[kt02cx]

[KoochyWoochy]

[gucharossler]

Gatts kills six people!

[sorrowwrath]

In a sea of crappy music i know i can always turn to susumu for great music.

[LukaKanon]

[yoyorsp]

His live performance is incredible, he is a G E N I U S

[sai1746]

[Xsweetchamii005X]

i love this song .... ^w^

[Karami]

he's a musical god



[SayaRose11]

I want a concert between Susumu Hirasawa, Daft punk, and deadmau5 =)

[konarigato]

Hirasawa-san is A M A Z I N G!! This song is A M A Z I N G!! Paprika is A M A Z I N G! Satoshi Kon was the one of the B E S T!

I freaking love this song. Not a day goes by without me listening to that on my Ipod. But this concert performance... I'm mind-blown!! Exceptional voice indeed.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Amazing. Susumu Hirasawa is a genius.

[pheenix42]

I wish I could bring him to my university to perform!

[renjikuchiki1]

@pheenix42 man, if there is one thing i do before i die, it will be seeing this man live... and it will have been a life worth living just for that moment (and i am not kidding)

[TsuyoikoeKaika]

RIP Satoshi Kon, you were a GREAT director and artist. I loved Paprika. It was a great movie...I hope you lived life to the fullest while you were here...I hope you got everything you wanted out of life and have moved on to a better place.

As for Hirasawa-Sama...He has a very unique voice that just can be recognized no matter what...its just so amazing, he sounds like he is 25.

He is a very skilled singer. I know that for sure...Susumu Hirasawa, you're really something~

[JohnLufyros]

F*ckin Master Piece *w*

[noel0918]

平沢さんはホント綺麗なファルセットだな。

[ChronoKnuckles2]

He should have performed this song at Satoshi Kon's funeral.

It would have represented Kon's journey into Heaven.

[Tsubasa9981]

beautiful. 

[DJTripleFive]

Wish I knew the lyrics...

[foxao]

@DJTripleFive

watch?v=oqCdptfpaTA&feature=re­lated

Have lyrics

[DJTripleFive]

@foxao Thank you very much kind sir/madam.

[masanolink]

This song is not ''The Girl in Byakkoya"

This song must be "Byakkoya" it means ""White tiger oil field in Vietnam"

[HugenVonDong]

@masanolink You're partially right, this particular song is the paprika version called "byakko no" The original song name is baikai.

[GRTenorBass]

Dear god, he hits that chorus perfectly.

[jacktchance]

My taste in music changes constantly, yet I keep coming back to this song. I never get bored of it.

[joellyshooshoo]

@jacktchance me too!!

[dnbjunky04]

This is one of those songs that turns a bad day around.

[bakatonovip]

`ﾟ`:.;"ﾟ`いいぞぉ＾～これ＾～`ﾟ`:.;"ﾟ`

[Ramiel4]

Wow those are some fucking epic pipes he has.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Amazing. RIP, Satoshi Kon. Long Live Susumu Hirasawa.

[dakiro222]

This music is so very characteristic, very good to listen to

[rainyahoo]

This sounds seem to make me recall the dreams I saw many years ago.

[Foundlilly11]

I feel a big love for life when I hear this song :)

[SpandexTree]

Wow, you can't even see the red from the dislike bar.

[skinkintreeshade]

i do apologize for my request but may i have the name of the credits song i would like to listen to more of that.

[kyuubitailedfox]

Oh... My... God! That was AWESOME!!!!

[michellemchen]

The best

[CosmoCatKyoko]

I love this song so much. <3

[RioEllington]

Methinks his voice suits the song better than any other singer's or Vocaloid's. ;)

[jillianindept123]

When does he breathe!?!

<3 <3

[MangoCakesPro]

@jillianindept123 NEVER.

[SayaRose11]

@jillianindept123 He doesnt need to breath cause he that amazingly epic xp

[zakor33]

exquisite.. i tingle and my hair stands on end when i listen.

[polyphemos79]

ccc paprika siker ccc

[wssher]

Awesome song.

[Gwilliana]

@wada3rbi It means "Intoxicated and wondering why there is infinity and beauty" according to some lyrics i found somewhere.

[caramelcutie007]

such a beautiful song

Thank you for sharing

[lange19891989]

(^_−)−☆

[MirkwOodElf89]

what an amazing artist...!!Personal opinion: you can tell the significance of an artist by the way he/she performs live!And Susumu Hirasawa is absolutely breathtaking live(through youtube,so this x1000 must be the performance's real value..)...

