I've gained a much greater respect for jazz after having seen this anime. Now whenever I listen to jazz, I think of the wonderful, artistic adventure that this show took me on. Sakamichi no Apollon is definitely my favorite anime of all time, even more so than FMA...although I love them both almost just as much :).
I get you! But since I'm in a jazz band my self (jazz guitar, in some jazz If you listen you can kind of hear the muted sound of a guitar) I've always loved jazz and that's why I love this anime. If you listen to jazz now please I recommend April in Paris by Count Baise or The Miner Goes A-Muggin by Duke Ellington or Corner Pocket by Count Baise!!! Trust me friend!!!!! All of those are great and in this anime they name a lot of jazz legends (i.e John Coletrain, Chet baker) so please get back to me if you can!!
Cat Brum Hey there! Yes! I absolutely loved seeing all of the references to those jazz classics! I was part of a vocal jazz group last semester and we learned to perform some of these :D I will definitely check out those recommendations -- Duke Ellington is amazing!
I'm really happy to hear that, a lot of kids today really don't like jazz. I happy that anime is turning some people to jazz! So I hope you like those recommendations!!!
+MelMuses I would highly recommend you listen to some later stuff, like bebop, hard bop, and post-bop. Ellington, Basie, Goodman, they are all great, and quintessential big band swing, but the charts they play are really just not that complex. Personally, I can't stand fusion, but you might enjoy it.
They're writing songs of love, but not for me, A lucky star's above, but not for me, With love to lead the way, I found more clouds of gray, Than any Russian play could guarantee. I was a fool to fall, and get that way, Hi ho! Alas! And also Lack a day! Although I can't dismiss, The memory of her kiss, I guess she's not for me. It all began so well, but what an end, This is the time a fella needs a friend, When every happy plot, Ends in a marriage knot, And there's no knot for me.
I personally like the atonal bent on the trumpeter's solo, especially considering the rooted association of Avant Garde Jazz with Far-left politics and the Loft sessions which frequently featured young, aspiring College musicians. It leads on a bit more about Jun's character than what was explicitly shown in the anime.
geckowonderful i loved Jun (and Yurika) in the manga. The 60's was a sad time to be a university student in Japan. Jun reminds me a lot of characters in Norwegian Woods.
Damn this show was legit. My favorite part was that the animation of the drummer was actually spot on. That in itself with the simple but moving slice of life story carried some weight for me.
yeah the animation was so perfect, its funny because it was the first anime i watched in my life, and am still listening to it so many years later. also im 4 years late lmao
I very rarely prefer a cover version to the originals. But this version is amazing, and i love it. Original is good. but this i amazing. The slower pacing and his voice just fits so well to the tone of the song.
I have just finished watching Kids on the Slope and I want to cry!!! I love the whole series, it is so warm in the feeling. I miss my friends, and it made me feel a longing for some friends that I never had. The array of the warm spectrum about love, friendship, family, and bromance... It gave me the same post feeling, the preoccupied feeling after watching the movie 5 centimeters per second. It has a lot of moral stories, about forgiveness, trust, having courage in life, and brotherly kindness. So good, very moving, and captivating.
They're writing songs of love, but not for me. A lucky star's above, but not for me. With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of grey than any Russian play could guarantee. I was a fool to fall and get that way; Heigh-ho! Alas! And also, lack-a-day! Although I can't dismiss the mem'ry of her kiss, I guess she's not for me.
Nefeli Stansfield he looks just like Levi, i swear i dont even call him Jun at this point. i actually forgot what his name was because i never called him by it.
His English was better than the English of the Americans, lol. Won't complain though, the English was better than in most anime. I remember the English in Zankyou no Terror very well... xD
Ed espitia of course you must be an arrogant fan. im a musician and I can go on for ages about why kids on the slope has a better ost but save me from humiliating yourself and shut the fuck up yourself.
