the most underrated comment of 2020
meanwhile for me it's just normal, in japan and other asian countries when you're remotely sick you're told to wear a mask, out of respect for others around you. this is also because of the cramped nature of modern japanese streets and trains, where a lot of people are huddled around
i think the same lol 3 years ahead
pretending like masks didnt exist pre covid is stupid p
Watch this video for +10 serotonin.
I love your stuff man! Hope you are doing well :)
Good to see you here G
Somebody
I’m on drugs rn :(
”Translate all the colors that i cant see” sounds even better when you are colorblind, just like me.
Agreed. It's like when my partner doesn't understand how I could be so depressed when the world is full of such bright vibrant colors, that I can't see. Puts into perspective why then go off'd himself being color-blind as well
this sounds poetic asf ngl
"My instincts are the enemyyyyyyy"
I can sing that chorus all day, this is a song that really touches the heart.
I wonder if, 3 years ago, anyone would have guessed that AF would reunite, make news songs AND have videos with japanese people cooking and playing bowling.
Théophile Richart they can rebrand themselves as japanese bowling
ahahah that's hilarious
Bowling For Miso Soup
I called it
Théophile Richart affect
This city is Matsumoto, Nagano Pref., Japan and my hometown.
hmm. The sister city to Salt Lake City, Utah, where I am now
The town definitely has a Midwest American vibe
@@ashigaramii__ Not at all, it’s incredibly japanese. It just has a bowling alley.
@@Paige-1312 k
It looks wonderful
This is amazing because the majority of Japanese indie rock is in the style of American Football. Great video
davesv123 this is my first time listening to this and the guitars reminded me of toe :)
I like some japanese bands, like One Ok Rock and Radwimps. Could you tell me similar bands, please?
The pillows, 324, Melt banana, Boris, 9mm parabellum bullet
Arthur Tayt-Sohn Caroline rocks!
Japan has a lot of amazing bands. I watch a lot of indie shows here in Tokyo.
Some bands I would highly recommend are "Indigo La End" and "ART-SCHOOL".
If you're into shoegazing/dream-pop then check out "Kinoko Teikoku". They're pretty amazing.
i wish japan was a real place
ummmmm uh huh
me too bud
It is! (: Let's go my guy!
Boy, have I got news for you
It's so impossible just to visit that you start to think it doesn't even exists. It always seems like everyone can do what I can't.
The old japanese man who got that strike is my spirit animal.
Thats racist
Koettnylle nope.
Koettnylle I hope that you're joking
Awesome video, good job Chris Strong. For those who don't know, it's the same guy who took the picture of the AF house
Chris is amazing
YOOOOOOOOO
@@musicbyarwin_ YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
listening to this band when you are depressed is so fucking different than when youre not. Idk how to explain it. But I'd relate it to watering plants when they are first planted, compared to when they are first starting to grow and bloom. At first I was just excited and didn't know what to expect, but now that I've seen the beauty of it, it's not more of a chore to me to water them every day, it just feels... right. I'm going through such a hard time in my life right now, but listening to them just feels... right.
i understand you m8, keep up, everything will be fine
wait, you've been not depressed? what is that like?
hope you’ve been doing alright recently man
We arent living in a normal world anymore. And I agree that discovering this band was an amazing things. There are many awesome bands but this one definitely is special and makes you think of many deep canyons of the soul. I hope you have started to feel a little more whole my friend..
I hope everything gets better for you.
A Japanese exchange student lives in a sleepy, rural Midwestern town in America, all the while his friends and family live out their lives in Japan. At 3:55 you can tell that he takes solace in his situation as he thinks of them.
what are you talking about the man drinking with the view?
Niko menicou Yep
@@georgeleslie7307 haha i'm in a very similar situation, am actually going home for summar holiday in about two weeks! can't wait to see my family
"days are nights, and nights are unbearable" aaaaa :( the feels
This video makes me want to stay alive
The post emo existential survivalist.
luccamazza77 I want you to stay alive. I hope you’re alive.
