Susumu Hirasawa - Rotation (LOTUS-2)

[TheMarkSasuke64]

Berserk and Millennium Actress; 2 anime that were made 10x better by these guys' music. Their songs are so hauntingly beautiful.

[zionfeather7]

Id love the english translation to this song

[powerbeam08]

I will forever remember Satoshi Kon films and the music that Susumu Hirasawa composed for him.

[Darlyon3]

Looking for English Lyrics! Luv Susumu's voice!

[okvip1]

最高ですね

脳が共鳴します

[LittleSn00py]

Official anthem of a fascist Japan.

[FabulousZero]

the internet has brought me back to this video and its still shit, i'd suspected i'd heard this before...bah

[zionfeather7]

This song reminds me of my boyfriend. We were chilling in my dorm and this song was playing and this is when we first met

[Vinnycunt]

I never get tired of watching this.

[KrakenZero]

So meteors are actually fossilized lotus roots

.

[loyantekittay]

Genius! 

[0861kgi]

日本語カッケーーー！！

[enshin0409]

英語が混じった最近の分けの分からない歌なんかより

ALL日本語のこの歌のほうがいい



[josfxj122008]

@enshin0409 平沢も結構英語混ぜるけどね

[hodaka1997]

[Henbot]

[vilesamael]

holy fuck this is trippy as hell, i love it!

[Ryndika]

Now this is fun. Sounds good ^^

[MarcsLab]

Me and Susumu are great friends so if you have any questions on his music or mine contact me for more information regarding : release dates, quotes, manufacturing, tickets, concert dates and more.

[MangoCakesPro]

HE DOESN'T MOVE. o.0 Also, his hair makes me giggle. I don't know why.

[MundusLitterae]

Does anyone know the meaning of the lyrics? What's the english translation? I'm curious! :D

[amino0806]

かっこよすぎる・・・



[WatchGamer]

i think this song is just to short, i really like it but it just to short.

[Songoku93]

Love his music! But these vids are kinda weird... x)

[MarcsLab]

Attention everyone - my name is marc and I make music just like Susumu. If your interested please subscribe, comment and buy my songs on my profile. Thank You Everyone.

[SuperkingJJ]

Trypophobes unite... damn this video

[demonkai76]

haha at random im up here listening to this tune watching the intro of MVC3 the first one and it seems to go with that shit just right in some hella funny way lol..this dudes music is hella orgasmic to the ears i see it makes u zone out a bit @_@

luv it ^_

[Grey249]

chiyoko <3

[ThornSakura]

I love his music!! But in english or other language it´ll probably suck.

[Dr4snus]

@FabulousZero

I wish this moron would shut up, is this supposed to pass as a comment on youtube? Garbage.

[Mounce2]

@FabulousZero It's alright, we all know ignorant Americunts like yourself have shitty taste in music :) Continue living in bliss but keep in mind that your tastes, opinion and preferences are forever flawed compared to most people around you.

:D

[TheGzeus]

@Mounce2 I hope Americunts just refers to what we call Red-Necks and Meatheads.

[Mounce2]

@TheGzeus Na, I'd say it typically refers to Americans who happen to be cunts, or, ignorant douchebags so to speak. Just like a gay person can be gay, but the annoying ones are faggots. Etc etc.

:P

[TheGzeus]

@Mounce2 Fair enough.

I assume the loud fuckers fall right into that?

I hate them with a passion and i fucking _live here_.

I was in Japan in 2010 and I kept getting told I "looked European" or "didn't seem American". When I asked why, it was because I wasn't loud, annoying, and dressed like a douchebag.

I had an ultimate facepalm in my heart.

[Mounce2]

@TheGzeus XDD Yea, I want to go to Japan, but generally Canadians get it nice and Canadian tourists get treated with utmost respect, comically I've seen how true that is in North America as a whole because many Americans try to pretend to be Canadian and wear Canadian flags like pins and all that on their luggage and coats, but their accent gives them away as not being Canadian, makes me facepalm and laugh a bit :/

[TheGzeus]

@Mounce2 Oh, in Japan, they can get away with it to a degree, especially if they're from Wisconsin or Minnesota.

Only works on Japanese or Europeans, though.

You should go! You can have (cheap) fun for a month for around 1000usd (plus airfare), and more expensive fun for less time.