This is wonderful..... in the middle of lockdown in midtown Manhattan I’m waltzing around in a vintage nightie hoping the best for everyone. Miss Jenny.
Anime like this is why anime will never die they take something ordinary like jazz that others won't even stop to listen to it and show you why it is beautiful.
I'v rewatched this anime many times... it introduced me to Jazz. Just love it ! I just want to know if anyone knows which bands covered all these songs. Especially; But Not for me, Some Day My Prince will Come, and Moanin ! the originals are amazing just these covers are super nostalgic and I enjoy it more than the original or other covers.
Rip sentaro Cucked so hard by one of his closest friends he ends up in priesthood xD. For real though this song does remind me of what sentaro went through with Yurika, but atleast Sentaro found happiness in what he loves to do and is over it.

For those who thought that Jun nii-chan's VA sung this song, hahaha sorry you got it wrong. This rendition of "but not for me" is performed by apollon quartet, composed by Yukko Kanno and sang by Masayoshi Furukawa. Give them a credit.
I was listening on Ella Fitzgerald and I noticed that I remembered this peculiar song...I knew I listened this song watching this anime...now I love it more than before!
I like both of their voices, but i don't agree with you; to me, they really are different. Chet's voice is kind of more sad. Here, the voice is more seductive and warmer. To make a comparison, i woukd say Jun's voice is the evening's party beginning and Chet's voice, is after the party's ending.
I've always loved Shinichiro watanabe and jazz, (Well, swing really. frank Sinatra, dean Martin, Bobby Darin.) so my discovery of this anime is a real win for me.

If you listen closely, you can actually hear Yurika's heart getting snatched by Jun.
YOU MEAN MY HEART AS WELL?
Izumi Wani yes my heart as well..... Miss Jenny
sad sen-boy
Ahh don't make me remember it, I feel sad for that other guy
😢😢
I can also hear my heart falling for him
who else fell in love with jun's voice?
I fell in love with Jun in general
Ariel Trochez He's mine.
Matsuda Tōta He's also fictional
Of course! :)

thank you
THANK YOU ありがとう😊
BLESS YOU
When I first heard the song I thought it said russian plain since russia has a lot of grey skies and clouds.
Where's the last part in the song?
when he started to sing I was so shocked my eyes teared up lol. i melted
no matter what, jazz just gives you a happy feeling..
truth
yep .
Not necessarily happy (that goes for me), but at least it fills you with hope and a feeling that things will be fine, even if not happy.
dude this song has literally the saddest lyrics, and yet puts us all at ease.
Alone togheter o foggy day, whit mel torme, not happy men
best version of this song. hope it gets back on spotify soon
i guess u havent heard chet bakers version ai
@@minglingli7097 i listen to it as a substitute when i can’t listen to this version 😁
@@corbinwoodbury7653 hehehehe
I hope so too 😫😫😫
@@theyya3034 i have bad news….

geckowonderful huhhh what hwaygghh lol just kidding that's actually very real and very beautiful.
It's not atonal lmao, this is extremely typical jazz language from the early 60s
Ee
did anyone notice that Yurika named her dog after Chet? this anime is gold
She has a dog?
positivityzero it's actually a cat
***** ah yeah, I remember now XD
Kailsol cat*
She was totally obsessed with Jun
Damn this show was legit. My favorite part was that the animation of the drummer was actually spot on. That in itself with the simple but moving slice of life story carried some weight for me.
yeah the animation was so perfect, its funny because it was the first anime i watched in my life, and am still listening to it so many years later. also im 4 years late lmao
they draw on an irl person doing action
@@hakdogbbq4702did they say they actually did that? ik thats a technique people use but theres some others too
I don't know about ya'll but I really liked Brother Jun
Sailor Levi I was kinda disapointed by him when he return but in the end I restart liked him 😊
He's a damn commie.