I'm not suicidal folks, but thanks for the concern. It was just a positive comment!
I really like the colors and just overall shots of every scene in this. The city lights, the night scenes, the evening scenes, all of it. It really compliments the song.
The girl was way ahead of her time. She was already living in 2020 3 years ago.

OMG I knew someone was going to say this
Westerners: saw asians wearing face mask (which is common in asia) in an old video

how white and american are you
@@cuongdiep7867 haha chuẩn
I love how their voices have matured like fine wine
the vibe this band brings is unreal, I can listen to this all dayyy long and all night.
JAPANESE FOOTBALL
Lol, you win!
Abdallakh Chinese?
Japane
sefootball?
Chinese Football deserve more recognition
+Jake Marvin Super underrated. Their latest EP is killer
100% chances this video will make you a better person
It probably did to many people before me
And still today, it found its way to me, to make me a better person
And I hope it reach more people in the future
I wouldn't assume people who listen to the same music as me are good people. Just isn't that simple.
@@quatricise Lmao
@@quatricisetoo much trauma to still be a good person I guess
This song and video are otherworldly in ways I simply cannot describe. I know they got famous for the first album but I truly think this album is a _complete masterpiece_ spawned after an extra 16 years of talent and raw emotion.
Imagine you stumble upon watching this for the first time and think that American Football is a Japanese band
Exactly what I thought lol
Their drummer plays some amazing ass fills
Keeps it simple too. Great drummer
American Football is one of the few bands that will legit make me tear up listening to them :')
Been listening to this non-stop since it first came out. This is more Owen than the original American Football, but I'm definitely not mad. There's enough different about it and enough similar to create something new that isn't too far from it's roots. Fantastic song and album.
Do you like LP3? I think it's better
It's like Radiohead, but i don't want to die
That's spot on lol, and, also, if despite their changes in aesthetic, RH never left the 90's in heart
Exactly! Like melancholic hopeful
the 2nd half of this song kinda reminds me of "honestly" from their debut album
My Instincts Are The Anime
Seeing that dude make a strike in bowling made me smile so big
一週間働き抜いて、飲み会帰りに郊外へ帰るときに聞くこの曲。俺のためにあるんじゃないかと思ってしまうほどに染みる🍶
metyakucha awesome!!
My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I’ve damaged good inside of me
I need you
Translate all the colors that I can’t see
I think I’m in trouble
You explain why all the reds look green to me
With my nerves exposed, I can’t say no
My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I’ve malevolence inside of me
I need you
I wanna taste a little bit of everything
But it gets me in trouble
To fill my plate with the vacant and obscene
With my nerves exposed, I can’t say no
I’m paralyzed, engaged in civil war
What can I do?
Either way, I lose
You lose, too
Days are nights and nights are unbearable
What can I do?
Chained to this mood
You’re chained to me
Keep asking different questions
The same answer I receive
I need you more than ever
Tell me you what you’ve seen
Ty
Not all heroes wear capes. I salute you.
You dropped your crown King
, aku 🎉
just found american football through a melee meme and love all 3 albums, apparently ppl think lp2 is the weakest but idk I feel like all 3 albums are amazing and have so many good songs. this is def one of my favorites off lp2. cant think of many if any bands that can go on a decade and a half hiatus and put out two albums that are just as good as their amazing first album. and love me a good mid-song shift like that. goat track
obsessed with this video. great song immaculate cinematography, thanks to everyone involved.
The time american football had to perfect their individual sounds during their split could possibly be the best thing ever. The production of this is possibly their magnum opus. Now steve lamos is back I cant wait to see what’s to come from them
This is the only post self-titled track that really hits like that for me. Unbelievable feels
The girl in the beginning saw the coronavirus pandemic before than anyone
American football stay home 1999
Yo dude you made my day. At 7 35!