[LauraMaetheCliche]

Suddenly I want to see a laser show at my local planetarium set to this song.

R.I.P. Satoshi Kon~ Thank you for your wonderful and inspiring works. <3

[Drayconic13]

I can't wait for the Dream Machine, Satoshi's final film. The development started before his death, but must be finished without him...

[MirkwOodElf89]

@Drayconic13 can't wait for it too!! From the title you can tell something surreal and magical must be going on..

[MissLoveTantei91]

@Drayconic13 Hirasawa is writing the soundtrack for the film. :' ] Shame Satoshi Kon will never hear it.

[sorrowwrath]

I'm 24yo and I always have a tear in my eye every time I hear this song and is it just me or every time I hear it I think of toy story?

[CupNoodles4319]

When he hits those high notes I absolutely melt ~.~

[Osuoa]

This guy is frigging epic

[4SHURelsa]

Thank you Susumu Hirasawa. You are what made Paprika, Paprika. You have reall out done yourself.

Satoshi Kon, your body and soul may have left this earth, but your love and memory will remain forever. Thank you, Satoshi, we are eternally greatful :)

[GamerSverige]

Awesome song to just lie back and dream to.

[fireflyillusion]

i love this song <3

[LovetteCher]

On an unrelated note, the way he tilts his head when he sings high parts (like Ano hi ya) is really cute. >_>

[friendly406]

@LovetteCher IKR! <3 I love that man so much T_T Lol.

[LovetteCher]

I remember reading somewhere "Yoiya naze ni mugen to bihai" (or close) and it being "Intoxicated and wondering about life". So, I assume it's a positive song.

[Meteotrance]

hopefully Hirasawa San is still alive and continue doing great music. RIP Kon Satoshi.

[LadyNekoshema]

one of the best singers i have ever heard, lol, i remember talking with my friend and we agreed, when you first hear hirasawa singing, you think he's some 20-something guy, what i mean is, he's got a very young sounding voice. love to see him in concert, would be so cool

[ItsSrsBzness]

Satoshi Kon sucked. Idgaf that he died. Every director is the same.

[101division44]

I have only three favorite Japanese directors: Akira Kurosawa, Satoshi Kon, and Hayao Miyazaki......PS: One of the best soundtracks ever....

[ultima209]

this song is just uplifting

[ShifTDigit]

I want to understand this song

[NAVEMAN3]

@ShifTDigit actually august but yeah we will miss him.

[JiNC00KiE]

<3333 T __ T

[Paorth46]

MY our memories help to expand a the wonder. I ask for help in passing on the word of this wonderous music. I for one am telling every one i know to search and watch all of the work of both Susumu Hirisawa and Satoshi Kon (My he rest in peace).

[Zodd381]

@Makoto3000

Ha, good to know I'm not the only one!

[Raikiande]

3:52 till the ending of this song is really giving me a emotional boost,,, my favorite part <3.

He really is my favorite artist ^_^

[evenyscrewd]

RIP

[ryoga316]

RIP Satoshi Kon. You will be missed.

[Tahir1199]

@ryoga316 yEAHHH Satoshi Kon RIP.

[NAVEMAN3]

@ryoga316 when did he died?

[ShifTDigit]

@NAVEMAN3 not long ago... May 2010 TT TT

[pengubaby]

@ryoga316 WUT! I just found him and he's already DEAD?

[InfectiousShroomKid]

@ryoga316 He finished writing a script and left directional tapes to Madhouse for his last film, which is being completed by them currently. The Dream Machine is english title.

[TehKillers]

O.o this song so cool, iam so excited !

[Ruohttas]

This guy does an excellent live performance!

[brleson]

susumu is god !

[sebastian122]

Just listening to this did nothing for me. When I saw him start singing, however, I was ready to marry him! The voice, the face, the clothes...perfect.

Oh, yeah...and the song's pretty good too. ;-P

[UniversalVision]

YOI ya NONDE jinruiiiiiiii geko biiiiiiiiiiiihaiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­ii... YOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[meimer2]

are the stuff in the very begging and the very end from something? they look like they are from a video game

[meimer2]

what is the stuff in the begining from? it looks like its from a video game.

[anime0neechan]

i feel sorry for all who don't know this song.

a.m.a.z .i.n.g

[plonkies]

the sentences at the beginning is so fucking gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shit

[joellyshooshoo]

wonderful performance, thanks for the upload

[haolihfaioefh]

I'm no singer, but I'm thinking that the breathing in this song must be a bitch to time properly...... never mind making the music at the same time like Hirasawa-sama is doing here!