I kinda hate him because he snatched sentaro's gf,but at the end im starting to like him again
I fell in love with jazz with this anime
so sad it's not on spotify anymore :(
Why’d they take it off
Love Jun's references to Chet baker. Glad Jun also got (in my opinion) one of the happier endings in the series :P
What I loved most about this version is the pacing of it being slower. c:

im gonna throw myself off a cliff holy shit Jazzy Levi's [Jun] voice is just so pleasant it's gorgeous to hear
+Boku No Nico hahahahahaha Jazzy Levi xD
Nefeli Stansfield he looks just like Levi, i swear i dont even call him Jun at this point. i actually forgot what his name was because i never called him by it.
1. right??? silk smooth
2. your name is too close for comfort
sky bound zoo
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Boku No Nico is he actually also the trumpeter
His English was better than the English of the Americans, lol. Won't complain though, the English was better than in most anime. I remember the English in Zankyou no Terror very well... xD
Five is a robot. She used Google translate program for translate and speaking
LOL! :D Next time I've got to speak in English I'll say that if someone wonders about its .. eh ... quality. :§
Breee fiiihverrr to jeeee siiiiixxxur
Generally the case with English as a foreign language ...
But the song was still by the Japanese dubber.. which is quite idiotic. You don't need even to transalte this song.
OMG, of course Yoko Kanno produced it....any amazing anime with amazing music has yoko kana behind it....lol
Faire Yang this ost is okay but its not near to cowboy bebop
Are you kidding me? It's ten times better than cowboy bebop. And cowboy bebops was amazong
CP22232 shut the fuck up kid
Ed espitia of course you must be an arrogant fan. im a musician and I can go on for ages about why kids on the slope has a better ost but save me from humiliating yourself and shut the fuck up yourself.
Faire Yang Can you let me know about other anime which have yoko kana behind them?
what a fine voice
It´s a really great song!... but Chet Baker´s version is classic!
Learned about Chet in the history of jazz class I took last semester. Chet's version of this song is my favorite
@@Idkman707 In fact this is a "cover" of the chet baker version.
@@cucollins12 I know, and that version is also a cover of a Judy Garland song
This is wonderful..... in the middle of lockdown in midtown Manhattan I’m waltzing around in a vintage nightie hoping the best for everyone. Miss Jenny.
この声・・・うっとりする♡
大好き♡
That voice, that trumpet, that piano, and that bass!
Shows when a song is fine, it is forever appreciated - from 1930 to today, Gershwin rules! This is a nice version of the song!! ^w^
淳兄かっこよすぎや
Marathoned this series last night and glad I did. Great song, one of my own "Favorite Things" Ha. Appreciate the upload.
Anime like this is why anime will never die they take something ordinary like jazz that others won't even stop to listen to it and show you why it is beautiful.
Man... such an amazing OST. Yoko never cease to amaze me.
but you're not for me... Le crei
I'v rewatched this anime many times... it introduced me to Jazz. Just love it ! I just want to know if anyone knows which bands covered all these songs. Especially; But Not for me, Some Day My Prince will Come, and Moanin ! the originals are amazing just these covers are super nostalgic and I enjoy it more than the original or other covers.
Masayoshi Furukawa you silver-tongued devil you. First "You Make Me Cool" and then this classic.
I listen this song 8 years ago...Untill now I still can't move on in too many ways.....
i love this song with my whole life. this will be my favorite song forever
I love the little interlude that follows that line. It was actually really good musically, and patricks expression makes it.
Brother Jun had me on a feelocoaster 100000000000000000000000000000/10 anime had me crying at the end for sure
oh god i love this ost so much
Vocals provided by Masayoshi Furukawa, who provided work for Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade and .hack//SIGN.
That's why I love Yoko Kanno
Yoko Kanno is God
This is such a great series..
Just Amazing
Best Cover I heard ever.
smooth as can be, wonderful voice and trumpet playing
I'm always listening to this whether I'm happy or not, he makes me feel deep inside it a lot.
