FISHMANS: A Man’s Farewell (Short Doc)

This is a college project. I had to make a short documentary and decided I really wanted to do one on my favourite band. A very short documentary, giving a quick rundown of Fishmans career. The main focus is on the final performance, A Man's Farewell.
I'm aware of some mistakes in information, such as stating there was a 2018 cover of Nightcruising (it was a compilation album). Besides these mistakes, I hope you still got something from this video - whether that be seeing some new footage of Fishmans you haven't seen before, or just enjoying the documentary for what it is.
All archive footage and music used for educational purposes.

I attended the same college as the Fishmans' members. I was watching their live performance in real time. I still listen to Fshmans music. ...And I cry.
Its good, isn't it?
GJ, you guys. and thanks.

I’m a Japanese fan, and was 14 yrs old in ‘98. I didn’t know Fishmans until they released re-issue in 2005. They didn’t appear on hit chart in Japan. I can imagine they went through hard time, and I feel wonder they get popular among music lovers around the world nowaday…

[@keithharrop_art]

I came across Fishman's about a year ago. I can't let go of them. Their music suits my every mood.

[@chroma_ky]

long season is one of those things I wish I could listen to for the first time again, amazing video

[@abraxasjinx5207]

That was where I started in discovering them yesterday, and it is a feeling I want to last.

[@BenitoSeleno]

I'm Japanese fan of them. imao the reason why Fishmans acquired their popularity all over the world is that they could be "in the pocket", which is VERY rare case in Japanese music industry. Most bands in Japan cannot get even the gist of the concept of “in the pocket", including city pop. I mean, they can't help but playing downbeats in 1&3 even the song adopts funk or R&B style.
But Fishmans could handle the groove. Their backbeat style music clearly has downbeat in 2&4(e.g. Kansha(odoroki), Weather Report, 100ミリちょっとの). But when it comes to playing reggae, they chaeges the pocket to 1&3. This is very common concept in the world, but 99% japanese people don't realize the concept of the groove whatsoever. What a great band Fishmans is...

[@yunuseren1]

thank you so much for making and publishing this documentary!

[@ABELBUTBETTER]

it feels good to find high quality videos with not a lot of views. it gives me hope that there is actual good content on this hell scape we know as youtube

[@5aturnia]

Make a new TH-cam account. Only like and comment on good things.

[@samuelepperson9938]

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this documentary with the rest of youtube. I started listening to fishmans about a year ago, and never knew he passed on until a few weeks ago. Really changes the way you listen to his last live album and some of his other tunes.

[@LoopGaRoove]

Thank you for this video. I do small photo shoots on holidays and this album is always my go-to when editing. This soundscape puts me in a unique frame of mind... it kind of hurts... and it's beautiful

[@nicktendo69lmao99]

Randomly stumbled across this whilst watching a live performance of Ikareta Baby. I like this mini documentary

[@ShabbadabbaduYT]

I can’t believe this video has under 2000 views, it’s really well made

[@descendingforth]

Just randomly stumbled across this. What a great and informative video. Could'nt find any faults, just one thing to point out is that you Said Uchu NIppon Setagaya was more acclaimed than Long Season. But it seems Long Season is the more acclaimed record at least according to RYM as you mentioned. Overall though class video mate. Could'nt agree with you more about 98.12.28, it truly is a masterpiece. Thanks for spreading the word on the greatness of Fishmans to the world :)

[@leporiddae]

shinji sato didn’t die from heart failure, he committed suicide 😢 which is even more tragic.

[@dertegh]

uhh no?

[@wilhelmvg9978]

That’s nothing more than a rumour. Stop spreading misinformation about dead people please, it’s very disrespectful and offensive.
