Someone asked what guitar he's playing: it's a Little Martin. Also, someone asked about the chords. The song is in the key of A, but played in the C position with the capo on the 9th fret. Intro and verse is Cadd9-Cadd9/F. Then bridge is G-Em7-Fmaj7. Short pause is Em7-G-F. Then the last parts are C-Fmaj7-Am-G, closing with just C-Fmaj7 several times.
I've translated it: In the water’s surface where I jumped in the sky and the sea fold together. Flying through the water right under the folding sky. From the middle of the sea I can see the sky’s edge in the surface of the water. Flying through the folds of the water, floating in the sea, I am awakened. The front of a boat that was floating sinks. Now I can see it, I bird flying. Might not be 100% accurate but I think it's about right. I can post the Japanese too in another comment...
oh my god. this guy. he is amazing. I want to look peaceful while strolling through the suburbs singing and playing the guitar!! the band just following him around silently in the beginning is cute :D
Man I love Shugo Tokumaru this whole album rules. Exit is very good too. Very melodic and catchy. I find myself singing his songs all day even though my japanese is rough. I really liked this video. Thanks for this..now only if i could meet him in person.
Purely amazing. I know a small fraction of Japanese but I know enough to understand he is singing about nature in some way. I absolutely love bands like this, and I think i just found one of my new favorites.
I really enjoy la Blogotheque. Good to see Japan getting involved. It's a shame they're not on skateboards. I could really dig that. If not how about roller-skates?
What it'd be to float/up or to stream forth/from the dusky grey/threshold of the sky. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sky to/keep it afloat. The sight made me ponder. The dorey's tip/bobbed above/Though the rest/Had sunk out of view. I peer round/but the bird/I saw had/now flown away, too.
I'm not sure how accurate this is, I had a friend write down the lyrics, she translated a few as well. Something like: "Jumped into the surface of the water, from the intersection. In the water flew. Fold and bend, under the sky. In the sea, on the surface of the water, what I can see, the end of the sky. In the water, flew. Fold and bend, float on the sea. I am awakened"
I plunged into the/water's surface in/the crease where the sea and sky bend, twinned, like reflected spaces. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sky to/the place below. I am in the sea./From the water's face,/I can witness the/threshold of the sky. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sea to/keep it afloat. The sight made me wake up.
I've been obsessed with this performance of Shugo's since it was released! A question for Black XS Live Sound: was the bulk of this filmed digitally or on film? It has such a great film-grain look.
@TetraChromaticArt I think he is the best musicians out there today. I love every one of his albums, and ya i totally agree even though its in Japanese it feels so familiar. He has such a unique sound that is just beautiful.
Who was here 10 years ago... and now you are here again enjoying this music?
Mattydigs checkin in ;)
yes! :) @@charlespancamo9771
Me dawg
And ive seen him live 9 times
水の中から水面に見えるのは空の果て。。
"From inside the water, I look up towards the surface,
There I can see, the limits of the sky."
I always come back to this.
Yo también! :)
Same, igual yo. Regreso después de tres años de no escucharla.
Cada año, desde hace tanto que no puedo recordar.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: This is the best version of this song.
Still brings tears to my eyes, all these years later

I feel like I can be friend with those guys
What an incredible artist. Saw more of his live performances, it's truly astonishing!
i'm so glad i clicked on this
shugo's music always resonates with me even though I have not the slightest clue of what he's saying. he's so intriguing.
everything was so calm. and beautiful. oh shugo..
Purely amazing. I know a small fraction of Japanese but I know enough to understand he is singing about nature in some way. I absolutely love bands like this, and I think i just found one of my new favorites.
There is nothing that soothes me more than this.
Love the tone of his guitar. Damn.
This song makes me feel so tranquil (:
It's amazing. It makes me almost crying. And I don't know what this is about. It's just beautiful . A saw a colour of voice. And it is rainbow.
Just beautiful, every thing he touches and plays is magical and out of this world
:)
i was at his concert yesterday, it was so cool!
He's amazing.
so beautiful
Was just listening to Port Entropy for the first time and thought, man, his music would be perfect for a take away show
that's why i love japan so much and want to be there right now !
I love A Take Away Show's cinematography almost as much as their music.
Haha, the Japanese guy at the end, "I love camera."
The album recording is amazing but it misses the magic captured in this one
It makes me sad for the world that anyone would dislike this.
Beautiful
Wow, what a voice! Great guitar melodies as well.
This is beatiful!! Thanks to Shugo and A Black XS Live Sound!! AWESOME JOB guys!
This warms my heart
This is incredibly good.
I miss Japan soooooo much...!
this is essential
dang this is a really pretty song.
Good stuff. I have the album on the way from Japan. (can't wait >_
Him and this song are so bloody endearing!
I wish I knew what he was saying though!! I'm sure it was beautiful though lol
I really enjoy la Blogotheque. Good to see Japan getting involved. It's a shame they're not on skateboards. I could really dig that. If not how about roller-skates?

Oh man I love Shimokitazawa station.

@OneBigMyoma I do not know of one. I looked around to try and see if someone had done a better translation than mine, but didn't stumble on anything.
Great! :D
Excellent cinematography! What camera was used in shooting this video?
I like this version better than the album one :)
6/14/2022

la música ya implica un espacio como la calle
I just saw a Tenniscoats video that is VERY similar to this!
Que cosa tan bonita acabo de descubrir hoy
@WHareRabbit Do you know where I can find translations for the lyrics to the rest of the songs on Port Entropy?
Does anyone knows the lyrics of the song? I love it but I don't have any idea what is about
When will it be my turn to live in Japan at a permanent magic hour? :(
3:30, she has the cutest romper eva!
could someone contribute/post the entire lyrics?
Could you include an mp3 file so that I may download this and listen to it wherever I am? I would even pay for it.
Does anyone know what kind of guitar he's playing in this video?
itunes?
that's how I always thought of him! Do you think he's secretly in Fuck on the Beach?
