Wow, so TH-cam must have determined via algorithm that we are the chillest people on the internet.
...or the ones that need to chill out.✌
yes
Yeah 😍😍😍
I was just listening to a metal parody of cause you got that. Why am I here
lol
imagine being so at peace you could create something like this
I believe this is the level we all, as humans, should strive to reach. I mean.. just listen to what it created.
listening to this now is the peace to go forth and create
I'd argue that someone who is rarely at peace might do a better job creating this.Many creators attempt to create that which is not often present within themselves.
^^ My feelings exactly.
JohnnyTwilight so how do you explain rap?
The decisions that we made on TH-cam throughout the years lead us to this moment, to this video in our recommendations. All of us, from different parts of the world making similar choices. At last, here, we are united! Welcome, tribe members! Welcome, family!
Now lets chill.
Hahaha, I like this comment! Thank you and welcome as well.
Beautiful ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Ok dude chill out..🤔✨🤣🤣🤣✨only joking 🙃 honey ✨🌼🌿🌞🌿🌼✨☃️🏴☃️✨
It’s nice but could do with out the snap crackle and pop off the breakfast cereal 🥣
Anxiety be like, "aight imma head out."
or take a smoke
lol
Let’s not talk about such things anymore 😌
LOL it does hit like this !
AHAHAHAHAHAHHA
I liked the part when I was one with the universe

"i think everybody's looking for something that they already are".

yessir
And we remain for a time, an aspect of the universe peering in at itself. An anti-oneness, chaos and creation churning together but seperate. Me, and the other.
Yes, it was lit.
I'm beginning to realize just how awesome the Japanese ambient and jazz music scene is. Better late than never. It may be a lifelong appreciation.
Look for 'Rainbow Goblins'.
@@kirbyculp3449 That is indeed a mind blowing record :)

May I also suggest Lenny White, 'The Adventures of the Astral Pirates'?

KOKUBO, meaning: "Little things lasting in time"
A surname that is almost a poem.
Thank you for sharing, it makes me enjoy this even more. Beautiful beyond words…
Wow!! It seems poetic that he would have that surname, and then create this music that fits it so well
3:11 😢
I get to be alive, sitting in my cozy bed with my cat asleep next to me, listening to this beautiful music, feeling…not sure what emotion. But something I never imagined I’d be able to feel. Thank you God.
Thank you doctors who saved me when I was born, and then the other doctors who saved me when I lost the will to live. Thank you to my family and God and doctors and medication and my cats and myself for helping me want to live again, so I could find myself here today feeling alive
I'm so happy you are in this place!
Your comment made me cry. I struggle alot with suicidal idiations and just being grateful to be alive.
Great to hear you are doing well.
God bless you!
@@ksy4747 I hope you have a nice week and your days will get better friend!
Oh my god, these comments are so wholesome. This is the real youtube. Take care all of you, guys

Whoever reads this, I genuinely wish you the best in life and hope you're able to find happiness
Thx from the future we are now lock down
Thank you so much. I wish you the same.
Thank you. And to you dear soul.
Thank you, dear friend, I hope the same to you :)
-幽玄- "Yugen"-Japanese term describing a state of awareness of the universe that evokes an emotion too powerful to describe in words. I find it can be at least mildly experienced through the sounds in this video
@Qimodis lol OK
Tranquility. Described in one word. Tranquility.
Ohhh thank you!!!
Yugen, a bit like the Kantian sublime in western Romanticism. Nice.
I experience this through the music of Dan Deacon, Animal Collective, and Shpongle. Mid-Air Thief is fantastic as well.
There are lot of ways musicians and can show off. Some are masters of their instruments, others are masters of songwriting and can build and release tension with expert precision. Sometimes a singer can move me to tears with the poetry and sincerity in the lyrics. This seems to be something entirely different: it's music with no ego. It's just for the listener.
Something heartwarming about that.
Wow in love with your words
definitely man, listened to this first time tripping on mushrooms and I'm right back there nestled in the fabric of the universe
@@ultimateslayerdude hahahahahaha
👍👍👍
I love that album art. No one isn’t appreciating the beauty of it in the comments.
Well I'm glad someone else did it and made a comment
Appreciated!

