In the corner of a busy office at the NHK Broadcasting Center in Shibuya, Tokyo, a staffer rearranged books, vinyl records and tchotchkes on a bright red shelving unit. The production crew double-checked equipment settings and made small adjustments to the lighting. Another worker added a few more posters to the tall white file cabinets. Cameras were set and microphones were ready because Fujii Kaze and his band had just rehearsed the night before. Everyone in the room - including a few of us from NPR that were there to help - was eager and excited because the very first performance for Tiny Desk Concerts JAPAN was about to start.
Popular around the world, the talented Fujii Kaze is a Japanese singer and pianist known for his sultry R&B grooves and catchy songwriting. His adventurous spirit was strong as he settled into the Tiny Desk way - a concert that's intimate, mostly acoustic and recorded without reverb, effects, in-ear monitors or wedges. During the rehearsal, the band quickly acclimated to the environment and adjusted instrument volumes to hear each other better. The end result was a beautiful 30 minute set, captured without pause and with no stops, restarts or retakes.
This video is part of the second international version of Tiny Desk, a joint venture between NPR and The Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) - the sole public media organization in Japan that is operated with the purpose of providing the latest news, education and culture both domestically and internationally. This new series will spotlight emerging and established Japanese artists with the same engaged performances, look and feel of the original Tiny Desk Concerts series.

This might be one of my favorite tiny desk concerts of all time. Just wow.
Mine too! He's amazing
A twitch streamer I follow streamed this on her channel a couple weeks ago and have been a fan of this guy's music ever since. Awesome performance
What streamer?
This has to be one of the best tiny desks ever recorded, and I watched a LOT of them haha
Omg, their music feels just like a Japanese Bosa Nova. I'm Brazilian, and that's what I feel every time i hear this special, It's just so beautiful, even though I can't understand a Single word of what they're singing 😂❤❤❤
Pls check subtitles. Lyrics he writes are so amazing like a revelation from God. Especially Garden and Overflowing
Thank you for your kind words. Fujii Kaze is still young and I don't think he has yet reached the sophistication of bossa nova, but I hope that he will one day become a great artist like Tom Jobim. I dream of being blessed with the same good fortune as Ryuichi Sakamoto, who once let me record at Tom's house.
彼は既に偉大なアーティストだと思っている、初めて彼の音楽を聞いた時のショックは今でも忘れない。
何これ最高すぎる
ちゃんと藤井風を聴いてきたわけではなかったんだけど、何となく見始めたら
開始5秒で釘付けになった…
子供の看病で疲れて病みそうだったけど癒された（ ; ; ）特にGarden。
ありがとう、、、
Garden♪が癒しの時間になって良かったです♡
お子様のご病状が良くなりますように。
なんだろう、風さんの曲聞くと浄化されるんだよね。
ずっと聴いていたい。
wow best tiny desk concert ever
Chanced upon this video playing on TV in Osaka
Wow what an experience! I get to hear your fantastic music last week on a trip to Japan, and since then, I am hooked. just WOW. Cheers from Costa Rica.
i love you, hay tuyệt cho những ai được nghe, thật vui, nghệ
If America had John Lennon, Japan has Fuji Kaze. A wise man once said
John Lennon was English.. Not exactly wise.
Fujii Kaze is a great artist to start with. He writes his songs, he is talented, and he did it with hard work and on his own.
There are a lot, a LOT of talented musicians in Japan that never get any recognition and dream to play even in random live houses in Shinjuku,
So bringing Kaze-san on is truly a big NPR move. You're showing that hey, yes he made it big, but it's still not easy, it's still a struggle, so he and the whole band deserves some love from around the world.
The love that went into the set is something you can tell he'd appreciate, without even knowing him. Good luck in the future to anyone else that wants to make it in music!
Well he has a great team behind him but what you said is accurate for the most part :)
@@vspirit Oh yes, no disrespect to the team that help make him the name he has, 100%. Good correction :)
Guys it's never too late to start listening to Fujii Kaze (typing error before)
Fujii please
you mean xqc?
