m-flo / been so long

[3210atoz]

結局lisaがいちばん

[fikihngu]

気持ち悪い韓国人がパクってたけど、やっぱオリジナルの足元にも­及ばないな

[ache512]

@fikihngu VERBAL is also Korean. This amazing song was made by Japanese and Korean!!!

[shingoukieh]

great song horrible video..video is so bad..i mean for a video made in 2000

[Margatroid]

@shingoukieh They probably had hardly any money for it. I think it's pretty fun for a low budget video. Still, it is pretty funny how you can see the cameraman's shadow in some parts.

Incidentally, does anyone know what city they were in?

[shingoukieh]

@Margatroid the slums of shibuya proly

[idatenfunk]

この年代ってビートの音色といい空気感といい　すげー好き

[qinkoae]

i love miliyah kato version :P but it's real: original version is always best ^^

[rapsberry2u]

当時小学生で、誰が歌ってるわからなかったけど

ずっと耳に残っていました。

今ではリサ時代のm-floが好きでたまに聞きます。

１０年前の曲とは思えないですね。

今までにない新しさがあるけど

なんだか懐かしい感じがします。

[ESatuu]

original is best!

[SHINeeingSuJu]

anti kpop-fangirl brought me here :))

[sanagi8510]

昔も今も最高

これから先,何十年が過ぎてもきっと色褪せることはない



[kuriponshinjuku]

これ初期の２寺に入った曲で、なんて切ないんだろうなんて思いな­がら、繰り返し何度もプレイしました。m-floという名前を知­ったのは、それから暫く経ってからのことでした。

[starprincess07]

Love this!!!!!!! but I am DBSK girl so I do love JJ & YC version but man original is amazing!! What happen to good music like this? *sigh*

[os1031os]

超いい。最高。

[sarahgomezish]

JJ&YC brought me here

[GaSuSt]

woo *q* is fantastic i love it 

[aerfg67]

車の教習所に行って最後の卒検で落ちてしまい、へこんでたときに­ふとこの曲を思い出して何回もリピートして聞いてました。この曲­に励まされて勇気がでました。次の卒検は絶対合格するぞ！！

[wind1o3f4shonan]

これこそラップ！

ってかんじの曲。

街歩きによさそう（笑

[narugasankai]

たしかこの曲とflojackってビートマニアＤＸに収録されて­いたよな？

[tadaaskan11]

Lisa looks like an Asian male with sunglasses on...

[tadaaskan11]

街はボストンかな

[maimail]

@tadaaskan11 ボストンだよ

[maimail]

@tadaaskan11 ボストンだよ

[maimail]

@tadaaskan11 ボストンだよ



[PopnPlayerJazine]

@akiratrooper IIDX introduced me to this song and M-flo. To this day I still love them both. I wish I could play it too, but it's a license so Konami wouldn't revive it.@ Jl0vely I think it's all verbal. It definitely is verbal's voice but I think one scene shows him with glasses and the other without.

[akiratrooper]

I wish I can play this in BeatmaniaIIDX, too bad it's just on 1st Style/Substream

[JL0vely]

who is the other guy rapping? taka?

[saitouitilow]

やっfぱm-floでしょうｂ

ドラマで知ったこの曲。当時、CD売ってなかったし、m-flo­何それと言われたのを思い出すｗ

[kazu7771]

懐かしい！！

学校卒業して都会に出て慣れない会社にへこんでた時、毎日このア­ルバム聞いてたな。かなり助けられた思い出があります！！

ちなみにまだ同じ会社に勤めててそれなりに頑張ってます！！！

[ichibakudan]

LOL at verbal in this video!

[silvergrym]

Man I feel old. I remember listening to this song as a senior in highschool! Good times, good times.

[underbrabra]

did they film this in boston???

[MrTimmyDee]

That was Verbal 'lipsyncing' Lisa's part? Sweet.

[KOJI452014]

曲もPVも最高。今も、こんな泥臭い曲が生まれてほしいぜ！

[xiandrian]

great song xD but crappy place to be rapping at XD

[Czirro]

I'm from the Boston-area, I can tell this Music Video was filmed in Boston. Does make me very nostalgic, actually.