I believe you mean "No one IS appreciating the beauty..." A double negative expression is meaningless. ;)

Hello. I reckon there are several translations of this album cover text into English floating around in cyberspace, but I'd like to post my personal translation here. For everyone who enjoys this lovely album, I'd be honored if it helps you connect more deeply with its spirit.
"
One day,
I found a small spring
in the depths of Ion.
As its pure water endlessly gushed forth,
so too did a nascent power, hitherto held within the forest, begin its course.
Rain falls in drops. Lightning sunders the firmament.
Amidst a sudden thunderstorm, I trace my own memories.
―That distant summer day―
That time so filled with endless possibility.
This small spring of Ion, the gurgling brook, the rain:
water, in as many forms as it may take.
Water - that which makes a circuit of the world itself -
is reborn within this forest.
Moistening the soil
and fostering life...
Upon this planet, blue and beautiful,
enduring untold millions of years in its splendor,
I am to feel, without limit,
a helpless devotion.
"
I have a hard time with those last few lines. Ask me in a year, or a month, or a day, and I'll have an entirely different "answer".
Peace.
Thanks. I appreciate it and knowing it was personally translated by you made it even better.
Thank you for the translation.
thank you so much
thanks i cried
thank you, your translation is so beautiful + graceful 💛
I kinda just teared up im at 44:15 and I just randomly thought that wow, im alive? and that my life is beautiful. full of hardships, yes. but beautiful. kinda cringed at myself for tearing up right after lmfao but im so grateful to be here with all of you. experiencing life together, differently.
There’s really no shame at shedding a tear when music hits you that way. 😊
@@thereisnodarksidei agree
Yeah, I agree with the other two. It's perfectly fine, man. You had a moment of real clarity. Don't be embarassed and look away again. :)
Same here. I am grateful to be alive as well living and experiencing this life as well.
ION SERIES by takashi KOKUBO - Oasis Of The Wind II ～ A Story Of Forest And Water ～
Album cover translation:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day, deep in the ION forest I found a small spring.
As serene water wells up endlessly, the new powers which were preserved by the forest begin to move.
A drop of rain, then a thunder rips the sky apart.
In the middle of a sudden thunderstorm, my mind drifts back to that long-gone summer day, the days of unlimited possibilities.
The ION forest's small spring, the stream, the rain, they are all but an ever changing forms of water.
Water that circulates the earth become revived in the forest.
Invigorating the land and nurturing life.
I feel an endless affection for this beautiful blue planet, which continues to shine for millions of years.
thank you
Such descriptive beauty. Thank you for the translation.
Thanks, friend 😊🙏
thanks 💖

FYI this guy has a bandcamp page, so you can get the albums that are there in lossless quality.
Green leaves, cold water, early morning, empty stomach, disappearing, being back a whole, a single river into a single sea.
I feel like this was created by a man who had no ego. someone who genuinely wanted to serve others and bring them to a state of calmness through his art. Listening to this album felt like the artist made it specifically for me. He wasnt trying to impress with his technical skill (even though its obviously there) rather he used his ability to serve the purpose of making something extremely enjoyable to the listener. I aspire to create something like this one day.
When you reach a level of simplicity and your ego melts, you are capable of creating something beautiful and profound...

Of course! What I meant more or less is that we are flooded with amazing re-issues and compliations that we could never hear before, by so many small independent record labels:

The most wonderful music from around the world that was not even re-issued is now availible for free with one click:

Finally, we have great new artists, for whom maybe it's not easier at all to survive and earn a living on music, but it's much easier to get to a wider international audience

