His music has eastern mysticism in it often fused with themes of technology and current society, the lyrics too are like riddles containing beautiful imagery. I felt listening to his songs have deepened my wisdom as well 🙏
This song is insane. The specific mood that all of his music encompasses... If everyone and everything in the world felt like this 24/7 it would be perfect.
I love this song, easily among my top 10 favorite Hirasawa songs. I suppose it's a very loose allegory that could be applied to anything - and that's the beauty of it - but personally, from the moment I heard it, the song always seemed to speak to me about achieving a seemingly impossible task that forces you into the depths of hopelessness. If there's a will, there's a way, and that includes a way to recovery. Hirasawa is one of the few things that can truly inspire hope in me when I feel my absolute worst. I feel like I could climb my own mountains when I hear this enchanting melody.
You are absolutely right. It seems like everytime I am facing a very daunting task I find myself subconsciously going to hirasawa's work- if music is an extension of the soul, his work reflects that
It's far beyond obvious how I got here, but I will definitely keep lurking for these great tracks. Even if not berserk related he has some fantastic music, I am frankly very blown away by his quality and dynamic pieces. Since I'm fairly new to his music, feel free to suggest and must listen to tracks.
Thank you so much Bill, I had no idea someone would just go far enough as to lay down an analysis of his music style. Appreciate it, I'm still looking into Hirasawa's work up until this day.
+zealotscout Paprika, Ride the Limbo, Mother, Stillborn City, Rubedo, Echoes, Strange night of the Omnifesence, Initial Value of Midair, Switch-on Lotus, Sim City, Nigredo, Phonon Belt, Mother, Haishi Daiku, Eurasia 21, Water Out of Space and Time... These are just some of my favorites. There are probably even more out there that are just waiting to be discovered.
The lyrics: The flowers were sown by the tens of thousands above the path you tread As if dead, you closed your eyes and called out from afar The love-like day arrives with superhuman strength The tens of thousands of lightning bolts that bridge the streets, soaring skyward, are the singing voices of Golden silence that dwell within the stones They beckon the love-like day with superhuman strength Standing at the riverside, warm yourself by burning hopeless days to the sound of the Master’s Ancient City that calls you far off in the distance The love-like day arrives with superhuman strength
The lyrics makes me associate it with concepts of computer sciences, like emergent computing and ant colony algorithm. The love-like days started with Ada Lovelace, then we have electronics, with electrons being the Golden Silence conducting signals through wires, among the semi-conducting rocks.
The worst part is that the only time he toured outside of Japan was in Thailand, as he made 3 concerts in Bangkok (most likely because Thailand is one of his biggest influences in some of his albums, he even recorded some of his songs in Bangkok). EDIT: And Malaysia, too.
Fitting ost imo for when Schierke enters the Astral world, be it to get Guts out of his berserking madness, or to reach out to the ethereal spirits in time
It is ok if you can not understand what he is saying, even native Japanese speakers have trouble figuring out what Susumu is saying. Most of his lyrics sounds like poetry heavy with metaphor. He also has a habit of using very old words and he has almost been known to make up words. I have shown the lyrics books to some friends from Japan and they can't figure it out.
(2) Straddling the city, and erupting ten thousands lightning are Singing voice of the golden silence living in a stone. The day like love, I invite it by herculean strength.
It's so embarrassing going back to posts on a forum or comments on a video that are more than a few years old... Like... Did I really post something like that? Berserk introduced me to Susumu Hirasawa for the first time. It's kinda sad that he didn't get the OP and ED for Berserk, too. The original OP and ED were... Ehm.... Not very fitting to say the least. Berserk changed my entire manga habits, the Eclipse was so shocking. I love Berserk with every fiber of my body.
(1) Flowers were sprinkled, ten thousands. On the road you're going. Closing eyes like nobody, I called from the place far in the distance. The day like love is coming by herculean strength.
I really like both versions of the album tracks. But I sort of feel inclined towards the original version of MOST of the track, simply because it was what I heard first. Sometimes I do like version two of tracks more than version one, like with Rocket Shoot and Love Song, but not here.
A long time ago there was an awesome live version of this on you tube. The guitar solo was so good, and it was shot quite professionally, at least, more so than the current live version i can find. Anybody know what i'm talking about, and where i might find it?
@Mokurentate lol it was from his official website that I ordered the cd from. Maybe like 3 years ago. I ordered a cd recently and there was no candy this time. :'(
This is peak music. I really hope he continues making music because theres no one else who can recreate this kind of style. Also rest in peace miura.
He's been teasing his new album "Ignition" for years now, silly
@@卵-n6e I appreciate you telling me, I had no clue.
He just announced his second guitar album, the book of phytoelectron

花は蒔かれた何万も キミの行く道の上
無き者のように目を閉じて呼びかけた遥かから
愛のような日が怪力で来る
街をまたいで吹きあがる何万の電光は
石くれに住む黄金の沈黙の歌い声
愛のような日を怪力で招く
川沿いに立ち断念の日を焼いて暖を取れ
遥か遠くで達人のキミを呼ぶ琴の音に
愛のような日が怪力で来る
ありがとうございます
Yes.
✨🍜✨
I actually bought the album from his website. It was well worth it, AND HE GAVE ME CANDY!!!!!!!

