ryuichi sakamoto - rain(live)

[sakuramiyakawa]

i'm watching this while it's raining outside lol

[tripleseven01]

your comments seem fake

[falgorian1]

This song is very complexed for being a "basic" composition

[koneko272]

So amazing~

[gtaproductionslive]

54 people need to be hugged, and shown real music.

[ascoltatoreful]

That's so amazing!!

[koooglemaccom]

YMO再結成はないですよね？まさか。。

[Karisma94]

Yeah I think he has one new fan even though I was looking for ryuichi sakuma Lol his music warms my heart

[MaguroSG]

Ryuichi Sakamoto is simply awesome.

[warchife6]

He's enjoying the sex at 1:59 :D

[davidoscanoa]

@warchife6 i lierally rewind that part like 20 times in a row and i high aaffffffffffffffffffffffffffff­fffffffffffffffffffffff

[mokpo]

이게 이 분 곡이었구나.. 알았으면 콘서트갔을텐데.. 희열 전율

[BonPhire]

sakamoto always reminds me of zelda music

[uran592]

indescriptiblemente......belli­sima

[basehead617]

his piano music always just sounds like tons of tin pan alley songwriting cliches + new age touches.. nothing interesting. his work with YMO is brilliant..

[GataMc]

muitooo bomm!Dammm!

[4l3xiia]

Great great greeaaaaaaat!

[showstopper617]

any haters fuck u how can u not like this

[ASKCONSULTING]

November 12 2011 i saw this genius play live in Milan and he played Rain, it was amazing!!!

[flandryx]

@ASKCONSULTING - I'm so jealous!

[nuriapereiramartinez]

cumtempore!

[SherdX10]

Ryuichi Sakamoto including Hans Zimmer are my favorite composers.

[duchessofpercy]

I have never heard of this performer until right now. I just stumbled onto this video while surfing You Tube and let me just say...WOW

Love this! I will be listening to all his music now.

[TheZiah1]

novemeber 1 2011 I saw this genius play live he did not play rain.. but still my heart aches for his music

[JordanBo0]

20 years later. This will be called as "Classic"

[aurus33]

Qué hermosura de veras!!!

[lceColdPoop]

so if something is not your cup of tea... you dislike it?

[foodlerfood]

I was surprised to find that the top comment for such a beautiful song was about killing people whose musical tastes differ from one's own. Sure, it's a joke, but it's a petty one at that, and I think Mr. Sakamoto would be appalled that his music elicited such a response. I really don't understand this youtube culture of people who take differing opinions as personal insults. Just enjoy the music you love, and embrace that fact that it may not be everyone's cup of tea.

[kolumb21]

GREAT <3 thank you

[DannggJay]

Ryuichi: Alright Time to play one helluh good song. -Whips hair.-

[XYZQG]

これを雨の日に聞くと最高！！

[kelagen]

The best

[paulostroff99]

Stunning music. Enjoy.

[Hunbeautilous]

what cant he do? he acts, composes, creates and everything... a man full of amazing-ness

[1234567Iris]

It sounds to me, as if piano and violin are talking to eachother. Listen properly and you may here ist too!

[gizaloveableful]

un emozione senza fine

[brandonpheng]

this music makes you feel like you are trying to chase after something but it is just out of reach...

[STONEBEADMAKER]

SEEING SAKAMOTO PLAY SOLO LAST YEAR IN SAN FRANCISCO WAS FAR BETTER THAN WHEN I SAW HIM PLAY WITH Y.M.O. A FEW MONTHS AGO.....AS A SOLO PERFORMER HE IS TRULY SUBLIME, ALTHOUGH I DON'T REMEMBER HIM SAYING A SINGLE WORD.......HE DIDN'T NEED TO.

[catgirl1234]

It is raining outside this very moment. God, music has never sounded so perfect.

*smiles* Time and place for everything, I suppose.

[antonis5784]

not impressed at al by the music.

[korosiya8]

@antonis5784 so?