Finally. Someone who is not bitching about being born in the wrong generation, takes time to look for quality music and appreciates it all for once. Thank you.
1- Art cover is beautiful.
2- Entire Music of this Album OST is beautiful.
*unnecessary part*
3- you are beautiful ;*
The "unnecessary part" its really necessary. Thank u
this album is like hiking up a mountain on a chilly autumn morning, dew drops dripping down every blade of grass, with your best fried by your side. no words need to be spoken. just the pure peace and refreshing air of the outdoors. marveling at the perfect balance of it all. it can be easy to forget where we all started: wild, free, angry, vicious. but also serene, happy, balanced, content. the amazing part of nature is the duality and the amazing impact it has on every living thing. i hope you find it too, friend.
best fried what ?
@@stewartlancaster6155 Rice!
It’s very nostalgic, reminding me of a time that never existed.
it does exist right now! we just have to cultivate it!
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Yes I experience this type mood often . Just shut off the TV unless it's a music channel with something like this , shut off your phone or at least mute it and get away from Facebook , Instagram and all that nonsense . Have respect for nature and quiet ... the wind and the water and simply allow the universe to speak to you .
Even just five or ten minutes a day walk in the woods , trees , or around water etc .can make a massive difference .
Don't expect others to give you peace of mind you have to get it for yourself..create it .
Even if you live in an apartment you can achieve this if you have a nice view of trees and sky or greenery and sky and have one spot that is your place of sanity... you can sit there and experience this ; you will have a sense of the sacred and feel centered and whole .
It's a bit harder if you don't have control over your environment if you have a lot of people around you constantly watching TV , blasting music and if you can't have peace when you want it .
I wish all beings everywhere to be able to have this kind of peace and peace of mind because everyone deserves it
It.seems that such a amazing music couldn't exist to me as well
@@gardensofthegods what a beautiful post
We are all suffering in some form..this album makes the suffering bearable... please pass it on.
The suffering? Or the album? :)
Like Master Lee said:
"Be like water. Stone cannot withstand its influence. "
i already cry tears of happiness when i listen to this album but reading thru the comments really makes the tears flow. the connection music gives humanity is one of the most incredible things to me. from all over the world, during any timezone, someone out there is listening to this lovely album the same way i am, and wordlessly sharing that feeling that blooms inside of us from what could be thousands of miles away. just... pure peace and love. ive got auditory-tactile synesthesia and this album feels like running your fingertips through a brisk creek, like running your arm through a patch of tall grass and feeling it spring back up to reach for the sun, like ducking and dodging around hanging branches, like the lightest of droplets of a morning rain hitting my eyelids. the sounds flow over me like satin and ground me like nothing else. thank you takashi kokubo :')
Your comment makes me emotional and a lovely calmness @vampsprite
Wow!!!!
@Nambu Tōri exactly true sadness to me is the disconnect from nature that some of us are given no choice but to comply with, and true happiness is remembering that you ARE of this earth and how amazing life really is
Thank you for your beautiful message. It is so meaningful to many of us ❤
This is some Advanced Peace right here
I love all the positive comments on this video.
me too!! 🧡
miauuuwwww......lol
I was feeling anxious this morning and I started playing this as I was doing my homework and didn't realize it at first but this beautiful music helped calmed my nerves and grounded me. I wish I could thank the artist. I also love seeing all the comments here, makes me happy to know that there are others who appreciate this art. Peace and blessings friends
Sometimes the youtube algorithms are spot-on. THIS is one of those occasions. This album is a treasure!
man idk but i started getting recommendations like these since last year. And they ain't stoppin
The only drawback is I wish they would bring the vocals up front just a bit . They barely register. Also the tubular bells have an echo that isn't compatible with sax. Why people feel a need to cram the hard edged horn in this gentle whisper almost ruins it. The upper ringing tones could drop out as they are too monotonous. ( Who is this person dissecting like a cadaver in the tundra)
@@henrygarciga uh-oh.....timestamp on this bit, please? lololol (i feel you -- the only time i've ever been able to hear music without involuntarily dissecting it was under the influence of a small bite of a very special chocolate chip cookie..... xD wish I could hear like a "normal" non-musician human sometimes)
@@ssslooshy =Had to come back and listen again to understand my own notes . Just got an alto flute for my B-day last week . I don't think I've ever owned a new instrument ...
@@henrygarciga Ah congratulations!!!!!! :D and happy birthday! ♪♫♪♫! I am a sax player so i have oodles of respect for you fluterists! :) how long have you played??
All, I had the pleasure of listening to this whilst driving home from the lake district (UK). I needed to escape 'the Grey' city life and spend some time with nature again. Its quite clear that an uncluttered mind made this album and I felt sense of peace I haven't for some time, to those of you that don't appreciate this kind of thing, just give it a chance. We're all so eager to judge and not so eager to accept. This came out in 1993 and sounds like it's not due to be released until 2023. Way ahead of its time!
wow so true
I have to try this out while driving around Midlands in some summer, sun glistening afternoon.... ❤
@@Thereal_prettyinblack I'm with you. Need to do this
This is pretty relaxing, am I right fellas?
Esta melodía me trae una paz y una calidez tan hermosa que siento que podría vivir 50 años más de lo previsto
Pero sobre todo ver cómo hay tantas personas con un corazón hermoso que por distintas situaciones nos encontramos aquí por destino o por coincidencia
Gracias todos por existir y estar aquí
Haz hecho lo mejor que puedes incluso más de lo que tú crees… sigue firme y no te dejes caer tan fácilmente, eres valiente, eres capaz y eres fuerte… 🫧
my favorite part was when I realized I have no idea who I really am
We are all you you are all of us
You don't exist, yet you are everything. A being made of experience, for experience. A self contained universe of subjectivity, the universe experiencing itself. You are me, and you and everyone and everything.
It doesn't matter *who* you are.
*You are,* and that's beautiful