Guess you've not been to Japan hahah
bro people in east asian countries wear face masks in public when they're sick to stop other people getting sick
Thank you. I saw the thumbnail and assumed the video had been updated by idiots or something. What a relief.
memories are pearls.
yo hajime-kun from malegoat reppin' in this vid (now in the band firewood project formed with the frontman of the band husking bee. he also co-owns the ramen place in the vid) ---just some japanese music trivia for those peeps interested.
love it!
How do you know all this stuff?
haha I've lived in Japan for 6 years and I've been deeply involved in the music scene here since before then. hajime is the friendliest dude in jp and any emo band to go there will find this out quickly.
and omg polyvinyl sempai noticed me!
More facts the husking bee frontman did the singing voice of Koyuki in beck Mongolian chop squad anime Random knowledge
When does he appear in the video?? That’s amazing
I am going through very tough times right now but whenever I listen to this song I can have a little rest of that, I really appreciate that
i hope you wil get better soon. I wish I could share a drink with you rn. just alleviate your sadness you are feeling .
@@kentanthonypanta195 Thank you, Kent. I'm actually doing kind of better right now, step by step.
a year later, but i hope everything turned right!! matter fact i hope this year turns out well
This is a nice wink at the huge math rock scene in Japan.
I love this Band! I had the pleasure of seeing them perform this album in Philadelphia right before the pandemic hit in 2018. I had front row seats with a very Good friend who introduced their music to me . Mike Kinsella ( lead) likes to take walks right before the performance and walked right by us in line. we said hey! and he spoke. they are so down to earth. love this band so much. one of favorite songs of all time.
I love how he says translate colours to me , being colour blind myself I have to ask people what colour stuff is and explain why red looks green to me
I either feel genuine happiness or a deep sadness while listening to this song. there is no in between
That polyrhythm at 3:00 was so unexpected
it's just so beautiful every time
I love it. It's also so simple compared to how impactful it is, just the drums playing 2 bars of 3/4 in the space of the guitar's 4/4 bar. It really is genius to me, prime example of proper use of complexity. So many polyrythms way more complex than this don't carry nearly as much meaning to the overall experience.
how have I avoided listening to this band for so fucking long? I am a fool.
so melodic, beautiful start stops and perfect song for the band when you consider all things considered
2:00 s percussion is nice
Coming to this song for peace at a time like this.
First time hearing this song and i cant stop from playing on repeat 🔥
thems polyrythms on the second half have me fuckin banging my head against a desk while creaming my pants and crying at the song at the same time
actually thinkin bout it i'm not sure if it's a polyrythm, you can definitely count the guitar riff as a 3/4 along with the drums and bass, but when it starts by itself it's 100% not how I felt the tempo/time signature, which is why it almost feels like a polyrythm and the subversion of expectations gives it an amazing effect
idk man this song with this music video is just.. perfect, its perfect
God, I love this song so much...
sad dad music at it's best. I've been hurt so much but this music hit's such a soothing spot.
magnificent, i've been waiting for this, greetings from Indonesia!
Dewa Eryadi ada yg dr indonesia hehe
Been listened to them since 99.
been listened to them since majapahit
*I love how they sound like it's still 1999 and keep it Timeless at the same time.*
“I keep asking different questions
Same answers I receive
I need you more than ever
Tell me what you’ve seen.”
These apply perfectly in my life
My favourite American Football song :)
Same here!
Same
wait so theyre not called americ anfootball
Ayy Mac Demarco is my shit nice pfp
That would have been better hahaha
Love Mac Demarcos music and the guitar work of American Football.
No its Americanfeet balls
No its rip off Chinese Football
this song melts my mind, guh. thank you for this album, guys
Keep asking different questions, same answer I recieve. I need you more than ever...to tell me what you see.