[ReeginaJuli]

@antonis5784

I dunno if this is suppose to be news, but I suspect Yo might be deaf =( Sorry for yo loss

Sincerely //  the rest of us

[uran592]

maravillosa melodia con ritmo finisimo,sale uno cada 100 años,un prodigio de facultades,gracias por poder oirle.

[redcloudekr]

이건 언제 들어도...최고ㅜㅜ

[cicciodinonnapapera5]

great great great!

[viedospezialist]

i saw this concert tour in 1996 in zürich/switzerland and it was raining during the show. you can not imagine how impressive it was.

[derek4ur]

I've always been fascinated by falling raindrops. On rainy days, now, I put on this song, and watch the rain fall, and the experience is sort of overwhelming, but in a positive way. I am immersed in a "Rain Meditation." Oh, sure, I probably should be concerned that my credit card balance is over by about $46,000.00. "Hey! Don't RAIN on my parade!" Heh, heh.

Jesus Christ--I have wasted my life.

[tinamariamarongiu]

...e con il vento nell'anima i pensieri se ne vanno... TM

[frankthoen]

I love the minimalism in a lot of his pieces .. He doesnt want to be elaborate or pompostious..

[afar1031]

It's so charming......

[xVexOOOs123]

this is the rain song from fullmetal alchemist??

[senzabenza]

48 Allevi Fans?

[depressionmode]

he's joe hisaishi with hair! :DDD

[robertslistening]

I thought it was quite good. Lot's of dynamic variation. I find the best way to listen for the quality is forget about the visual and just listen to the clarity in the notes. I liked his chord strikes on the piano. Clean and no harshness in the sound.

It's funny I haven't noticed that many black violinists. Lot's of black keyboardists, horn players, singers, etc. Maybe there are more out there. Anyway, he seemed quite good.

[uran592]

sakamoto,wim mertens,andreas wollenvaider y algunos pocos son musicos, lo otro para las discograficas.

[sergysylv]

MINUNAT!

[TheLillyguitarist]

Is just a miracle to be music pieces like this!

[iGotSpaceLikeNASA]

running across any field in Zelda...

[mgmarg]

Es muy talentoso,:-D

[Bong10151]

I need 48 bullets

[GenomeSoldierDK]

[minioinmania]

[BlueSkyDaisukiAyumi]

[amdag1]

@Bong10151 add 10 to the five minutes after those murders

[cuoylyf]

Cool!!!

[freehee2]

Superb!

[crif73]

Meraviglioso e perfetto...



[Ninjacat160]

Ryuichi Sakamoto is the best, just as simple as that

[Cobasaja9044]

48 people misinterpreted "rain" with "rain man"...

don't worry, it just -Rain- ;)

[Ninjacat160]

Ryuichi sakamoto's music is the best I've heard in a long time

[kyleclef]

So beautiful. 

[idklolnow]

this music goes well with rain sounds

like this one :D /watch?v=AYw7eJYadco

[lcourage]

멋잇다... 

[Timmiiboy]

How could annyone dislike this????

[violetcasis]

Another master piece from the lovely musical genius Sakamoto Ryuichi.

坂本龍一さんの音楽を聴くたびに、いつも感動している.

[ummmmmmmm111]

The Violin (female) is like arguing with the piano (male). From time to time, the violin talks louder with the piano whining while the piano later becomes dominant with violin backtalking (which females are very good at). At one point they are tired of the instense fight but someone started it again. The qurrel continues furiously but in the end both find problems couldn't be mended. So they leave from each other in sorrow.

Music with imagery--> "I want a divorce"

[miah0kun]

@ummmmmmmm111 and the cello is the child, in the middle of it all.

[tamchungwah]

French SUX!!



[holland010]

hahaha...3650 like's and 44 dislike's. People are strange, Wouldn't you argee Mr. Johnston?

[Cosmicmadz]

I heard this on the movie "Last Emperor" and I really wanted to find out what the song was called... now I know! :D Love it!