I feel like my brain is being cleansed as I listen to this music and sounds.😊
Illustration, music, sounds, the title: everything is wonderful. But does anyone else think that all of this has even more value and more beauty, knowing that it was created 30 years ago and not now? Does anyone else think like me?
I think so too. Personally, I think I feel that way because its timelessness detaches me from the 'now' even more. The sounds here are the same --and just as effective-- as they were three decades ago. Somehow, the fact that it withstands the test of time adds even more magic to the peaceful forests and spring rains I'm transported to whenever I listen to this. Just my two cents.
What's so interesting to me is how it's so clearly needed now; people are latching on. We're fighting through the nihilism and cynicism of the past century and rediscovering meaning.
This reminds me of that moment in time and space I didn't exist yet, but I didn't know that. The sound of non-existence culminating in my existence facilitated by the memories of this music in fractals and black holes of the Universe. Wait a minute... my life is a memory? Where am I? What time is it? Where is that running water coming from?
this makes me need to pee but i cant stop listening
You should probably pee then.
as soon as i turned this on i had to piss wtf
shut up guys, you're making me wanna pee
peeee tiiiimmeee
ever notice you need to pee then all of a sudden the urge is gone ? that is the urine absorbing back into ur body becsause its full of minerals ?
I've been under constant anxiety since I lost my job back in March and the beginning of university but now... I feel like I'm in a kind of mental shelter outside time and space, just for an hour while listening to this. I am now making inner peace at last. This is better than therapy and I didn't ask TH-cam for this blessing since the algorithm found it. Honestly, I just want to thank life right now.
Quick translation of the first stanza on the jacket by a Japanese student studying in the US soil till late evening at the end of summer 2020
One day, deep in the forest of Ion,
I found a little fountain.
The clear water was incessantly springing up,
manifesting the fresh power the forest was storing within.
I found the best music for my cat. She loves it and so do I.
For the hour of listening to this my cat came in and out of my room, Id stop to watch her just frolic about or do nothing. ery calming, the cutesy sounding melodies really accompanied my cats movements and nature. beautiful
True but believe it or not some of them love a song from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon called COLORS ... years ago when our cat was laying there on the floor with us listening to it we saw a small green sphere directly above her head ..it looked solid and was the healthy vivid beautiful shade of green it ...was not just an orb and it was about the size of her head... she was laying there listening to the song and purring . We could tell she was really loving that song
@@gardensofthegods yoo that's awesome!!
Same just on my bed chilling with my cat
My cat is loving it. I wish I could post a photo comment. She is under the coffee table where the laptop is sitting just soaking it in. Zen master kitteh.
Welcome everyone who clicked this because of their algorithm 👋
It was the “album art” that sucked me in. It’s a nice place, btw.
Moments before listening to this album my mind was going through another bout of anxiety, I was on the verge of tears creating scenarios in my head about how other people think of me. I don't know what happened, but hearing this made me realise I do just need to let go and not let these things concern me so much.
As someone who also does this, sending you much love and hopes that maybe one day we won’t care as much 🫶🏻
I'm a little sad for those who haven't heard this magic.
did youtube realise I was incredibly anxious and sent immediate help? ty
May you find the meaning of life my friend. For the very nature of existence implies a purpose. ♥♥♥
Oh my, it may have had been my case lmao
I am freaking out because I was so anxious and my blood pressure went up and then I found this. Call it angel or algorithm but it’s magical
:)
Wish my mind was this calm and peaceful
Meditation and getting rid of Facebook and TV Instagram and all that extraneous nonsense having a place of Sanity in your home where you create a Sacred Space and a nice peaceful view will give you this .
Also try to avoid the people who upset you
gardensofthegods but you need to go out to life eventually again. You definitely have a point though
May you find peace and meaning in life my friend. For the very nature of existence implies a purpose. And this is found in virtues. ♥♥♥
I came up with a story while listening and to be honest seeing it in my mind, I burst into tears. I’ve never made myself cry like that so, I hope you enjoy my short tale of a old man and his garden. And please feel free to add in your own details if you imagine it and if you want share them! Thank you.
In a village not far but neither to close, up the many hills is where waterfalls flow from the high cliffs, providing the residing village with a fresh cool gift as from the mountains above and with this gift of life the village had taken the opportunity to garden. This then turned into a custom, you’d find homes engulfed by sweet flowers delicate to the touch, bushes tall and fair with leaves sprouting out so far you’d almost get hit with one if not carful enough, ivy covering homes like a soft blanket in the cold of a winters night. As tangled and messy as it may seem it was tame, organized and especially it was above all neat. Perfection blossoms, were the words always spoken and heard. But for one old home, the village never spoke such words, warped wood fences tangled with vines, weeds in every nock and cranny, wild mountain flowers all scattered and unsorted. As for who was responsible for this mess, non other then that crazy old man as the village called him. Who wore a small smile, while his messy madness, untidy and uncared for no good of a garden resided. The village all turned their heads on the man, but the man was humble. He knew of eyes that judged in the market and those who spoke in secret as he passed, but the man was always smiling. For someone so outcasted he never seemed for even a moment less happy. As everyone had their backs to him, a young boy among the mid day markets crowd heard the harsh words spoken, but did not fall so easily into judgment. He became fascinated with this mysterious old man, everyone had seemingly hated.
So forth, the young boy not to long after found the old man walking steadily home, clean stone steps refined to the corners with not even a fallen cherry blossom to be seen. The boy then approached the old man and began asking questions. To which the old man replied with only a hand motion forward. Up the steps they went father, as they moved forward the steps began to look dirty and worn. Grass took the sides as did small flowers and plants of all kinds.
The boy had never seen such a sight, amazed he to remained silent up and up these steps of old but to him new. Soon the old mans home was in sight, the boy eager to see what was spoken of so heavily. He found it to all be true, vines made up the fences, weeds invaded all manner of spaces and wild flowers were spread out as far as could be. Then what was never said, was a stone carved bench among all the mess. The old man sat with his smile now grown even larger. The young boy asked, “sir, but why do you smile, this place is but only a untidy mess”.
The old man spoke softly but briefly, only looking into his garden as he spoke the of his past. The love of his life was the most beautiful of wild flowers, she was adventurous and free as could be. His young daughters wrapped around everything that looked like fun and got into every nock and cranny of mischief there was. Tears glistened in his eyes as the young boy sat and listened, soon they talked for hours on end of all sorts of memories, the boy sat and listened with a smile of his own. Finally the old man said thank you, for your kindness and compassion, it will not be forgotten.
The day had faded to night and the old man slept more then peacefully, one last time.