@@Gencirnfb LOL It's only the hair but yeah he kinda does give me Japanese XQC vibes
@@luisalejandrodelacruzgonza3806 sorry for the mistake😂🙏🏻
😅音を楽しむと書いて音楽というんだよ、ってことを映像化したのがこの動画です。
風くんは「誰かが、ちょっといい気分で人生を送れたりする為に､音楽🎶をやっとる様なもんなんで‥」と言う人なんです！
He's drawing the notes in the air by his hands unconsciously, and playing the keyboard like it was nothing!
Kinda of genius I am totally amazed
truly incredible, love u
風さん 幸福ですね
本当に大喜びですね
JVKE愛❤が素敵すぎます😭
Wow!!!
jvke!!!!!!!!
😮🎉🎉🎉
the collaboration between you and Kaze was also truly incredible 🦋
ありがとう
この動画をたまたま見つけた私はとても運がいい❤
本当に､良かったですね！
出会うべきして出会ったのでしょうね。
おめでとうございます！
子供の頃からのピアノ🎹､歌謡曲､洋楽カバー曲が沢山配信されていますよ🎵
i love this guy, really his voice is beautiful
I lived with paralysing PTSD. Basically I was borderline alive for a decade. Then one day last year I randomly stumbled upon Kaze's Love All Serve All concert on Netflix. Long story short, by listening to his amazing songs every day, Kaze's message of joy, self-love and acceptance germinated in my soul. Within a few short weeks no more PTSD. No more nightmares. No more depressive thoughts. His music hit me like a miracle freight train. btw, I keep this story on the low because, fact, nobody would believe it if I told them.
I hope that many beautiful flowers will bloom in your garden from now on. I would be happy if Japanese music can help in that regard, even if only a little.
I believe your story. You're not the only one who says depression was cured after listening to his music.
I totally believe you! His music was invaluable in helping me get through a really rough period last year. I wish you all the love ❤
same as me
This comment should be pinned 🥹
one of my dreams finally came true: kaze performing at tiny desk
Amazing!! Thank you for a great show, one of the top NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Big fan from South Africa...
His voice is so beautiful-it's actually taught me more about wavelengths and frequencies than my physics teacher ever did.
What’s the physical characteristics of Kaze’s voice wavelengths and frequencies based on your observations ?
His music is tuned to 432hz instead of the standard 440hz, which gives his songs a unique warmth and beauty.
@@myrose0123 ok my time to shine, firstly let’s talk about wavelengths. Sound, including Fujii Kaze’s marvellous voice travels in the form of waves through the air, these waves have different lengths corespondent to different pitches, when Fujii Kaze sings, his voice generates a medley of waves with varying lengths, producing a rich spectrum of tones that resonate both with our ears and souls.
For example, in Matsuri, the chorus goes from a high pitch with a bright and energetic tone that perfectly reflects the celebratory theme of the song while also delving into the relaxed and conversational tone during the verses, adding a warm, gentle and intimate timbre.
When the electric guitar part comes, his vocals become climactic and again change the tone.
Humans making sound itself is complex interplay of airflow, vocal cord vibrations, and resonance within the vocal tract. Fujii Kaze's ability to control these factors with precision allows him to effortlessly transition between high and low pitches, creating the masterpiece we just watched.
Fujii Kaze's voice exhibits a distinctive timbre, or tone quality, that is warm and resonant . Timbre is influenced by the shape of the vocal tract and the unique characteristics of the vocal cords, and Fujii Kaze's timbre evokes a sense of intimacy and emotional depth in his music. Specially seen in “Garden” according to me, the lyrics blended with the tone of his voice almost too perfectly.
Anyway he’s a gem, love him.