[xrisku]

I just LOVE this song. I find myself singing it myself in the middle of the day...

[solidaritat1714]

Avui més que mai...enhorabona geni



[Jamrealjam]

ITS MONGOL MOTIF & SOUND

What an awesome, awesome piece from a true master.

[anitadanielsen1]

Mr. Sakamoto is a true Master. I am going to Berlin with my husband next week to see him perform together with Alto Noto. Looking so much forward to it! I have followed Mr. Sakamoto for about 25 years now, and he is the one composer and musician that continues to amaze me with his wonderful compositions. Mr. Sakamoto has my deepest respects.

[videorojas]

Bellisimo..! Musica que inspira... Casi pude ver toda una historia con ella... Gracias por compartirlo.

[geppocinzia]

tremo quando mi penso perchè temo quello che sono vorrei altro ma alla mia vita non posso rinunciare costretto vivo per questo sono entusiasta della sua melodia MAESTRO

[1Sergi985]

this is awesome

[selenity08]

I feel like I've heard this piece used in a korean drama.

[kaputasri]

43 people don't have hair like him. Thats the only reason for them to dislike this masterpiece.

[shertz92]

just incredible how ryuichi plays with his eyes closed!

[ettorepeda]

the power the hope the life the trouble pezzo magnifico perfetto unico

[shadowofthenever]

Why can't I have skills like that? Or hair like that...

[JellyPIg98]

the piano guy reminds me of carson clay in mr bean's holiday

[ricecloud1]

where can i find more sakamoto performances in high quality like this one?

[applegal3]

Before he starts playing this song, the way his hand go thru his hair is just stunning.

[luckeybunney]

@applegal3

there is something about the hair, definitely.

[derek4ur]

@applegal3 You have GOT to be kidding. There is no such thing as passing one's hand through one's hair in 'stunning' fashion. It is an act of zero significance and/or meaning. Does that image 'set your heart afire'? Man! That is creepy! And folks agree w/you.

Next job interview I have, I am going to pass my hand thru my hair "Sakamoto-Style"! The boss will end up calling ME "Sir" before y'know it.

I can't believe some of these comments.

ANYBODY can pass hand thru hair, dammit!!

[sunkist1000]

@derek4ur O_o Chill... I mean if people find it hot, doesn't mean you do. And if you don't, doesn't mean they don't as well. It's their own preference and if they find it hot, they find it hot. You can't do anything about that. No use getting worked up for nothing... Right?

PS: Your comment really was funny though... (Y) :DD

[derek4ur]

@applegal3 Yes, it is! You aren't easily impressed, are you? If he had simply thrown his head back to get his hair out of his eyes, you might have commented, "That was cool, but I wish he had had the seeds to run his hand thru his hair...." I am with you 100%--Sakamoto is not just a genius musician, but a masterful showman as well--he is the zenith of modern musical entertainment.

The 21st Centruy's version of Elvis Presley, as it were. Less is more, I say!

[SupersuperMuMu]

@applegal3 I noticed that. He did it like a BOSS.

[PC4TW]

Giant

clap clap clap clpa clap

Bravo maestro

[Tegolina2007]

anyone else but me who can't help crying when listenting to this music? Mamma mia! this guy is really amazing. if he didn't exist we should invent him! bravo bravissimo! che emozione!

[Nintenshi]

why does it keep going to an outdated version of windows?

[darkskyBAO]

his hair is like uncommon to typical pianist who always has "clean and formal" hairstyle. love that little messed up gray wavy hair hehehe

[mirandansa]

Sakamoto has always been innovative both musically and technologically. Back in the late 1970s and 80s, he contributed to the popularization of synthesizers, drum machines, sampling, etc., as well as of diverse ethnic elements. This particular show is from around 1996, and you can see he's experimenting with the earliest kind of internet live-streaming technology.

[LlTTLEKlTTlES]

Even if there may be the language barrier between the artists, they speak to each other through music.