[JULIANFRESAN]

what a great piece of shaiit!!

[Lisasingasong]

beautiful song and special voice, that's all !!

[ClestPryde]

I love Lisa's voice in this video...

but where the hell is she now?

[doda9ilovegackt]

maybe im a dbsk biased...but i like JaeChun´s version the most xDD

anyway, this song is awesome, both version are cool ^^

[vickyg51]

JY did a remake of this song as a tribute, so why is everyone comparing? M-flor fans should be honored.

[rubietheone3]

Lisa is hot dressed like a boy ! great vocals at 3:50 - 4:08.

[mattsladey111]

WOW. That really is oldschool M-Flo.

[Katamariandme]

This is classic M-flo. I like the M-flo love albums but they can't beat their first two albums with Lisa.

[Everobe]

I just saw the cover (I have no idea who sing it) and did not like (just my opinion, don't kill me for that). M-flo rocks, and this song is amazing!

[dalucifer0]

DBSK fangirls will never admit that VERBAL can rap not circles, but galaxies around Micky Yoochun.

[Bootz4d]

@dalucifer0 As much as I love Yoochun (and DBSK), I have no problem admitting that Verbal's rap is way better than Chun's. Micky adds this cool new age swag to His Jaejoong's version but the 90's feel in the orginal rap beats that. :)

[TakashimaMiyatsuki]

@dalucifer0 I'm a DBSK fan (Micky fan though), and I think is about likes... I love rappers, and I think Micky is a really good rapper, but of course there are a lot of rappers that rap faster, or whatever, have u listen Outsider? XD

Anyway, I like this version, and JaeChun's ver too ♥

[ladylaurita2008]

@TakashimaMiyatsuki Do you even know what RAP is? Micky should learn something before he makes things like this.. However, Outsider sucks hard too. I bet Micky...MOUSE can rap better than YooChun

[TakashimaMiyatsuki]

@ladylaurita2008 HAHAHA XD ok... I can't talk to haters, people like you are way to subjective

[vickyg51]

@ladylaurita2008

JY did a remake of this song as a tribute, so why is everyone bitching? M-flor fans should be happy and honored. And nice hyperbole, but I doubt micky Micky MOUSE can rap better than Yuchun, much less rap at all.

[vickyg51]

@dalucifer0

I'm a fan girl, and I can admit that. So, I guess I just proved you wrong. No one is hating on here. JaeChun did this as a tribute, so why is everyone bitching? Just look at the vid, since thats what its there for, and support m-flo your own way, but don't hate.

[14prm]

What city were they in?

GREAT SONG too, btw <3

[treestar]

anywho....another awesome joint by M-Flo wooo~

[treestar]

OMG LOL at some of these comments man! smh...

give credit where its due...BIG respects for the original but ya'll got to admit Jaejoong and Yoochun's cover was damn good despite it being a little more popish lol

Of course Jaejoong doesn't sound like Lisa..he's not a woman but his singing is great...those two did an awesome collabo for MFlo's Trib album and I'm sure they were proud of the cover ...so yeah! be easy haters! peace!!

[trigun52]

lol my nigga verbal got that early 90's new jack swing swag..lisa killin it to..this my jam

[obama773]

BLoodS

[anabifire]

the classic of j rap

[feedmewired]

いつ聞いても色あせない…

[imymemytube]

やっぱり、mfloはこの曲が一番いいよね♪

[yunjae11]

i like JaeChun'ver ^.^

[Bootz4d]

This song is so r&b 90's, I love the nostalgia it creates because of that against the version Jae and Yoochun made, it stands on it's own but because I'm DBSK biased, I like there's a bit more. But this version is beautiful.

[akshio]

懐かしいー。手に入れたこの曲のプロモ用CDを擦り切れるほど？­w 聴いたっけ。やはりm-floは この曲が一番。^^

[SollieBaas]

lol made in 2000 looks like its made in 1980

old scuru

[7LoveJustS]

M-Flo is gangsta!

