this is my absolute favorite rendition of this song ever, no matter how many years pass by i always always always come back to this video and your performance... thank you for all the emotion you inspire with this video xx
This is exactly how I feel. Every year for over 9 years now I come back to this and listen for hours. For some reason, this version tops every other for me by a great margin.
Qualityy cover, amazing clear and crisp sound. Love it, keep up the great work. As fall and winter season is coming, this song just feels so good to listen too
Beautiful rendition. I hope you get to attempt the trio version one day, with some fellow musicians. It's... so serene. This recording was superb, I will keep an eye on your channel. Merry christmas
"BRAVO!!!" i'd shout out if i were there watching u playing, wow quite preciseness u've got there, magnificent performance, it was so pleasuring to listen to it. Greeting From Mongolia :)
Actually I passed by to get some ideas for left hand voicings, as I'm working on that tune quite intensely at the moment. Couldn't concentrate on techniques though while listening to your interpretation :-D Very beautifully played, David West!
Beautiful playing, sound and versioning. BTW, I'm struggling to find the score for this version (which is quite similar to the one played by Ryuichi). Any suggestions?
I'm trying to cover your music at 1years, but I can't make plentiful harmony like you. I'm really curious about left hands score. would you please send to me your score?
thank you and RIP Prof.
I close my eyes...and it's the Maestro playing his piano again.
ありがとう

Thank you! I wish it was mine too ;)
great! from Japan^_^
Haha! Du är för go du, Viggo! :)
Did you arrange this by ear? If so, this was outrageous! It's so similar or maybe identical to the original!
+Fapasaurus Rex Thank you! I learned it by ear, yes. Arrangement wise it's pretty close to how Mr Sakamoto himself plays it.
@Modecaster Thank you for that extremely wonderful comment!
Hey David can you upload a download link for your version of this song it sounds so nice and peaceful, makes me want to go to sleep haha!.
@tannahwa Thank you :)
I hope this song can be played on Spotify again!
I know!! If anything, it’s one of the few songs that deserves to permanently stay up
Yes it can! It's all back on Spotify.
@davidhopperman Hey bro! Thanks man! :)
beautiful... amazing..... I just love the way U play. What a talent!!!! check my own version of this song...
Beautiful playing, sound and versioning. BTW, I'm struggling to find the score for this version (which is quite similar to the one played by Ryuichi). Any suggestions?
A little fast but so beautiful!!! ,Thank you from Japan.
@soorb77 Tack återigen! :)
I'm trying to cover your music at 1years, but I can't make plentiful harmony like you. I'm really curious about left hands score. would you please send to me your score?
why I can’t find this music on Spotify anymore
You can now. it's back on Spotify :) Thank you.
let's do a Forbidden Colors cover together - I sing...
A beautiful rendition. For me, Salkamoto's theme is a commentary on the absolute pity of war. The pointless waste of it all.
Beautiful! Where can I buy this arrangement?
I played it by ear but it stays somewhat close to one of Mr. Sakamoto's own arrangements but I can't remember which one.