(I have a literature paper tomorrow, I will bid you guys adieu now, thank you)
@@jeneticallyfkdありがとうございます Fujii Kazeを愛することが嬉しく彼を愛する人全てに感謝します
@@jeneticallyfkd Thank u for sharing your analysis and exposition. Unfortunately, I preferred the scientific proof of view to the general overview(incl Hz , db, etc) I had already known. Anyway, thank you for your time and comment. It was fun. I love science and liberal arts. I hope some scientists will study/research about Kaze’s music based on the physics, psychophysics, quantum physics, astronomy, mathematics, etc in the future. We all recognize Fujii Kaze is the talented amazing musician. love Kaze. 🫶
Hope he will hold a concert in Singapore.
13:30えぐい
耳が幸せって初めて感じたかも
He needs to do a world tour 😭
I agree too!!!
We have concerts in LA and New York in May.
World tour!!!
Yes!Yes!
can't wait for him to come to Europe
Feeling I could live another day because of this video
Lovely. And this is why kaze does what he does :)
FujiiKaze is a legendary artist not only in Japan but also around the world❤🎉
Those backup singers are EXTREMELY underrated
ここには愛が満ち溢れている。だから何回でも訪れたくなる。
Fujii Kaze himself is a work of art.
what a cutie!
I don't understand a single word but I feel every word
Brilliant!💗
You can turn on the subtitles.😊
Kirariのアレンジ最高すぎんか
やばい、完全に中毒だ
私も
私も中毒になりました、最高のマスターピースです
私も毎日聴いてます😂❤

I strongly petition to have this man perform at Coachella for 2025
It'd be so great right ❤🎉
YESSSSSSS!!
yeah no.... he's way too good for coachella
Sadly he almost never attend festival 😔 only in his early debut year that he did
@@sanapomu5138 exactly
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FUJII KAZE!!
Having Johnny Depp as lead guitarist is Wild
毎日このステキなコンサートを見るのが日課です✨✨️
he makes me want to learn Japanese just to understand his lyrics as he is singing
He writes English lyrics by himself, and very beautiful too.
Never heart about the guy but they all are awesome musicians. Will listen more his live performances. Greetings from the Czech Republic
Guitar player is hotter than the sun
顔面普通にかっこよすぎんか！？？？？
それよか自然で楽しんでるところが最高に最高に最高にがっごいいいいいィィ🔥
I’m a musician and a long time fan. I was very delighted when I find out about this, and Matsuri was so good that I immediately grabbed my bass mid-song to play along. To my surprise I sounded off-key. It was then I found out that Fujii Kaze and his music team used the 432hz tuning- not the usual 440hz used by most popular music. Not gonna go into the rocket sciencey spiritual stuff but this is also why the songs hits different. It is said that 432hz is the natural frequency of the earth, and it directly corresponds to the human body, mind and soul. It is the natural healing frequency. I’m not someone who is into this kind of metaphysical theories, but after this performance, I’m a believer. Well done to Fujii Kaze and the NPR team and excuse my long-winded rambling. Love from Australia 🥰
あなたの音楽も応援しております♬
I've heard he's a stickler for pitch (Hz).
Well, Kaze intentionally tuned Matsuri in 432hz for healing! 🥰
I think many of his songs are tuned to 432hz
I’ve never known about the tuning even though I’ve tried to cover his song 🙈 that’s why it’s pleasant to hear 😊 thank you for your comment and mentioning about it. I learned something new today
He is truly an artist
best starting seconds. that piano 💔
Perfect blend of Jazz, Funk and City Pop.
Edit: May I just add, those RNB/Slow Jams beats is a reminiscent of mid 2000's vibe. Thanks for the likes guys!
Your description is perfect. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great way to put it 🔥
Exactly!
Basically a blend of African American music
@@Genkaku well you are correct sir or ma'am since Jazz, Funk and RNB is pretty much brought to us by our African American brothers and sisters. That blends well with City Pop which technically originated in Japan isn't it?
I have never heard of these people before and I didn't have a clue why YT kept pushing this video on my recommended for weeks. Bro... I've finally gave it a shot and now I know, this is heavenly! Props to the singer and the band, they're all amazing
Oh. I know the last song, that explains a lot 😅
@@beatrizandera Good job YT kept pushing you. Glad you liked it!