[Mounce2]

@TheGzeus Hah, I'm literally broke right now so I don't have any 'cheap amounts' of money lingering anywhere. I'd definitely try to do the research needed when I at least gain $1000-$2000 though, definitely :P

[demondarkhorse]

hes like the maynard james keenan of japan

[CorrectMotion]

yes berserk i knew it

[King92Kazma]

Genius!! <3

[frogbs]

dude p-model absolutely rules what the hell are you talking about

[psmtheman]

@frogbs Seriously.

[josfxj122008]

WOW this guy is amazing I bet he has about 400~500 songs by now including both P model and solo works!

[ComatoseElf]

the launch of the philosopher's propeller! what an innovative man!

[ThatGmoney]

The music if good, but the music vodeo is hurt'n!

[ebonhawk]

his voice and song style is like enka on acid .... i want more!!!

[haolihfaioefh]

Well that settles it. We must build a giant lotus to launch into space- then humanity's ultimate goal shall be complete.

And when they see the lotus, the species of the galaxy will know us as peaceful and welcome us......

[prometheus0125]

I love this movie...I love this music. What a masterpiece...

電影(千年女優)的主題曲，沒話說的精采。

@imdantheman89 It's a lotus seed.

[MeijiKendo]

so, a metior lands on earth, then they build a giant space device to send it back to outer space.

[Soulwhodreams]

wow...I discovered this guy from the berserk anime series....Where has your music been all my life?!?!?!? I'm gonna look on amazon.com and see if I can buy his cd's....:) His music and voice really does tickle your brain and make you feel the emotion! :)

[demonkai76]

@Soulwhodreams

yeh same shit i said. first it was berserk way back in the 90s, then the Berserk game on dreamcast and now again with this track to some Mugen stage i downloaded. This guy was talented and i didnt pay close attention

[820815ryou]

新興宗教団体の歌を極限まで高めるとこの人の歌になりそう

[tagawayasuhiro1989]

正直この歌は神だと思う。

[taterboob]

This video reminds me of Panzer Dragoon.

[MEGA791]

これも飛ぶのか・・・

[godbewithu]

[naruto88uzumaki]

@demonkai76 u got to here paranoia agent opening is his too and let me tell u the guy is fucking awesome man that song is the shit

[Tahir1199]

Susumu Hirasawa!  cool musician

[DarkNekoStudio]

well this should be renamed Satoshi's Theme and they should made a millenium director as a tribute to him.46 years old can't believe this.as soon as i get my butt to japan,i'm going to pray on his tomb.his career might have been to short but at least he left us with masterpieces,i'll never forget thaté

[pianist231]

yeesh.

[anike00]

This song was played at Kon's funeral.

[pheenix42]

@anike00 No kidding? Wow, what a tribute! =)

[Damcool1]

@anike00 A great song worthy of a great man.

[powerbeam08]

@Damcool1 We owe him our thanks for his memories of his films. i'll miss satoshi kon. :')

[MastroHo]

この衝撃のニュース（展開）をどう捉えていいかわからない現在だ­が、

きっと今監督のことだ、もう一つ二つ仕掛けが用意されているに違­いない。

エンドロールのロタティオンを聞きながらスクリーンから目が離せ­ない自分がここにいます。



[cosmo1216]

彼のみが妄想の代理人たる人でした。

今 敏監督は私の永遠です。

心よりご冥福をお祈りいたします。

[nikonikowill]

今敏監督の出棺は、この曲ロタティオンが流されたそうです。心か­ら今敏監督のご冥福をお祈りします。

[hanageborn]

今敏監督がお亡くなりになりました

平沢進を知ったのも千年女優がきっかけでした

R.I.P Satoshi Kon

[MooreJulianne]

He looks like very serious in every videos i watch of him =) this man is a genius.

my favorite song ever is The girl in B with Slow hands (Interpol). Yeah i know it's very different =) ^^

[CosplayGirlShii]

17 people are deaf and hit the dislike button.

[umakara55]

名曲を数多く作ってきた師匠だが、これはその中でもベスト候補で­しょう！

[ScreaminMadMurphy]

See, when i hear him sing it sounds like the happiest asian dude in the world, complete with big expansive singing motions and all that. wotta contrast eh?

[InterRage]

Call me music illiterate but I think there's some indian influence in his music.

[Insaniloids]

@InterRage There might be, actually. I don't think this makes you illiterate.

[jaha111]

@InterRage

It's actually Thai and some Southeast Asian, but mostly Thai.