[IAONGL]

wow, the mv is so weird compared to the ones now. i like her voice. jaechun's version is great too! but of course they couldn't have made it without this one! ^^

[mirioticdbsktvxq1321]

i like the new version better

[risa0606]

kohzikさんへ　まじ知りませんでした。ありがとうございました。

[yukanethowawa]

懐かしい感じはするけど、全然古くない！！

やっぱ曲。

[mocciye]

yeah, this song has been my favorite for so long

[risa0606]

質問です。めがねを掛けていないひとは誰？

[KOHZIX]

@risa0606 え？ネタですよね？めがねをかけていない人はVERBALです。

[groovy456]

青春だぜ！

[naomixi703]

I miss you!! Kaz!! From Nao...

[hayasi1991]

sokorano ratura toha

wakega tigau!

[astropteri]

M-flo and Lisa make this song have the scent of a little flower : gentle yet a lil bit strong ( by their rap ).

Jejung and Yuchun from Tohoshinki make the song have the feeling of the mixture of Jpop + US music by Jejung feminine + strong voice and Yuchun strong rap.

I think both versions are good. Since I'm a fan of Tohoshinki, I adore Jejung and Yuchun's ver.

But this version is brilliant! Original is always best.

[lemontree011]

I like both versions, only because they grasp a different feel when you listen to each of them.

In the end it's a matter of tastes and what you're in the mood for.

[ladyjosephinelover]

the audio is bad it's like really low

[alanisan12]

the rapper is great,personally i think the girl's voice is too soft,she sounds a lot better when she raps,i find it weird to hear a soft tone in the song

[MrHuntingHawk]

can this guy make something NOT good!?

lol shit he rocks!

[horikitty4ever]

I love this version so much!

It makes me fall in love!

I love Jaejoong and Yoochun's version as well, but I think this one is the one that made my heart melt[:

[ANGeLnHeRo]

my view is jaechun version is better!

[JCluvssrk]

i completely agree with you...even though i like this version too...i mean its the original....ofcourse its good...but jaechun's version just sounds more fun...and jaejoong's voice is also stronger than the female singer's...so it projects more during the song...

[bluekazuma]

orginal period

the interglactic cd was probly the best collection of m-flo's songs personally

also lisa is a goddess personally i dont think a guy could replace her

shes on par with michiru and misia hikaru in the english vocal department

also i just listened to the Jaejoong & Yoochun version its not bad but guys just cant get those octaves yah know and thats what im about

[kyasuriindesu]

Let's just get it straight. Originals will always be the best. Covers and remakes, will come out second, but it doesn't mean they weren't good. No need to write paragraphs on this.

[horikitty4ever]

Agree with yah!

[yusan2]

LOL@ the arguments x) people saying JaeChun "raped" the song? O.o wtf? Their cover SHOULD BE DIFFERENT compared to the original, obviously. If they meant for JaeChun's version to sound EXACTLY like the original, then why bother making a cover at all? What would people say about JaeChun's version then had they sung the song just like the original?

"no originality" "copycats" "just pretty faces" =LOL?

Get over it people; JaeChun did it for m-flo's tribute album. Both versions rocked.

kthnxbai.

[Notebookchic2]

lol,who da fuck said they 'raped' it?

I like both.=D

[yusan2]

@Notebookchic2 LOL ikr? x) I dunno but some person down there at the bottom.. can't remember who anymore lol

yeah~ both versions are <3

[Notebookchic2]

Haha,I know....JJ and Micky went hard on this song.=D AKTF

[yusan2]

Oooooh~~ so this is the original!! :D lol~ the girl's parts ARE high LMAO JJ said he had trouble singing them coz he's a dude x)

don't blame him hahahaha~ love them~ <33333

[aurorawxy541]

ummm, 2 versions have different styles^^

[Ria313]

I like both versions i just think that Jaejoong song the girl's part better (I think her name is Lisa) just because his voice is a bit stronger than hers. But this version is good.

[Seraphim9tailsfox]

See, the thing is, i like this version, but i like da DBSK ver too. DBSK did NOT "rape" this song. when i saw the comment, i was all "Wtf?" becuz, seriously, wat the godda*d fu*k? DBSK rox, so don't hate. jeesh.