[Sarahmint]

AUDITORY ORGASM!!!

[GreenBlossom45]

what 2dislikes O_O You 2 have no soul this awsomes i love he voice *-*

[sebastian122]

Anyone else think this is like techno enka?

[chica2022]

i love this song and the movie was amazing!!! Paprika is my hero!!!

[coldkungfukilla]

i noticed.... two dislikes..... LOL HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE THIS SONG!!!!!

[plonkies]

@coldkungfukilla now three... with me to not like this shit!!!!

[MentalMaladies]

That voice~

[JuggaloMori]

This is absolutely marvellous... This guy is truly brilliant.

[odubbs18]

man i would kill to witness this live in japan...

[mikihikoable]

I am so suprized that I know this song is not 「The girl in byakkoya」. Thank you! aneani san.

[aneani]

This is not a The Girl in Byakkoya.

is Byakkoya.

very different...

[sanzodono]

is it the same song at the end?

[Wydo1]

Where did you get this video? It's longer than the one on the CD.

[enigmalsd]

@Wydo1 in the official DVD Interactive Live Concert Byakkoya (2006). look in teslakite (dot) com

[ChesireUtau]

Kaito~ : D he's singing at the beginning : D lawl i is a dork yes?

[xXblaksakuraXx]

Oh gosh! This song sounds so awesome!!

Yay for Susumu Hirasawa♥

[mikihikoable]

何故歌詞が違うのですか？どなたかご存知でしたら、教えて下さる­と嬉しいです。

[aneani]

@mikihikoable これは白虎野っていう曲です

パプリカ用にこれを作り直したのが白虎野の娘です

[mikihikoable]

@aneani ありがとうございました！きっと普通の平沢進さんのファンの方達­にとっては常識だったのだと思います。おかげ様で疑問が解け、ス­ッキリしました。

[TheKingOfAwkward]

I really think a collaboration between Susumu Hirasawa and Animal Collective would seriously be a good idea.

[Selphiriia]

What was up with the weak response of the audience?

I would have been on my feet screaming cheers and crying.

[hiraikotsuember]

@Selphiriia The Japanese are generally...more contained during live performances, I've noticed. I think it's a cultural thing. (Something I greatly appreciate, due to not having to strain to hear the performer over all the spazzing in the audience.)

[SaikoTaiko]

This music and music video is trippy lol

Love it though.

[Cloud1856]

Awsome song!

[Shinjuko445]

He's awesome but he seriously needs more love!

[mrsmichelle21]

♥♥

[andXjusticeXforXall]

彼は天才です。素晴らしいアーティスト。;)

[tokyomarui27]

This song is included in my morning and evening routine. :) ***love** It makes me float in the air and wander through the universe. :)

[acidman0519]

もう今年で５６だっけか？凄いなぁ・・・

30年前からずっと音楽の方向性を変えず、ヒラサワソングを作り­出している

いや、もう方向性がどうとかいうのがくだらなく聞こえてくる

同じ創作家として尊敬するよホント

[piffyxP]

he has an amazing voice n__n

paprika was a great movie also.

[rethok]

At 3:03, it sounds like shes speaking mandarin chinese, hmmmm

[fixinman]

@rethok I have been told it's Vietnamese. She ought to know she is Vietnamese.

[namman]

oh wow i just wanted to confirm but at 3:03 that lady speaks in vietnamese. cool.

[segatasanshir0]

@namman lol idk i have heard people say mandarin, tiawanese, and vietnamese. but i only speak japanese and it is obvious fromt he rest of the song it is not. lol

[spitdevil1]

OMG this is GOLD!

[mrsnoo86]

i'm speechless xO

[murad0001]

Great song

Thanx

[ZeroBoyY]

I have learned all but one part of this song, I am proud of myself, now I just need a webcam so that I may sing it to the world! >:D

[segatasanshir0]

@ZeroBoyY lol i want to seee =]

[pheenix42]

One of those artists I hope to see live before I die!

[PraiseDivineMercy]

What do the opening lines "Yoi ya nonde jinrui geko bihai" mean? I'm pretty sure it's the undistorted version of what's said in the original song, but I have no idea what it means.

[chrisnorris1x]

"Intoxicated and wondering why there is infinity and beauty" Thats what is means.

[PraiseDivineMercy]

Thank you.

[ZeroBoyY]

I was told it was "Yoiya naze ni mugen to bihai"...and now i am confused T.T

[Sanzako13]

In the recorded version of the song that plays during and at the end of the movie, there are female vocals, and that's what they say. His vocals say "Yoi ya nonde jinrui geko bihai".