"I understand your feeling bro, he's not for me too" :)
This song makes me think of Sentarou
Rip sentaro Cucked so hard by one of his closest friends he ends up in priesthood xD. For real though this song does remind me of what sentaro went through with Yurika, but atleast Sentaro found happiness in what he loves to do and is over it.
i love it, Jun's voice is amazing
this is so beautiful, I cried.
45 chapters and it took 4 years to finish this manga! this is the masterpiece of the author , it's just unique and beautiful.
I love this
Perfect music on winter's evenings ; )
Sentaro, I feel you, bro!
Listening to this happily single makes me wish I could go back to when I was miserably heartbroken to really appreciate the lyrics
Oh man, I could listen to this ALL DAY! Guess I have to make a new playlist on my phone. :')
Relaxing vocal, smooth piano and walking base and… they makes my ears melt////
I just had this on mix and the second I heard the head I knew what it was, truly an amazing song.
They're writing songs of love, but not for me,
A lucky star's above, but not for me,
With love to lead the way,
I found more clouds of gray,
Than any Russian play could guarantee.
I was a fool to fall, and get that way,
Hi ho! Alas! And also Lack a day!
Although I can't dismiss,
The memory of her kiss,
I guess she's not for me.
It all began so well, but what an end,
This is the time a fella needs a friend,
When every happy plot,
Ends in a marriage knot,
And there's no knot for me.
The trumpet player is imitating Chet Baker’s phrasing, and the person singing sounds like Chet singing. I always love hearing Chet sing.
For those who thought that Jun nii-chan's VA sung this song, hahaha sorry you got it wrong. This rendition of "but not for me" is performed by apollon quartet, composed by Yukko Kanno and sang by Masayoshi Furukawa. Give them a credit.
I just found that both character and voice actor name Junichi OAO
Such an underrated masterpiece
Incredible
Episode 4 of Sakamichi no Apollon brought me here... and it's 2:44am right now... so peaceful and soothing to hear...
I was listening on Ella Fitzgerald and I noticed that I remembered this peculiar song...I knew I listened this song watching this anime...now I love it more than before!
I love it, I love it so much
Oh gosh, same same same. I melted when he started to sing.
Pop's basslines sounds freaking amazing !!
I'm a straight guy, but love Jun very much. Am I gay ?
Hendrik Frans Everyone would go gay for Jun. Haha.
This is a one-time pass
no, you're just an ultimate chad with patrician tastes in anime men
I love that pianist so much
i can't believe i just found this anime. now after watching the anime i fell in love with jazz.
I mean, anyone sitting in that bar would fall in love with Junichi. Just listen.
i loved this song
名曲だなぁ
I don't know him but i`ve already fell in love with his voice
this is my favorite song *w*
As a Jazz lover I'm happy to welcome the people who love Jazz now because of this anime!! Welcome guys!!
this is when we all realise why sentarou respected brother jun so much. a great this is.
This anime is so beautiful and when brother jun sang this song it was amazing. I recomend this anime to anyone who is a fan of music :)
love it
so sweet
Fantastic, Kanno-San!
the trumpet solo is incredible
i'm in love
Oh man this song :')
awesome
Whenever I listen to Kids on the slope Ost I cant calm myself down arghhhhh
とても、良きJAZZ
この人達のsingsingsingとかのビックバンド編成も聞いてみたい
神や！！！
GREAT!!!!!!!
Honestly this is beautiful
en el día que vi este capitulo me derreti.. su voz.. su voz
the voice of this singer is like baker's voice. good game
I like both of their voices, but i don't agree with you; to me, they really are different. Chet's voice is kind of more sad. Here, the voice is more seductive and warmer. To make a comparison, i woukd say Jun's voice is the evening's party beginning and Chet's voice, is after the party's ending.
The best ost
suwabe junichi's voice is BEAUTIFUL here
Nice song to listen to while having a drink and reading.