[InterRage]

@jaha111 thanks, hey make your background graphic with a darker tone, can't read anything on your page.

[rvooh]

0:55 he says "talk to the hand"

[CJAnonymous]

Great singing, but he's not a very emotional guy, is he?

[Kyuka]

@CJAnonymous He isn't human, it is obvious *O* he is some sort of higher being

[Meteotrance]

if a sequel of Myst videogame are made they should ask Hirasawa san to do the soundtrack this clip is very similare to the graphics of this game.

[hanageborn]

はじめて平沢進の存在を知ったのはこの曲だった

衝撃を受けた

[TickleMeBloo18]

I cried harder when this song played at the end of Millennium Actress. xD

[Loctambule]

Ho putin que ça pue!

[Pandasiatique]

@Loctambule This guy says that the music sux, he is creazy.

[sloume]

@Loctambule t'es con ou quoi, il parle de rotation putain. C'est pour ça qu'il fait allusion au saké dans le chanson enculé

[Loctambule]

@sloume

Mais c'est aussi minable que toi pauvre demi-couille. Tu écoutes de la merde et à force tu pue la merde tu vois c'est aussi simple, c'est nul à en pleurer un peu comme ton Qi. Il fallait vraiment que ce soit tard et que je sois fatigué pour tomber sur une daube pareille... Allez FdP :)

[sloume]

@Loctambule ouais cette musique est vraiment mauvaise, et ouais je n'écoute pas ça. Du coup, même sans savoir de quoi tu parles, je comprend que tu dois être un abrutis de première.

A+

[Loctambule]

@sloume

Venant de toi je prendrais ça comme un compliment petite bite.

[sloume]

@Loctambule je te traite d'abrutis et tu prends ça pour un compliment? :D

Y'a plus aucun doute dans ce cas :-)

[Loctambule]

@sloume

Bha que veux tu les gars qui supportent pas la critique c'est un peu comme des résidus de fausse couche. Enfin comme ta mère a du être déçue, dur dur la vie hein?

[sloume]

@Loctambule Une critique? j'accepte pas une critique??? mais tu parles d'une musique dont je me fous complétement, et que je n'apprécie pas. T'as qu'à critiquer les coeur de l'armée rouge si tu veux me toucher, mais là tu prouverais juste que t'as un paquet de cire dans les oreilles.

p.s: t'as eu des problèmes dans l'enfance??

[Loctambule]

@sloume

Moi non, toi surement.........

[RanArabesque]

I love this movie

[G00st432]

I love this guys music, but it always gets me how he sings such anthemic music with such a stoic expression.

[silenthill0lover]

さあ、これは・・・楽しいだ。すごい音だよ。＾＾

[Dr4snus]

Hearing this at the end of Millennium Actress perfected the moment and sealed it as my favourite film.

[Fotenks]

I always loved listening to this dudes music. It's so different though, I never share it with other people cause I think they'll think I'm weird. It's cool to see a bunch of people on youtube who share the same taste in music

[666Mariko666]

@Fotenks I know. whenever i show this to someone they never seem to like it. but then i remember that i'm an individual person.

[asdcvbert]

sounds alot better when you don't know what is he saying :DDDDD

[sloume]

@asdcvbert still sounds terrible >.>

[xXblaksakuraXx]

OMG! This is just incredible music!

Long live Hirasawa-san!

[Surathan]

The vidoe doesn't make any sense, but the visuals and the music are beautiful.

[EricSchwin22]

This guy is a genius!!!

[Surathan]

Yes, Susumu Hirasawa is an audio genius, much like Miyazaki Hayao is a visual genius

[joemanses]

yeah it would appear that this Susumu is pretty good friends with Satoshi Kon and Kentaro Miura. His music as mind bogglingly excellent.

[reborngodgunnerx]

some of his best work yet

[brollyhero99]

Berserk, Paranoia Agent, Paprika, Millenium Actress and many others.... he has composed so many songs! I love him! :D

[area8246]

ちょｗ蓮コラｗ

この曲かっこいいなぁ

[voidofambition]

He's composed for Berserk, Paprika and  Millennium Actress :P

Very unique!

[idontknough]

MY GOD HIS MUSIC TICKLES MY BRAIN

[akavitsuma]

amazing!

[BlahZayy1190]

is there a longer version of this song, like without looping it myself, is there an offical longer version of this same song?

[Chradnev]

Yes. It's on the Millennium Actress soundtrack.