IT'S FUJII KAZE THE GUY
Same! Been putting it on replay for week now. 🥰
I'm in love, respectfully
I love how each of them have their own energy they bring to the group. The groove, the peace, the love, it’s all so unique and beautiful. Amazing set. I hope to see more of them.
Understand:0%
Positive Energy: 100000%
😅😊😊😊❤
feeling it tho
it's good!! but please turn on captions then
@@moonchild4277 i even feel the spirit each time listening to his songs without attention to lyrics
@@samtyler6838 that's great ♡
誰かが少しでもいい気分になるために歌をうたってるそれがすべてなんでと語っていた風君
そんな純粋な気持ちが今も変わらないから 世界中の人を魅了するんだと思います。
絶賛のコメントみると自分が褒められてるみたいに嬉しいです。
同じ気持ちです！
風くんの思いが世界中の人々に伝わって嬉しいですね✨✨
最近のポップスはテレビ向けをそんなに意識する必要なくなったからすごい良くなったわ
It's unfair that he's not an international artist more than he is
maybe it's only a matter of time
Why is he singing so happily? He seems to express the joy of his soul in music with his whole body.
because he really wants to share that joy with listeners - that's what he just said on his Instagram. he is such a person.
He is just that kind of person.... he loves his music more than anyone else
@@user-ep3qo4ku3y
You should check out his CZcams channel. You can see him playing piano and singing with much joy and free since way before his debut when he was posting from his own childhood home
kaze always being kaze
His performance comes out naturally. Like he didn't try to impress the audience. He's just having fun with his friends. And then it is unexpectedly amazing!
I love you❤
i fckng love japan cause literally every musician is a jazz nerd
Estoy demasiado Obsesionada con este Tiny desk 😍❤🔥
風さんの音を聞くだけで天国にいるような感じがします
love from china
I’m so happy ❤❤❤
Matsuri is just a perfect feel-good song
Fujii's live singing has the same impact as seeing a real Picasso painting.
❤Fujii kaze said❤”Please never buy ridiculously expensive tickets. Please save your precious money or use it for other useful things. PEACE🙏🙏🙏“
Lets respect his feelings!!
One word: SUGOI
wow my idol!😱
dude's vibe is like sakura flowers blowing in the wind on a nice sunny April skies.
I love your comment. Beautiful like his song
So true! Was that pun intended?? You do know that his first name Kaze means wind, right?
So easy to visualize. Beautifully described.
it's crazy you say this because his name (kaze) literally means wind
I'm Japanese,Your comment is great!!!!!!!💖✨
I just discovered him yesterday when this was recommended to me and here I am again rewatching him. He is amazingly talented and radiates so much love and happiness. Best luck to him!
We love messages like this because everyone knows how fortunate you are. Please listen to his other songs and introduce Fujii Kaze to others. Let's expand the happy and peaceful world his music brings.
15:04 on is just pure perfection - beautiful guitar, fuji kaze casually playing one of the best solos on the keys without looking, synth keys' smoothness in the background, beautiful drum rhythms
このtiny deskは、もっともっと世界の風さんを知らない人にも、届きますように。
そして、風さんの音楽で気持ち良く幸せに暮らせる人がもっともっと増えますように。
本当に､その通りだと思います！
生き方に勇気と､挑戦してみようと力がもらえますよね。

I don't know how many times I've looked at this since the first time! A truly talented young man who makes me feel like a citizen of Earth. Living proof that good music transcends all geographic, cultural and racial barriers.
that's right❤
He always talk to people
‘We are sisters,
brothers of this universe.’ So I am very elderly sister.❤
Yeh...you're kind of a racist, bro. They're great because they care about what they're doing. America isn't the only place good art exists which is the basis of your pronouncement on cultural barriers.