Yeah I like it enough to sign it, thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed! 💙
Wow👏👏👏 your words became a vision of reality of some sorts in my mind. I envisioned it all ! Brought tears to my eyes when almost at the end or dare I say a new beginning! Thanks 🙏 it cascaded perfectly with the song and has left me with an image of beauty as I continue to listen🙏🙏
Ah. So he was content with his messy garden. To him that was his perfection. He liked it wild and untame. I respect that. I guess it's about perspective , here. And I loved the part where the kid was going up the steps paraphrasing here " as he went along up the old steps to him were new. I love that description
@Skydog 298, Thank you!! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed my story! Your lovely comment means a lot!! Thank you you again and have a wonderful day 💙💙💙
@JeyseAmerica24, I feel like in life we get stuck inside our own perspectives to easily and judge others far to quickly, and thank you for enjoyed the part about the steps cause I felt like that was kinda a run on and I believe I changed it up more when I re wrote it, thank you for your lovely comment btw!! Have a wonderful day 💙🌱💙
For someone so outcasted he never seemed for even a moment less happy...His happiness seemed to root from his connection to something unknown by the villagers. Just beyond the tangled fence and twisted ivy mess. Lye secrets enjoyed by the gaze of understanding. In Our world, we get to imagine a jungle of possibilities through the old mans eyes. You always hear those rumors of him looking at the ground with telescope goggles on. Tiny teams timelessly tinkering towards tethered twins. Movers and shakers, churning the soil. Moving to where they can. What is there purpose? What do they seek to accomplish?...
The birds around my room always chirp and sing every time I play this album. It's absolutely wholesome!
Thats wonderful
I was having such a hard day. No longer.
I imagine this is the track I would hear as I am dying and transitioning into the next world.
aurora nunez I hope it's mine too
and it is.
No. No, it is not.