[cherls15]

The other 40 people people obviously think that Lady gaga is a true genius

[voderick]

@cherls15

-Can you play piano like her?

-Sing like her?

-Make songs like her?



[cherls15]

@voderick Why would I actually want to put myself through the torture by immersing myself into anything that she "creates"?

[stoolsboy]

@voderick I agree, both are different types of music and I happen to like both. It's all opinions.

[mariaor1212]

A masterpiece!!

[LuluHeeNim]

cool hair!

[eddyrocks01]

why are there dislikes on this video those 40 people are dumb

[TheDallian]

Excellent composition

it makes you feel relaxed and also separated of this world... its like an oasis... in the middle of our problems...

thank you Ryuichi Sakamoto

[auntyena]

Wow 'joolzg' I must have had the same seat only it was in Sydney when he did the same tour! Never forget it ! I met him after the show!

[mithemovie]

39 people are deaf or idiots

[0KissMeOrDie0]

39 people were banging their heads with the beat of the piano thats why they accidentally clicked the thumbs down button.

[luckystar123147]

i abused the replay button..lol.

[emiebiemi]

名曲です。せつなくなる...。

[BritishConnection1]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the man and the music!

[staktika]

pray for japan !

[elie700]

Wow. This song sounds soo beautiful.

[blurose62]

avete presente quando le lacrime scendono senza un apparente perchè ?? Ecco.. come mi scatta l'emozione .. !!!

La musica queste note sono emozione pura.........

[vangstr4life]

He's pretty good..but i like joe hisaishi better :P

[kok4753]

genius....

[1AnnePanne1]

ah...the classic pianist coupe...

[ILL777WILL]

37 dislikes--they must really hate rain or something

[speedraptor]

@ILL777WILL :Just stupid idiots without taste.

[rodrigoconstantino]

@ILL777WILL looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­l

[hatihatikawan]

@ILL777WILL or they must be justin biebers fan

[derek4ur]

@ILL777WILL Calling it "Rain" makes it "programmatic," I believe. Maybe the dislikers felt his musical representation of Rain was way off the mark. Just a guess.

[shottto]

@ILL777WILL they're all from tom cruise

[80metra]

Sentito dal vivo è un'emozione indescrivibile...puro spettacolo!!

[sue1988er]

i cant stop listening this song since yesterday. WOW!!! Nothing more to say....

[TerryChoco]

ITS LOUIS FROM LEFT FOR DEAD XDXDXD

[yomomasboss]

You know your listening to a real genious when in a live recording not a single voice can be heard.

[Monicapfan]

His playing is simply marvelous.

[michsumer]

Realmente , digno exelnte un aplauso un grnde compositor mucha sensibilidad.

[otyaganomitai]

バイオリニストの後頭部からの映像にドキッとした。このアングル­から見るのもいいなぁ。

これを聞くと背後に迫る空虚感から逃げようとがむしゃらに走って­る姿が見える。本当に人の心が擦り切れていく様がこの短い時間に­凝縮されてると思う

[cheekybodacious]

woahhhh, I am impressed. he is the shiz! I wanna play piano like that :D

『ラストエンペラー』のこの『rain』も聴きたくて何度映画を­観たか判らない。

今までに歌詞のない音楽に惹きつけられるのは

坂本龍一さんの音楽とGUNSLINGER GIRL MAIN THEME。

[bigmanwhitesaint]

[ALanSaidTrujillo]

Quite simple for my taste

Fabulous piece! Sakamoto is Mozart of our time! I absolutely adore his music! Can hear it continuously, not wanting it ever to end... My finest compliments to Sakamoto - genious of music.

[phantom402]

Incredibly, this man knows how to play with a keyboard! A masterpiece of his finger work!

Hermosa, tiene mucho de nostalgia porteña!!!!!!!!!!1

[Frenchkisssss]

[Frenchkisssss]

@joemplascencia Yeah ! Italian and japanese have good taste . . And we (french) have good taste too because we love italian women . :)