I can’t stop coming back to this every day
Me too 😭
本当にこの動画全てが心地良い、嫌な事忘れられた
NHKの本放送を観て感動して、「満ちていく」だけはアップされていて、何度も観ていて。そして
テーラースイフトでも観てみようと検索したら、なんと全編アップしてるの発見！それからほぼ毎日観ている60になった男子です。
岡山の友人から風さんの事教えてもらい、早二年、ほぼ全動画好きなのですが、80年代の洋楽カバーも大好きで。センス良いなぁって。このtiny desk concertもとてもポップでジャージーなアレンジ。
以前あったアンプラグドライブみたくで心良い。
益々好きになりました。
USA tourがどれだけ盛り上がるかとても楽しみです。てゆうか大評価されるのは間違いないですが。
良い音楽は確実に心のビタミン、
聴くだけでハッピーになれる。
みんなさん、風さんを聴いて、毎日ハッピーに過ごして参りましょう！
ハッピーに。
Just want to open this video for the background music, but I ended up watched and enjoyed a whole 29 minutes live performance. He sings with his voice, body, and soul. I immediately became a fan. = )
I was gonna do the same thing! I wanted background music for reading manga and I got distracted by this amazing guy 😍😍 I’m ready to stannnn
EVERY BREATH HE TAKES SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC
I prefer this than the studio, sounds more soulful.
this keep popping up on my recomendation, but i didn't really care
and this time i try to give it a shot, and regret why not clicked it sooner T.T
Better late than never😊💕
One of the most transcedent music experiences I've had in a while
Same 😦
Ｉ think so,too!
Good music is good music 🎶
Exactly! 🤩
I feel the same!❤
hes just a visionary
わかる方多いかもだけど…これ少しだけ観ようと思って開いちゃうと絶対最後まで釘付けになっちゃう。何回観ても！😂
あっという間の30分弱
Agree
Me, too.～！！！！!
me、 too❤
脳内ドーパミンが満ちてきて🍀🍀🍀
Kazeの音楽を聴くだけで、幸せに満ちてゆく🎉
俺はオフライン保存して毎日車で聴いたりイヤホンで聴いたり😂
Apart from Fujii Kaze being so perfect, nobody’s gonna talk about how good the musicians and backing vocals are? Nishina’s vocal really stands out a lot.

This guy is so incredible, he has such a great balance between pop, R&B and Jazz, everything is sophisticated enough while still very pleasant to listen too, such talent.
I like the scene from the time when Kaze covers his face with his hands at the song "I'd rather die" His fake is attractive feel sweet and sad.🥹
My poor English may not be understood.😅
満ちていく、あったかいよ。
音楽でこんなに心が“整う”感覚は今まで感じたことがなかったです。
毎日聞いて気持ちをtreatmentしてます✨
アレンジサイコーですよね！
コーラスお二人の力を感じます❤
楽しい。
みんなが楽しそうで、こちらまで楽しくなる。
ここにくるといつもステキ時間！
His voice is amazing, his style is amazing, his music is amazing, and he's so joyful! AND he composes/plays an instrument for his music too?! I'm more obsessed
彼は 作詞作曲と 英訳も自分で、すべてやってます。
小さい頃からやってる ピアノは、家にあった電子ピアノをヘッドホンをつけて、好きな時間にいつでも弾いていたので、気付けば打鍵が 凄く強くなっていたそうです。
だから ピアニストとして上手なだけでなく、ジャージーで超絶技巧で、ピアノを見なくても 弾けるようになったらしいです！
他に サックスも吹けて これも最高ですよ！
ぜひ！CZcamsで検索を❣️
隣の駅で降りるはずだったのに
2つ先で気がついた😅
何度も見て聴いているのに
良すぎるのよ❤
Never heard of Fujii Kaze until NPR posted this. This is awesome!!!!!! Much love from Philadelphia

皆さんも､それを観て又魅了されます‥‥笑
I am truly happy that so many people around the world have "discovered" Fujii Kaze's greatness and are praising him✨
Good music transcends language barriers.
In addition, I would like to let you know that the Japanese word choice in his lyrics is very delicate and soft, as are the melody, rhythm, and harmony💖
How had I never heard of him before? This is AMAZING!
He is honestly amazing, i didn't know how quirky and dramatic he was before, love his song, personality, just everything!
Turn on subtitles guys
From Viet Nam, I’m truly love these people