The woman in 2:40 is like "dararararaaa im from three years later! 🌻"
i can't believe i missed out on this band during my childhood, love their sound fr
This bands sound and aesthetic is perfection
mike is a genius
The man at 1:36 always gives me a homey wholesome feeling and I don't know why.
The Japanese elderly are wonderful, kind souls. I remember during my trip to Japan our travel group got a little bit lost looking for walking directions to Osaka Castle, when an elderly gentleman did his best to tell us where it was and even walked with us partway. God bless them
My ears won’t stop the gasm. Holy shit I’ve missed this band so much. This song is FIRE.
i love how its synced up
Thinking of the hometown you love and the people you left behind... Perfect for this song.
I like how his singing voice got noticeably better as he went on. Good for him
This band are legendary
Dary
This is the most wholesome music video EVER MADE
Chills man, *chills*
I practically daily play this, it fits so many different moods of mine, such a versatile song.
Fantastic song.
There’s something special about Math rock + Japan
Absolutely incredible that I just found this band, going to check out their discography.
Never to late , get busy listing and make up for lost time 🤘
2:27 saving this for later
FREAKING LOVE MATH ROCK. IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE IM WALKING IN A FIELD OF SUNFLOWERS WITH MY GUITAR STRAPPED ON MY BACK
Goosebumps everytime that i listen to u guys, thanks for making such beautiful Music
This is better than Never Meant
Agree.
This is sooo dope. I did not expect new American Football in my life right now, but it's perfect.
Listened to this once without noticing the title whilst exploring an abandoned building, freaked out af. I later tried finding the song as I enjoyed hearing it, and laughed after seeing the title 🤣
this video is full of hope happiness i wanna cry
American Football acknowledges Japanese rock bands being heavily influenced by them. Majority of Japanese Rock bands contains that twinkly tone(feels) nostalgia you know what i mean.
"Translate all the colors that I can't see."
Very relatable line.
this song gets better with more plays. so much more better.
かっこいい!!
so cool !!
Covid before it was cool
I haven't been able to enjoy this video for over a year and 3 days, I feel like I'm finally getting over my accident. I'll always love American football!!!
Whoever play that guitar.. You're fricking awsome.. Oh my God.. I love you're style of playing..
My first time listening to them. Loving it.
this some wholesome stuff, dawg.
love how the most clicked section is the guy bowling :D
nice to find this good song.
2 in the morning. I can't take it... too emotional... God damn :')
my god. ... this is incredible
Happy Thanksgiving, I’m here sitting alone :)
This song and the music video make me feel nostalgic every time I listen to it.
different than their original album, but phenomenal regardless.
Connor Hauck I was 100% on board until the singing started...straight country radio vocals dawg. First time hearing...wtf . Is it only me who thinks the vocals sound way more conventional and boring?
no idea where you've heard country music that sounds like mikes vocals on this...
Nick Garza nah I completely agree with you. the instrumentation is fantastic but the vocals ruin the entire album for me. it's a shame.
Connor Hauck Yes it's a different album, it obviously sounds different. To all the haters, this album is great. It sounds like American Football. I have no clue as to why anyone would think Mike's vocals sound "country". Christ on a crutch! Enjoy it. We're lucky to have them back.
Todd Michael Johnson I think that's "the haters" point. is that it doesn't sound like American Football. LP 1 had out of the ordinary musical cues and seemingly mathematically crafted tempos and fluid rhythm. LP 1 knew what it was. in multiple instances songs would just play out into repetition and ambience. it didn't need vocals because the emotion was brought through with the instrumentation. LP 2 however is drowned in this country-folk whiney hum which is more Owen than it is American football. throughout the entirety of this album there isn't any chance to let the songs play out, and for these songs to just breathe. not to mention the band openely admitting the only reason they came back was for a monetary benefit they could not turn down. If this album came out under any other name, nobody would have heard it, and nobody would care.
素晴らしい。大好きです。
みーとぅー!
Why am I crying
