[kbfirepagan]

This dude rocks!!!!

[LordWedgewood]

omg this movie is absolutely awesome! Pure class, genius, and this guy does more than play his part. What a powerful unforgettable movie!!!

[MrLennox86]

der beste teil im ganzen film !!!!

[entcrd]

great - i was seeking it 2 years

[BRANSCOMBEx]

its more meaningful that i cannot understand it..

[SithianHawk]

This movie hits me so hard. I don't even really know why. It is just the darkest and most horribly depressing, nihilistic mess I have ever seen. A truly under-appreciated landmark of cinema genius. I'll never recover from the first time I saw Izo. When I think about it, I feel this crushing loneliness and just want to find someone to hold onto. Truly remarkable. Both the music and the filmwork.

[TheMasturCheef]

he is a genius and definetely whan of the best musicians i ever saw! love it.

[sustn]

my fav movie, i love it so much

[wooboy11]

i think the movie requires too much of a artistic theater-like taste, which i don't think i have.

it's a good movie, i suppose, if you consider the art only.. but uh, kazuki's the man.

[Benjahmmin]

i dont know what i have to think about IZO its between totaly brilliant and absolutely sick but this guy still impress me!!!

[crazimelissaness]

amazing.

[mormegil2]

The movie was unbearable, but this guy is the man.

[bachleelhcab]

lmao. this guy was so random in the movie. i luvd him. everytime we heard music my friend and i burst out laughing jus cause he was there.

[Manusturbo]

"This guy" fucking MADE the movie, dude!

[bachleelhcab]

[Noapokoni]

[Kruzan]

[in5secs]

This is just amazing! Thanks for the upload, even though I already bought the movie :P

[LoneWolf310]

lol i fell in love with this guy (no homo)after watchin IZO the other night, he really sings and plays with passion when reading about this movie they mentioned an "acid folk singer" so i thought hed be like a Japanese Bob Dylan but i never expected this lol he blew me away, now im thinking about going to pick up some of his stuff to listen to, oh yea this movie was wayyyyyy to freaky for me, but that IZO is one BAD MOTHAFUCKUH! lol Bob Sapp was cool too ;)

[bachleelhcab]

BOB SAPP! lmao luv that guy...

[hiramtrujillo]

Anyone knows where to get the lyrics of this guy?

[IIIVia]

tomokawa is a real japanese!

[twoedge123]

Love the way he sings! Reminds me of Tom Waits in so many ways. Great movie too, IZO.

[muertesadica]

miike y kazuki tomokawa, no existe mejor combinación para emocionarme

[ark80]

a new spring will come,

they say.

but for me it is bitter.

what's this new spring for?

my child will not come back.

in that moment you stood truly

amidst the light of this world.

you stood there and you only stared,

amidst the light of this world.

amidst the light of this world.

[ark80]

only the deer,

that i showed you in the end,

you silently stared at.

did their antlers fascinate you?

did their antlers fascinate you?

in that moment you stood truly

amidst the light of this world.

you stood there and you only stared,

amidst the light of this world.

[ark80]

a new spring will come, they say. but for me it is bitter. what's this new spring for? my child will not come back. it was in may of this year. on my arms i carried you to the zoo. i showed you elephants, you where whining. i showed you birds, you where whining.

[mediet]

@ark80 touching, is that all text ?

[ark80]

ok, here's my very rough translation. made it from the german subtitles of the german izo DVD, so don't expect correct grammar ;)

i must split it, the text is to long for the comment field.

[Benjahmmin]

@ark80 ui du hast dir den film in japanisch mit deutschem untertitel anguckt? solt ich vltl auch mal machen^^

[lezvarthok]

@Benjahmmin Die unterschiedlichen Übersetzungen sind , wie ich finde , lohnenswert für den Neugierigen . Auf japanisch ists eh noch mal n bissl besser.

[enkcrypt]

Nice scene from Miike's IZO - thanks for upping!

[omulrosu99]

where could be found lyrics in English by tomokawa?

[svonco]

best fucking idea for a soundtrack in a film and amazing songs!

[EDDIECMF]

hella funny i love miike movies

[TheEnigmaticRonin]

Izo, is one of the best japanese movies!

[spkru]

Awesome song

[xcommander]

The english song's title is "Spring Comes Again", which could be found on Tomokawa's album "Sky Fish" (japanese title "Sora No Sakana"). It is the first track.

[Beetoe]

Is this from Izo by Miike, the movie?

[yugen]

yes from the movie izo, by miike

[yugen]

english subtitles would be nice
