PofW_Feathers Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) I'm not an anime fan, so I have not watched this movie, but I know this song. I have sometimes listened to this song since first hearing the original in 1968. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence or an intentional selection. The younger brother of the lyricist (Hachiro Sato) died in the same prefecture in 1945. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6hEjB6pt-E Here are the trailers with this song. for the U.K. members for the German members https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xm0rU7YVtI for the French members https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVjk5MR_0OM If you are an anime fan, it might worth watching. According to the reviews and the director's statement, 1) This is not a war movie, but Suzu's day by day life (story?). 2) It is not nearly as depressing as "Grave of the Fireflies". Someone wrote "So Grave of the Fireflies vol.2? My feels aren't ready." I know very well the two movies that I referred to often cause endless barren argument. If you want to, please go away and start making an argument at an appropriate place, because the tittle of this thread is "What are you listening to right now?" Personally, living in the Far East and considering the recent situation, I plead for resolution of "nobody of both sides chooses the worst option (Oppenheimer's deadly toy)". One more song, Again I'm not an anime fan, so I never watched, and will never watch the anime he is showing. But I think his translation is the best one. I guess it could be achieved by his background. This is a most ironic military song. Someone wrote: “Such a cheerfull song untill you translate the bloody lyrics, j........” At another site: “The happiest song about dieing in the snow i've ever heard?” In fact, this song was modified as the original was sissie, and then both were banned during WW2. At the very end of the lyrics in the modified version, the subject was replaced the military with the soldier (lyricist) himself. In my opinion, this song (at least the lyrics) is an antiwar song. The guy in this video is singing the original. I know some Westerners (including anime fans with innocent feelings) like this song. I wonder if they really understand the meaning of this song. I suspect they are singing the modified version in the anime he is showing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2656D8gv5Co Edited March 3, 2018 by PofW_Feathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PofW_Feathers Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 These pseudo Japanese songs were composed by two Belgian guys. Whether good or bad, I didn't know this album in 1971. People say "weird, ridiculous, crazy, bizarre, odd, strange, gibberish..." Probably it was an experimental project. The screaming guy in the first track, I can catch the half of his talk. Musicians may be geniuses at language. 01. Yamasuki This song was played in an American movie that related to Fargo (movie). The related scenes: Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter (I don't watch this movie.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yilhJXnTmts Fargo (movie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15uK_izuKKY You can also watch/have watched the same location in Fargo TV series Season 1 Episode 4 & 6. 07. Yama Yama This song was played in the season 2 episode 3 of Fargo TV series. 11, 02: 11 & 02 have been played as the theme songs on a popular cooking program(farmers' cuisines) with Japanese public broadcasting (NHK)「まんぷく農家メシ」. And 11 was performed in YA-NE-SEN a Go Go (rotoscope animation). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN_62MmQBqQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PofW_Feathers Posted October 24, 2021 Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 I don't know how to display the videos anymore. Several months ago, I referred to this song (movie: a war movie without battle scenes) when I discussed with a friend about the historical issues that are so complicated that Japan has not yet come up with any ideas for solutions. For some reason, I've been listening to this song in mourning for the last two months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnoGiLDGneY Original https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AS_hGzkoQY As you know, on the right is David Bowie. extended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDyERx4xsaU The left half of the body is David Bowie. Piano version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4LFWP9GZVc Ryuichi Sakamoto himself is playing the piano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
