June 2020.I know this song for about 11 years now from Samurai Champloo anime and it hits me everytime in my soul. Beautiful song and performance from n the artist.
This song basically got me to finally go visit japan in 2016 . When i played it stepping there for the first time i couldn't hold a few tears .. played in on repeat the hole time and play it everytime i go there .. now learning it on the piano February 2021

The crushing weight of the past that all of us carry; the feeling of helplessness and loneliness at having lost those moments. This song, even though lyrically different, is a testament to that.
My stepfather built a house for my mother and siblings as if a hundred carpenters made it from singly drawn straws In my youth I begged the clothing of my friends so that the love I saw blossoming would not be so embarrassed to be seen beside me I remember being comforted by rain as a mask to what was really happening Some of us still know
"Let us celebrate the golden house that was built by 100 black kites" the emotion conveyed in this song makes my heart sink. No language barrier can hide its beauty.
She is singing in the Amami kotoba language therefore a part of Okinawa when the Satsuma clan illegally overthrew the Ryukyuan Kingdom. The Amami Oshima people & others in the island chain during that time fought the Japanese invaders after losing the Satsuma clan now which is Kagoshima took Amami Oshima and made it a part of their prefecture for fighting them. The people still remember who they were their music but they have changed somewhat to Satsuma's influence. But deep down they know that they are Shimanchu.
رغم اني شخص عربي ولا أفهم الكثير من اليابانيه الا ان هذه الأغنية وصوت المغنية شدتني شعرت بشيء غريب وعندما ترجمتها وجدتها تشرح ما احس به 😢احببتها جدا🌺🇯🇴
Don’t even remember how long ago I first heard this, hits home every time, leaves me absolutely in shambles. The world and my life has changed a lot since then, but this hasn’t. Might be due to the anime and the feeling it conveyed in that beautiful scene. Thank you for uploading, really.
This similar style of singing is also used in the place I originally come from. As we follow a shamanic type of culture back at my hometown so we use this in our traditional songs to call the gods (Hinduism) but the culture is also influenced by Buddhism and I have also seen similar style of singing in some Tibetan songs too. Find this similarity a bit shocking and intriguing at the same time! What is this song exactly about, i read its from the Amami region in Japan and although I have read the lyrics and am also a Japanese language student but can someone tell me where I can read more on this?
This song is a folklore of the Ryukyu people, who were used as fodder for wars and were enslaved and had their culture nearly extinct. Fatefully, their culture and stories thrived through their music and although much diluted, their spirit still lives on. In Japan, Okinawa is one of the major places where this culture and its influence can still be seen, however these people are still discriminated against to this day. This song shows that these people want to break free of these atrocities, live and enjoy life like normal people and be happy, but since direct expression of such things was dangerous for them back then, therefore they wrote this song in the form of a lover's metaphor. In Hinduism we have similar musical tendencies, but the best of this art form is seen in the tribal areas, especially in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan where you'll hear all sorts of beautiful stories and emotions in raw and soulful local language and music.
Creative inspiration sometimes works in a way, that channels through the media of a composer a tune, a melody, that represents some very deep and meaningful things. It's information carried by music, not by words. So this particular tune which is inseparable from unique style of singing by Ikue Asadzaki works all together as a true spirit of ancient Japan. A soul song, that tells about things that passed in times immemorial and is a weeping for those values and qualities of people and this nation that were present across Japanese islands long time ago. Some of those islands now lie hidden somewhere within the depths of the ocean....
This is a very very very sad song. The lyrics are in a dialect only spoken on specific island. The translation of it is out there. I first heard, it like so many of us, in the episode of samurai champloo. And it made me aware of bad unavoidable things that will happen to me. And they did happen... Now when I hear that Song I'm transported back in time where life was better. And it makes me sad. Everybody is gone now. I'm alone...
@bic @nilah stones A big hug for both of you. I hope and pray that the tides change and you receive whatever your hearts really want. (I know this doesn't have any effect on the realities you live in, still wanted to say it.)
Makes you feel like a warrior that has lost it all and is now taking his time to go through the process on a mountain top. It's time to either get weaker or evolve in to a stronger being. It all depends on the warrior.
She has the voice of god, I never heard something like that. My heart is broken, my tears flow... thank you for that beautiful song, I'll never forget these feelings.
@@Based_Face I think something is lost in the translation. Sometimes you can translate word for word but not convey the contextual meaning. And sometimes they translate the rhythmic patterns to make the song "singable" in another language. Great performance regardless.
The light of the harvest moon shines down, illuminating the world with its divine light When my lover sneaks in to visit me, I wish that the clouds would hide that light just a little. still got me....
This is not being recorded in a world class studio. You are essentially hearing a dead language. Their recording equipment is behind as well as their mastering, she peaks out of range continually, it’s part of what gives it such a haunting sound.
Good times remembering the Samurai Champloo series, when I saw the scene it made me reflect on many things, the music is a masterpiece and the feeling with which the artist sings is unmatched, today when I am a bit discouraged I listen to it and the energy returns サムライチャンプルーシリーズを思い出して良い時間でした、そのシーンを見て色々なことを考えさせられました、音楽も名曲でアーティストの歌唱感も比類のないもので、今日ちょっと落ち込んだときに聴くと、エネルギーが戻ってくる Saludos desde México🟢⚪🔴
amami and ryukyu(okinawa) is originally different country ryukyu invade amami and amami people get discrimination and racism from ryukyu people in past time
Everytime I come across this song, it goes on repeat. One question for anyone that may know. Is this traditional style of singing for female only or do the men sing have or had, this style of singing also?
Спасибо от всего сердца Ikue Asazaki и Akira Takahashi.Спустя столько лет эта песня всё так же прекрасна,как и в мои 18 лет когда я впервые её услышал.Берегите себя и будьте счастливы.
It's 2024 and I still can't get over the feeling of this song...