Someone do it please
@@TheEddymagnum thank you ♥️
when google realizes this is the type of music you're into, they stop serving you ads
listening to this while reading Siddhartha at 5:30 am = great experience
Wow!! Great Music with a Great Book!! I get you!! Be blessed! Namaste from India!
this showed up on my recommendations when i was hitting rock bottom. i guess i have to thank the algorithm
I ve just typed Takashi Kokubo on TH-cam to subscribe to his channel and I found out he has just 430 somethin followers???
We need to spread this marvellous music chinchillin people!
Perfect music if I ever own a relaxation spa.
What an imagination
Takashi Kokubo makes music that sounds like being in a forest cave behind a waterfall in a summer evening.
I don't even need to try to meditate, this music just does it for me. This is true magic.
I love this comment, it works exactly the same way for me too. 😯👌
I just put it on and my 2 years old son ran to me, climbed on me and said "Beautiful" :D
Despite being 25 years old, the quality of this recording is amazing.
It’s a well known fact that mastering was better then than it is now.
@@RootinrPootine Well said.
All analog gear, no digital plugins :)
oh my what a wonderful album... that tunder and rain take me back to my childhood when on hot summer days sudden rain would cool the air, we'd sit on the porch of our little summer house, playing cards, waiting for rain to pass.. and then once the sky clears run to the lake and swim in the warmest water ever... such a joy and peaceful state of mind. This music makes me appreciate nature a lot more...
Stay blessed everyone, your beautiful comments made me smile today, thank you :) x
This album is truly special... I'm so glad i got it in my recommendations, because that's exactly what I needed... I'm at the moment when I'm really struggling to find happiness on my own, because a person i depended all of my happiness is gone now... I'm also severly depressed for a long time already so yeah, stuff has been rough, especially past two months... This album geniuely gives me hope and dude, I for real feel happy when I listen to it.. Not to sound very edgy but yea, good to feel like this once again :) Whoever have read this, have a great day!!
I’ve been feeling quite depressed lately for the first time in my life, and thank god when I listen to this it flows away for a while… or is just okay… I hope you are doing better now! 💚🌳🕊
i feel u
I didn't even think my comment would receive any attention, but it's nice to see that anybody have read it. After a year stuff got only worse, there are good moments, but there were too many awful things that at one point month ago led me to psych ward for a week, because I couldn't keep up with everything that was going on around me... So after a year, it's still a journey to find happiness, but especially to find peace. There's no happiness without peace and hopefully everything comes with time :) I wish good luck to everyone here, it's hard out there, but we'd figure it out eventually
@@nekoruart329 I believe in you 🌿🍃
My favourite part was when I felt like a baby inside the uterus.

