This is the only live video of Makoto? Depressing.. One of my favorite funk musicians.... wish I could find First Light on vinyl. Would fly to Japan just to see Makoto live!
Love was really gone.. And this music is gone too. Why.. I don't get it. I can't stand it. In America, I can't turn on the radio. I can't visit the grocery store. I can't go to a bar. I can't live without drama and hatred.
@@thenoobletlego There used to be videos of some AB's concerts from 1981/1982 on UA-cam, with Makoto in them. Sounded great. Still have them on my hard disk, somewhere.
I was converted of Tatsuro Yamashita's stardom to Makoto Matsushita's simplicity. You don't need to have outstanding vocals to be a great singer. I believe Matsushita is nearer the "wabi-sabi" concept. He is simple; that's why I started to love his oeuvres.
Listened to this song one day in 2014 while digging for random music on youtube. I still remember the feeling of listening to it for the first time .. if only I could go back to the moment 🥹 I've listened to so much "city pop" since then but this song and the whole First Light album will be my absolute favorites. 松下さんありがとう 🙏
I found it on a random Spotify suggested playlist and just absolutely fell in love with the whole First Light album. It’s so crazy to me that I found an album that came out before my dad was even born and it became one of my favorites.
Why am I so late to the party ? I only discovered this song this week. Sheer smoothness. Hearing him live really highlights what amazing musicality he has (vocally, especially). Amazing !
The most recent thing I could find about him is that he's in a group called AB's. If you search 'AB's LIVE Into the Light' you can find a video from 2007, Makoto is the guitarist with the long hair. Hope that helps!
Noctis Altura the contemporary jazz guitarists worldwide kinda died down past the 2000s. Norman brown, Benson, etc. They still perform and make music as far as I know, they just ain't in the limelight
@@dylanr.cerezo4325 damn…that’s kinda sad he’s a good singer don’t mean to make that deep but I think contemporary jazz could make a comeback I love aesthetics like this! 😖💜
hell fucking yeah didn't think there were any live videos of this legend, first light is probably my favourite city pop album yet i can't find anything about this guy and what a nice comment section!! i want to meet all of you people

This is the only live video of Makoto?
Depressing..
One of my favorite funk musicians.... wish I could find First Light on vinyl.
Would fly to Japan just to see Makoto live!
search for first light on discogs.com it's there
I agree with you. He is so underrated... his works are classic
I feel you dog
Love was really gone..
And this music is gone too.
Why.. I don't get it.
I can't stand it.

He is my favorite citypop singer
No lie
He makes beautiful works of art
Instrumentally and vocally he is magnificent

@@henriquesiontatsuro really is overrated. I think Hideki Saijo, Hiromi Go, and Kiyotaka Sugiyama are way better.
@@Connor-ll7ii Kiyotaka Sugiyama, Yoshino Fujimal, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Hiroshi Sato. A lot of singers that surpasses or are on par with Yamashita.
He's my favorite too 😍
@@MaigenZamora
4 years later. I still stand with this statement. More ppl prefer tatsuro yamashita tho.
His diction of English lyrics is so wonderful!

それな！
That bass run at around 4:23 is insane
Why am I so late to the party ? I only discovered this song this week. Sheer smoothness. Hearing him live really highlights what amazing musicality he has (vocally, especially). Amazing !
Same. I just found him too. Sad I wasn’t around during to appreciate it during his prime.
This song showed up on my Spotify a few months ago...around the time I had a really good friend move away. Gives me chills!
a literal masterpiece
kinda depressing music like this is not made anymore
@@zay3hunnid347 it is!! You just need to keep looking! :)
@@ThePopo789123 could you recommend me some
@@jisun2695not totally the same but Thundercat, Joji, and Tame Impala are newer artists with a similar feel, all awesome in their own way
@@jisun2695 ginger root, literal modern city pop
OMG,he was so handsome when he was young.
He is my favorite citypop singer.
海外の方の反応が凄い！
80年代アレンジ、ギャー
コーラスが最高でした！
当時アルバムはあまり売れていなかったですね、時代が早すぎたのでしょうね
Oh to be part of the crowd,, vibing along to this masterpiece
😢yes
Grateful to life for allowing me to hear the voice of this man
painfully underrated. was hoping he has more live videos 😢
This was performed July 1st, 1982
Makoto is a genius
What an amazing song. Absolutely breath taking
Ah, the glorious days of the 80s
hopefully no carti fans find this lol
hehe

Too late carti fans bout to sample the shit out of retro j pop now💀😭
Already late

お客さん『まことー！』

Hermano su voz suena igual a la versión de estudio, que maldito genio
the minute I saw this I teared up a little
일본! 지금이라도 늦지않았어. 다시 이때로 돌아가자! 멜로디 진짜 눈물나도록 좋다....
공감~~
I really enjoy listening to the live version!! I actually kinda like it a bit more than the studio version :3

Love Was Really Gone Makoto Matsushita
(Lyrics: Makoto Matsushita, Judy Anton, Music Composed,Arranged by Makoto Matsushita)
From 1st album “MAKOTO MATSUSHITA / FIRST LIGHT” (1981)
Released on September 21, 1981
Produced by Makoto Matsushita & Toshio Oguri.
All tracks Composed, Arranged by Makoto Matsushita
Lyrics
We tried to make our love a place we belong
To stay together all the way
Your love would seem to be the cause of my tone
We never really knew the changes
Love could take us through
All the way
I know how much you tried
All the same
You never stayed to see its ending
You always wanted to take more of me than I own
But what I’ve got I gave to you
I don’t know what to make of where we went wrong
We played with time
How long could such a foolish game go on?
Can’t you see
I’m trying to get through
Can’t you feel
My heart is ready to be parted
(Hey)
Love was really gone
Love was really gone
Oh, am I gettin' trou?
(Hey)
Love was really gone
Love was really gone
Oh, my think of where your heart is
I'll be searching
Love is shining
I will come through
To be with you
We tried to make our love a place we belong
To stay together all the way
Your love would seem to be the cause of my tone
We never really knew the changes
Love could take us through
Can’t you see
I’m trying to get through
Can’t you feel
My heart is ready to be parted
(Hey)
Love was really gone
Love was really gone
(Hey)
Love was really gone
Love was really gone
(Hey)
Love was really gone
Love was really gone

Infelizmente a qualidade da gravação não é mt boa mais nota-se a qualidade na composição instrumental dessa obra. Makoto deveria ser mais valorizado.
Concordo, meu amigo com bom gosto musical.

Formidable