beautiful words, are these yours, or is it a quote?
Spot on, my friend
My stepfather built a house for my mother and siblings as if a hundred carpenters made it from singly drawn straws
In my youth I begged the clothing of my friends so that the love I saw blossoming would not be so embarrassed to be seen beside me
I remember being comforted by rain as a mask to what was really happening
Some of us still know
I just drank a few beers and liked it 👍
I’ll be back
"Let us celebrate the golden house that was built by 100 black kites" the emotion conveyed in this song makes my heart sink. No language barrier can hide its beauty.
@@KK-ww1hshello from what I understood it is Amami Japanese which is different from Okinawa Japanese
Came here from Samurai Champloo, don’t understand a word but I can feel every sound 👏🏾
Samurai champloo brought all of us heren
So this is the lady that sings this beautifully haunting music I always listens too. You are legend lady. Damn 11 years already.
Without fail I listen to this song at least once or twice a year. Itll just pop into my head and I have to listen to it. Such a beautiful song
You are not the only one.

Could you tell me where can I find more info about this? I'd love to know

When is an overthrow Legal
Cringe leftism, the Japanese conquered them, get conquered, get cucked, get fucked, imperialism is based.
"It's illegal!" lol yeah tell that to my katana bitch this shit is ours now
This is the song I think about when my mind won’t be quiet and I can’t sleep. Works every time

For me there's no better song in helping to unload from time to time the accumulated heaviness of the soul through tears.
Beautiful comment
You know you're experiencing some masterpiece when emotions overflow. It was like that with Samurai Champloo, and it like this with this song.
So BEAUTIFUL!!! I wanted to cry.
this song always brings tears to me eyes
I adore and respected her music. her voice is haunting my sadness. I've been collecting her music. Much love from the Philippines!
Don’t even remember how long ago I first heard this, hits home every time, leaves me absolutely in shambles. The world and my life has changed a lot since then, but this hasn’t. Might be due to the anime and the feeling it conveyed in that beautiful scene. Thank you for uploading, really.
The most beautiful song of all times, it simply butters your soul... thank you
This song is beautiful😍😍

Master piece
Amazing, a tear comes my eye
excelente canción ,
The light of the harvest moon shines down, illuminating the world with its divine light
When my lover sneaks in to visit me,
I wish that the clouds would hide that light just a little.
still got me....
Que hermosa musica🎉🎉🎉🎉
Música profunda.
Anybody else hearing weird pops and crackle in the audio?
I hear it too.

HI THERE
it is a shame this audio has pops in it
SUBLIME
No dislikes???? Legend
im drown
you can tell. she is singing with all of her soul... makes a grow man tear up even thinking ab it.
I've heard numerous covers but the song is not the same without her unique voice. Definitely one of my favorites
This Song hits Hard!!!
Like a damn truck
Literally her voice is everything.
The sound is the same version that appears in samurai champloo. But i don't know about the video. I was expecting a different version.
Good times remembering the Samurai Champloo series, when I saw the scene it made me reflect on many things, the music is a masterpiece and the feeling with which the artist sings is unmatched, today when I am a bit discouraged I listen to it and the energy returns
サムライチャンプルーシリーズを思い出して良い時間でした、そのシーンを見て色々なことを考えさせられました、音楽も名曲でアーティストの歌唱感も比類のないもので、今日ちょっと落ち込んだときに聴くと、エネルギーが戻ってくる

Instantly in my head: Mugen sinking into the sea
Why do I feel like crying?
amami and ryukyu(okinawa) is originally different country
ryukyu invade amami and amami people get discrimination and racism from ryukyu people in past time
how tf does this sound exactly the same as the studio version
Everytime I come across this song, it goes on repeat.
One question for anyone that may know. Is this traditional style of singing for female only or do the men sing have or had, this style of singing also?
she sings it exactly like the song
love to anyone from samurai Champloo
This is beautiful... This song transcends barrier of language...
Here voice has so much life in it I can’t help but get emotional 🔥❤️
Hermosa canción ❤
Спасибо от всего сердца Ikue Asazaki и Akira Takahashi.Спустя столько лет эта песня всё так же прекрасна,как и в мои 18 лет когда я впервые её услышал.Берегите себя и будьте счастливы.
I remember staring at moonlight while this played, hard to believe that was 13 years ago
Not a lick of Japanese, but I feel it and agree 100%