Hope that helps! ^^

[ZeroBoyY]

sank ye! :D

[segatasanshir0]

@ZeroBoyY that is right but i think it changes through out the song. like i think it is only that a few times.

[GenocideKommando1]

Thanks for uploading this. AMAZING. Subarashiiiiiiii

[xmiilhax]

sugoiiiiiiii!!!!!

arigatooooooooooo ♥

[BlahZayy1190]

can anyone tell me which live performance of Susumu's where the audience had to guide through a maze. (i think it was a maze, its been awhile since i saw it) but i wanna show it to some friends

[enigmalsd]

msg sended

[loki6223]

@enigmalsd >< that interests me can i get a link aswell??.....and it;s true this guy is a genius

[666Mariko666]

@enigmalsd can you do that for me, too, please?

[avalon1399]

Oh and know somebody, the name of the music tahat comes after "The Girl in Byakkoya" ?

[enigmalsd]

it is アティドゥーの番人 or ATIDOの番人.

it is from the "byakkoya live memorials", its length is about 8 minutes. the 'second part' of the song is a kind of instrumental version of the song called "the stillborn city" with some arrangements, from Byakkoya album.

[avalon1399]

thnaks verry much :)))

[avalon1399]

This is really perfect, excelent :))) Hirasawa is a master of sound and music :)))

[Brolly5]

The man is a musical genius.

[minhmy127]

"xin chào các bạn, đây là quê hương của chúng tôi, đây là tương lai của chúng tôi".

"Hi everyone, this is our homeland, this is our future"

the speech in the middle of the song is Vietnamese.

I don't know why composer puts it in the song.

btw, I love this film, this song, it always makes me feel better

[tenshimai]

I think the speech part adds a nice touch~

This song and Hirasawa is pure AWESOMENESS!!

[number07151129]

> I don't know why composer puts it in the song.

Because this song uses the history of White Tiger Oil Field, which is the biggest oilfield in Vietnam, as the motif, and sings a story which implies various things through it.

[StuffIsCool3blah]

is this an extended version?!?! I luv it!!!! Is there an mp3 for this!!!! <3

(Or do i hav to convert this?)

[charansanitwong24]

This is ORIGINAL version.

And from album Byakkoya, there is a free mp3 "The Westward of Time". Go to his official site "NO ROOM".

[tengoukaki]

吉祥寺第一家電でのライブ、「終末の果実」と「飾り窓の出来事」­に感動してから、早30年近くが経つけど、未だに世代を超えて歌­われる楽曲を生み出し続けるパワーは凄いと思います。名曲!

[jixxnrayne]

everytime when i hear this song it just makes me wanna dance!!!

[jixxnrayne]

and i dont dance!!!

[Umeavisby]

A great music and Susumu Hirasawa is a good composer. I love.

[Umeavisby]

Une grande musique et Susumu Hirasawa  est un bon compositeur. J'aime.

[setokaibalover25]

My husband and I got married to this song last year in December.... <3

[gyeofhell]

Congratz!

[setokaibalover25]

Thank you. <3

[shikesan]

@setokaibalover25 u r cool!

[PhenomWoW]

Ever since i watched Paprika, i cant get the music out of my head. The soundtrack was just so damn good.

Yoiya naze ni mugen to bihai....word...

[pheenix42]

I wish we could get this performer to do a show at the university I work for...I'd definitely take vacation time to catch his show!

[donkonishi]

衰えを知らない師匠に感服。持田さんに聞かせてあげたい。

[Umeavisby]

Je suis d'accord avec vous.

[TTKMKaizen]

Can you check those lyrics for me? There are two versions of this song and I think the lyrics provided are for the other version.

Still, 5 stars for effort ^_^

[charansanitwong24]

Just google, "Live Byakkoya".

There is still the site of Live Byakkoya, and it has English "Story" page.

[charansanitwong24]

Something like that.

His Interactive Live has RPG like story that have good end and bad end. And audience's action is trigger for developments of different stories and different performance.

This is one of bad ends in LIVE Byakkoya.

In good end, you can see Sigma 12's face:D

[GrandAdmiralVera]

i love his voice! such an awesome song <3

[clinicalunsadness]

the very minute i finished paprika i ordered the ost. and this was, without a doubt, my favorite track. but i would never have imagined it had been performed live!

he really is amazing. thanks for uploading.

[Sventevith]

It's amazing that Hirasawa is in his 50's and still keep such a youthfull voice and creativity.
