I looked here because of the song, but this was a lovely experience throughout. Many thanks. Just subscribed. Take care. Raymondo.

This is so cool! Thank you for creating this. I will use this as a resource in my language study.

I love this song.its so bitterly sweet

Hey! Can you please teach us how to learn Japanese with Ashite? Thank you!

Thank you for this beautiful explanation of this song which I did not understand before, heard it poignantly in old movies not knowing the name of this piece..

Can you introduce us the song named Kitaguni no haru?

But if some of those lyrics maybe meaningless, then why could there be real Japanese characters to the pronunciation

Thank you for this, this was my grandma's favorite song and i played it for her all the time. I can see why she loved it. Its nice to play this when I need to be with her spirit. It fills me with warmth but also a deep longing, and that seems to go along with the song itself. Interesting how life seems to imitate art. どうもありがとうございます。

The tears remain, but happily

歌の内容説明のやり方が大好きです。ありがとうございます。

I would sing this song when I was learning the Japanese language. I was moved to tears when it experienced a renewed interest among Japanese people following the 1995 and 2011 devastating earthquakes.

Thank you for the in depth literary explanation. This song brings fond memory of growing up. There is so much sincerity from the singer and his genuine smile makes this song evergreen😊 Best way to learn language ❤

Didn't Rokusuke Ei write the lyrics after disappointment from a protest demonstration?

I remember when his song came out, and have been unable to sing it ever since... until now. Domo, neh? mahalo from Hawaii

❤love this song a lotttttt

I had this song on an album from Walt Disney Vienna boys choir sings international songs. Sukiyaki was easier to sing badly with the wrong pronunciation. Thank you for making me work harder, so hopefully it sounds right in Japanese. A. Hope

どうもありがとうございます

This video is amazing. There’s so much depth to this song that I didn’t know it had. Been listened to it for over 40 years since I was a kid and only now got some sense of how much depth it actually holds. Thank you ❤

So this song is actually about Rika Akana's feelings for Nagao Kanji, not the other way around. Am I right?

Thank you for the wonderful research and video! ❤

Thank you! I love this song and the tv drama

Thank you so much this was helpful

I have a question. Within 2:54 What do the particles のも mean within this lyric of the song?

Thank you so much for playing and explaining this song. More than 30 years ago, I learned this song in my Japanese class in college. I did not fully understand it, but I felt in love with its melody and sentiment. Now, after your explanation, I love it even more! Thanks!

I loved it!! This song it's been in my head since last year that I spent two months in Japan, mainly in Tokyo. Reading lots of Murakami and made me in some way a lot of false nostalgia from the 80s over there. I was looking for the lyrics and explanation and I love yours. Thanks heaps!!

Thank you for this explanation of the song. I am learning Japanese and your videos that break down the song line by line makes studying easier.

Thank you for this explanation of this song lyrics. It is also a beautiful melody making it one of my favorite songs even though I do not speak any Japanese.

Master piece 🎉

WAY back in 1984, I bought the vinyl record of "Tokyo Tapes" by the German band Scorpions. I really love all the songs on that album, but their rendition of Kojo No Tsuki captured my mind. I have loved Kojo No Tsuki ever since. Obviously just their version, but of many versions, and I LOVE the version you picked to help teach the language.

My elementary school choir (I'm the teacher) sang this beautiful song for our fall festival. My students really loved it.

Arigatou gozaimasu! 😊

Thanks for your hard work! Great explanations!

Amé, mil gracias! ❤

Awesome job! TY!

Thank you sooooo muchhhh❤❤

Appreciated. I have been listening to this song for so many years. Today, I understood the background in depth through your introduction. Thanks so much.

I was living in Japan when this came out!

Love this! Thank you!

I love the concept, learning and singing your favorite Japanese song at the same time❤

Just now discovering Japanese songs. Sincerely cultural songs should stay to it's original form. The unique richness of tradition and culture comes through and is more valuable.

wow, this will be very helpful for my Japanese trip!!! yay!

曲の解釈をしていただきありがとうございます。 とても美しい歌なので、それを聞いて日本語を学ぶのはとても楽しいです。

This is amazing video on learning the literal Japanese translation and learning a bit of the history. Love this song!

This is a wonderful song. I learned to sing it in Japan back in the seventies. I hope you will enjoy my cover of Kyu Sakamoto’s classic (despite my Aussie/English accent)! th-cam.com/video/0ujkg2uRM64/w-d-xo.htmlsi=75weya3oGPOLo09t

Hi. I literally cried while you explained. I didnt realized this song had such a simple yet deep meaning. I felt nostalgic for something i've never experienced in my life. Thank you so much. Keep making videos ❤❤❤

Wow this is great!

I really enjoy the didactics of these videos,　ありがとうございました！

I like the song やさしさに包まれたなら by the same singer in the same movie. I even found a duet version with 横山剣.

Great! Thanks for this explanation I'm latino and speak spanish, but can undertand your video with ny poor english 🙌🏼