This was blocked in the US for me, for a couple months and I couldn't find it anywhere else...
Just now I saw it pop back up on my ambient music suggested again.
It is a Very good day.
Same here but in England
Had this video in my recommendations by listening to Plantasia like 3 months ago. Yesterday I heard it for the first time. So relaxing
We are all one ☝🏻 with the universe just open your eyes a little wider each day and you will see all life’s beauty and glory stay blessed brother 🙏🏻 ☮️💯✊🏼💋🌹💋👍🏻🏴❤️💙💜💚
I found this little space of peace in all this chaos. 🍃🍃🍃
Or is it a little piece of space?
@@Kirke182 a little piece of time 🌿
after deciding to dive into some classic Japanese electonica, the algorithm took me to Hiroshi Yoshimura Wet Land and then this.
I am so pleased that i'm on the cusp of discovering a whole new level of ambient pieces.
thanks to all those sharing these with us.
I think that by now you already know about this, but search for Kankyō Ongaku :)
give us japanese electronica recommendations !!!!!
@@veroarguello3545 although he isn't Japanese, Morgan Fisher has spent quite a few years living there and has released many Ambient albums similar to this.
x2 - the algorithm took me to Hiroshi Yoshimura Wet Land and then this, they go so well together
I remember being a star, I remember seeing them in the total darkness while I was laying on the grass. It was evening. I remember this even though I havent experienced it. It was a total different world, I only breathed a state of love.
This album is considered music for plants! It's not really performative - plants can't listen to music - so it's a gift for the soul. The structure of the music mimics natural in the sense that it's random, but consistent in its randomness. This music is so relaxing to us because our brains are always trying to predict patterns in music and this music doesn't have much of a clear pattern. Very organic and great meditation music - nature with melody!
Takashi Senpai, what a legend.
My favorite part was when I was leaf floating by forest river.
my favourite part was when the forest was floating by the river of leaves.
i am rooted, but i flow
When I close my eyes listening to this music I see landscapes I never saw in real life, unknown places hidden behind the corner of a street, places far away from cities where the sunshine rays shimmer on the rivers like millions of diamonds.
I see old houses cramped along the paved roads with noisy air condition units, children jumping in puddles in poorly maintained parks.
This music is absolutely beautiful.
This makes me wanna be a kid again but have a different childhood. One where i go out on adventures and play around rivers and creeks in the forest and camp outside with my friends and siblings and stay up at night eating junk food and telling each other stories
This makes me wanna start drawing and make my own animated movies about kids being kids like hayao miyazaki making studio ghibli films
This song makes me wanna go live in a rural japanese village (which ik is a romanticised idea of japan but still)
hey stranger from a year ago, you can still do this, even as an adult! adventures and rivers and forests aren't just for kids. best of luck
your inner child is always there, connect with them, and do what you always wanted to do.
I had that kind of childhood, free to play in meadows and streams and abandoned castles and make friends with a variety of animals. Then at the age of ten my father began abusing me sexually. Life had ended for me.
Best random click ever. This put me to sleep pretty fast. Fairy forest music.
I want to live on the cover of this album.
This music reminds me of the beauty already present in all things, including us listening to this right now. Be well my friends.
Soooo true & you too… be well. You are.
Why so little people can feel this kind of music, this is like another dimension
Needs more bass and hihats. Also not enough cough syrup references. 3/10
Wow this is amazing. Hope everyone in the comments has a great 2020
This comment didnt age well!
PANDEMIC AHHHH