World Cell is a great one!
Check out "World Cell" and "Niwashi King"
Thanks i already have niwashi king and its freaking great.

間奏の波が押し寄せるような演奏と、郷愁を誘う歌声に、胸が痛くなります。
この曲聴いて明らかに何かに目覚めたのを覚えてる…
論理空軍やBigBrotherで、電子音気持ちいい~、世界タービンでヤベぇ人だなwwが、この曲聴いて狂ったとは別の意味で真面目にヤベぇ人だと思った。

The lyrics:
The flowers were sown by the tens of thousands above the path you tread
As if dead, you closed your eyes and called out from afar
The love-like day arrives with superhuman strength
The tens of thousands of lightning bolts that bridge the streets, soaring skyward,
are the singing voices of Golden silence that dwell within the stones
They beckon the love-like day with superhuman strength
Standing at the riverside, warm yourself by burning hopeless days
to the sound of the Master’s Ancient City that calls you far off in the distance
The love-like day arrives with superhuman strength
Thank you!
not Ancient city,it's stringed instrument(like harp).
古都（koto）: ancient city
琴（koto）: East Asia's stringed instrument
TheFuryLivesOn
無き者のように:not ''as if dead'', it's ''as if you are nonexistent''
"silence of the gold that dwell within the stones"
遥か遠くで達人のキミを、呼ぶ琴の音に
遥か遠くで達人の、キミを呼ぶ琴の音に
点の位置で意味が変わる(ヒラサワは後者かも)
琴の音で達人のキミを呼ぶのか、達人の琴の音でキミを呼ぶのか。
"達人のキミ"を呼んでいるのか
"達人"が"キミ"を呼んでいるのか
平沢は基本的に「キミ」への呼びかけとして歌を作ってる気がするから、確かに後者な気はする
初陣ピコピコで既に好き
てか毎度の如く間奏かこよい
I can hear the King Crimson inspiration shining through in the guitar solo... THIS GUY IS A GODSEND!!!
Чудесная песня и музыка !!!
地味ながらイントロは回収船に匹敵する程の神がかり様だと思う
In love with this song.
The beauty of this song is entrancing.
The atmosphere of this song is unmatched
The lyrics makes me associate it with concepts of computer sciences, like emergent computing and ant colony algorithm. The love-like days started with Ada Lovelace, then we have electronics, with electrons being the Golden Silence conducting signals through wires, among the semi-conducting rocks.
Fragile connections. Subdued bliss or some kind of sadness.
師匠の曲の中で1番大好き
amazing song
1:37 - 1:52 Favorite part
2:56 - 3:13 Second favorite part
イントロを聴いただけで一気に引き込ずりこまれる
Got this on repeat live this guy music I wander what the relationship is like between him and kentaro miura
what's up me
As usual, the lyrics seem pretty incomprehensible to me. As usual, it's too magical for me to care
many times is just made up words to serve as music
This song was rearranged in Millennium Actress, it's called “Vertical Storm.”
This is the best song ever.
If only he toured in North America （ーー；）
The worst part is that the only time he toured outside of Japan was in Thailand, as he made 3 concerts in Bangkok (most likely because Thailand is one of his biggest influences in some of his albums, he even recorded some of his songs in Bangkok).
EDIT: And Malaysia, too.
@@netako in Vietnam too, with Byakkoya album that inspired when he traveled the White Tiger oil field
川沿いに立ち断念の日を焼いて暖をとれ・・・日本語だからできる事です。歌詞音楽共に凄い。

i'm in love with this song!
He is GOD man
I never get tired of listening to this song. So many textures and variances in the music. 'Expertly' put together. He truly is a genius.
how did I forget this one
Fitting ost imo for when Schierke enters the Astral world, be it to get Guts out of his berserking madness, or to reach out to the ethereal spirits in time
I love exotic Japanese music like this susumu hirasawa is a complete genius
One of my favourites.
Thank you for everything Kentaro Miura
Trully piece of art , the best song and tune i have ever listen to , thank you susumu hirasawa ❤️

Thank you SO much for sharing such a beautiful song. TAT
I love it , I have so much memory with this
I love his music, not every song, but what a talent.
この曲を聴いた人間に諦めは似つかわしくないな
I love that erhu at 1:37.
The guitar solo feels reminiscent to me of "The Night Watch" from King Crimson.

A long time ago there was an awesome live version of this on you tube. The guitar solo was so good, and it was shot quite professionally, at least, more so than the current live version i can find. Anybody know what i'm talking about, and where i might find it?
watch?v=FdYwdcpD6ag
Yeah :/ that's the one that's not as good. There was a way better one. It's vanished :(
Archive?
Vimeo?
maybe the wayback machine could help?
did anyone ever find it
Berserk... Thank you Miura, thank you Susumu Hirasawa.
What happened to the other live performance video? I preferred the video and audio on that one. Can someone bring it back?
