HISTORY:
Fishmans is a Japanese band formed in Minato, Tokyo that initially had their run from 1987 to 1999 but later reunited in 2005. The band consisted of Shinji Sato for vocals and guitar, Kin-ichi Motegi on drums, sampler, and backing vocals, Hakase-Sun on keyboard (from 1990 to 1995), Kensuke Ojima for guitar and backing vocals (from 1987 to 1994), and Yuzuru Kashiwabara on bass. Supporting members included Michio "Darts" Sekiguchi on guitar, Honzi on keyboards (after Hakase-Sun left), ZAK (on the production side of things), and Shinya Kogure on guitar. Long Season is Fishmans' 6th studio album and the second in their triple album run with Polydor Records released in October of 1996. It consists of one 35 minute track split into 5 parts. It initially remained relatively obscure (except for being pretty successful in the Japanese alternative scene) in the mid 90s until the mid to late 2010s when it started to gain recognition on the internet. It is now considered by many to be one of the best albums of all time. The album was also performed in its entirety by the band on their last concert which took place at 赤坂BLITZ on December 28th of 1998. This performance along with their others on that concert would later become part of their live album titled 98.12.28 男達の別れ. This 41 minute version of Long Season would become very well-received with a lot of people considering it to be better than the studio version.
MY PERSPECTIVE:
I'd like to say without a doubt that Long Season is my favorite song of all time (it's technically one track lol) with how absolutely beautiful and nostalgic it sounds to the point where it sometimes brings me to tears. I personally like the studio AND live versions the same; they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Then that gave me an idea; how about I remix the ENTIRE song by searching for and combining both of the strengths that studio AND live versions have, and seamlessly put them together to create the best mix of Long Season anyone could possibly make. So with my production skills, I did exactly that.
TLDR: This video is a definitive mix of Long Season by Fishmans that combines both the strengths of the studio and live versions of the song together into one seamless mix.
DIFFERENCES:

May Shinji Sato and Honzi rest in peace.
The audio in this video is currently pretty compressed and low quality due to the video editing software I exported this from, so I uploaded this with all of the artwork along with some additional metadata. You can download it for free here: archive.org/details/fishmans-long-season-definitive-mix

Is it out in Internet Archive now?
@@S4PHIR0I see the website is back online, however users are not allowed to log in yet for some reason, so we'll still have to wait as of now, sorry
@@beaniebloob2009 are there any other ways that I can get the file? I need this so I can: 1. add it to my fishmans collection and 2. use it as a backing track for my band whenever we perform.
It's alright if there's no other way, I can wait.
@@S4PHIR0when I get back from school I'll make a Google drive link for the time being 👍
@@beaniebloob2009could I get a link too 👀👀
Studio version, Live version and Your version, all of them are perfection.
thank you lol, I got recommended by someone on the Fishmans discord that the definitive mix was the studio version in the left ear and the live in the right ear and I was like, why not both? 💀
@@beaniebloob2009 Left ear studio version and right ear live version is crazy
