucoup.
I listen to this most days, it’s funny I never seem to tire of it,I find Josh’s cover of this musically and technically utterly brilliant, a sublime masterpiece ,
,
ひとつひとつがとても丁寧な音で、とても感動しました、、！

I watched his playing this song, was so emotional with its feeling.
This music will haunt me until the very end. Excellent interpretation.
Brillant performance, bravo...
AMAZING!
Thanks You !! I Looooove This Tracks, and you're playing very good !
Ryuichi Sakamoto composition/score is so moving, it really helped me learn more on the piano -a few years back, and Josh's interpretation is fabulous. Hats off to the composer and the pianist.. Beautiful sound.
Lovely cover, lovely song.
Beautiful 🥺
戦場のメリークリスマス最高👌💓また弾けるように頑張ろ😬✨
merci pour mes oreilles , j'adore cette musique depuis très longtemps et vous la jouez à merveille ! magique
I was in the middle of Tokyo shibuya hotel on Christmas Eve sitting by my self at the lobby and there was this piano sounds coming-out from the little speakers at the lobby and it's this song, and it's recharged all my soul, my heart instantly
Yours is the best cover of this piece I have found on youtube.
love you for this - mr josh cohen
Beautiful.....
Awesome cover!!! Well done!!!
ive been playing this song for a couple months, and I think I just realized the true Beauty of it. My piano teacher and I started it later so I only learned about 1/2 of it, and now I think im going to learn the rest and other songs like it over the next few weeks