[BlahZayy1190]

this track is so mystical...it seriously moves me. i absolutely love this song.

[corntate]

he is great!!!! i have never heard anything like his voice and style of music! xD truly awesome!! does he have a cd?

[MageAtYou]

yeah it's not like he's an indie-producer :P

[r2k8877]

Check out the soundtracks to Paprika and Millennium Actress. All him.

[corntate]

sweet thanks !!

[r2k8877]

no prob. also check out cdjapanand yesasia. They may have album by him.

[TPishek]

If you go to his wikipedia page, at the bottom there's a link to his official website. He offers some free mp3s for download there, like "Girl in Byakkoya/ White Tiger Field" and "Big Brother," which are two of my personal favorites. :D

He also has songs on Amazon, for only $0.89.

[Brolly5]

Susuma Hirasawa couldn't make a bad song if his life depended on it.

[HazugmondoBorasz]

@Brolly5

really? than look at his songs in P-model. those songs were bad beyond compare.

but his independent works are really good.

[JT5718x]

@HazugmondoBorasz A lot of P Model songs are really excellent. He continued making songs in P Model all the way until 1999, so there's no reason to ignore them all when there are so many that you might enjoy.

[sailingship108]

@HazugmondoBorasz Um, what? P-MODEL is excellent.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Simply majestic indeed. Much respect for Susumu Hirasawa.

[byRotation]

SUPER !!!

[kaaizam]

His voice is so beautiful, I really love his songs

Millenium Actress is a very great anime

[vapeur20]

Just one word: SUBARASHI. Thanks a lot.

[fromstart2finish]

i like how he stares blankly into space and sings like a one man symphony

[peppermint0419]

美麗で壮大

こんな歌が評価されないのはとても悲しくて恥ずかしいこと

[stjernefodt]

Is there anyone that compares to the greatness of Susumu Hirasawa?

Simply majestic.

[redmanclass05]

dont know whats going on but love it

[Kanashto]

wow hes soo melodic

[sora28387]

o.o i love this song soo much thankyou so much for posting the music vidio for it has so much depth to it

[AntohaPalich]

Просмотренно, одобрено. :) Good voice.

[SerasSempai]

Hirasawa is so cool~~!

I love his voice so much~~ <3

[wazawazayomuna]

とんでもないものを知ってしまったようだ。

そして知ってしまったからには、もう戻れない。

[windmil7]

omg thank you thank you thank you thank you I've been looking for this beautiful song.

[LittleDragonfire]

[sunwukong15]

This dude is cool. Somebody should buffalax this guy.

[K3NJehXD]

Check Niconico if you're looking for that.

[ChonosTack]

Civっぽいなｗ

師匠好きっす

[OinoAray]

I Love how unique and abstract his songs are...the first one i ever heard from him was "Yume no shime shinen kouen" from Paranoia agent. I dunno i get this flighty feeling every time I hear one of his songs...like i'm being transported somewhere else....lol im just weird i guess

[Frooilla]

I feel like that too!I first heard nigeru mono and it makes me feel like I'm standing on a hill with the wond around me ^__^ you get a realy happy feeling when you hear!

[OinoAray]

Lol glad im not the only one! I tend to get more of a feeling of being in the clouds^_^ His music is just beatiful. I just listened to nigeru mono. It made me feel happy and like spinning round and round like i did when i was a little gilrl in my big poofy dresses lol^^

[SilviaVonTeese]

for me it's the same :D I first heard The girl in byakkyoya... same feelings :D

[Surathan]

I also enjoy "Dream Island Obessional Park"

Such an odd name.

and Byakkoya no Musume is good too

[K3NJehXD]

That's called Hirasawa World, according to him.

[Surathan]

Son of a bitch, is that Susumu singing!?

[MJanicek007]

Kawai desne! I love so much his performance - this Hirasawa's song was the first I heard and I instantly fell in love with his music :-)

Hirasawa-san arigatou gozaimasu!

[tamales458]

when i heard this song at the end of millenium actrees i was OMG sounds awesome. since that date I`m a a susumu hirasawa fan. I love his new album "planet call roll" great

[Kaimeik]

Sugoi/ Самая оригинальная музыка ))

[Neeryhs]

He sounds like a REALLY hot guy.

But he's so old!

I love him. <3

[Chradnev]

His voice hasn't changed much as he's grown older.

[hermosotealonso]

Este clip me recuerda a un cuadro de Dalí es super ONIRICO!