[risa0606]

ほんま、かっちょええ。

[frankieyim]

好好聽 ^^ ~

[nipaosbeat]

to those of you who think the new version that's sung by two members from TVXQ is better than this you gotta check out Kato Miliyah versin called For So Long it's really GOOOOOOD

[Shaosient]

Seriously, guys. Do you really think that JJ and YC butchered the song? Think about it, is it because they really suck, or is it just because they are from a boy group?

Remember? It's a cover. Originals are always better, because they have originality. But that doesn't mean that covers should be described as 'rape'.

And please, they did the cover for M-flo tribute album. Remeber that.

No reasons to quarrel about this matter right here. What I see is a m-flo video, not Tohoshinki's.

[DopeSpace9]

you guys are trippin. some boy band cover will never compare to the greatness of the original.

[fkvnswpfhj]

TVXQ's version is good..it's ok...but the this original rules!

[kiwhatkioracing]

agree!!jaejoong ruined lisa's great part

while yoochun seems better for me,but i love 2 of them

[kiwhatkioracing]

i don't know why even the vid looks like old it's good!!

lisa is amazing

hope soulmate can also make the mv for this song..surely wil be good~~

[chanelprincess16]

duh it was made in 2000,wow when i was in 4thgrade

[irmakaneli3]

JaeJoong totally raped Lisa's parts -__-

Micky in the other had was surprisingly good

[ManiaticxDoll]

For me the both are amazing! *-*

[sakuraheartss]

Love this song. ^^

I love Soulmate's cover, too, but the original is always better. :]

[teriyaking13]

a lot of people who like the cover tend to like the singers cuz of their looks and stuff.lol

but just vocal wise, LISA's chorus and Verbal's rap is better than the cover.

[Aqah]

That's a wide generalization. maybe you hold a bias against their vocal abilities BECAUSE they're pretty?

and of course, nothing can beat the original, but I think the boys did a great cover. different feels to both songs.

[irmakaneli3]

agree

[Demimin91]

just because soulmate made a poppish version doesn't mean its better, just still love m-flo's version :)

[chronicle2007]

Luv M-Flo

this song is melodic

[AkatsukiReimeiAi]

Haha don't forget that this version came out in 2000, nine years later of course Micky and Jaejoong's version will be more fresh :P I love both versions.

[ShiYing09]

this song originally by them ? O.O soulmate version did a better job ^^

[lemontree011]

Both YC and JJ and M-Flo, bring this song to different styles, I love them both!

[sk8tergal995]

JAECHUN FTW :D

sorry maybe im just biased :/

[yukishiroyuzuki]

<3

Love both m-flo version (the chorus part) and Soulmates version ("double J YC" xDDD) :"D

[Deedlith]

jaechun sound more emotional :)

[LollipopRei]

Classic♥

I love JaeChun's ver. too they bring a very different feeling to the song~~^^

[drinktheinspiration4]

the original will always be the better piece.^_^

but i love soulmate's version too. very very catchy.^^

[awesomeemelissaa1]

i like dbsk version :)

[lorilei18]

Jaejoong & Yoochun's version is good, but I'll always love the original. <3

[shinaxsheen]

yup, me too!

but this song is nice too ^^

[fallingpetals6]

I love this song, the beat and style is very, nostalgic? haha I really like it :) I loved when Jaejoong and Yoochun covered it too.

[mmph92]

me 2 ..jj n yc cover is much fresher much more refreshing haha

[Takarai1]

This song is a pur classic, i love it !

[duaci36]

Its really catchy. Adorable song. ;]

But it looks like an old MV?

[chronicle2007]

เพลงเพราะ ออกเสียงญี่ปุ่นได้ชัดเจนดีครับ­

[leoufdu38]

JAPANESE G-FUNK !

[cybermegane]

リサがいたころのエムフロが大好き☆

[Fuzzyfeelin]

i can't stop listening to this. this is how songs in the US used to be way back when...i'm addicted to the sound.

[chiradee]

totally agree with u...

[kotarokitty]

やっぱリサがいたころのエムフロが好きだなあ～。

[Negativezero55]

Hmm, this did look like NY until I noticed the truck with a 508 area code, googled it and it shows "Worcester, Massachusetts", so definitely MA

[TheMasterFury]

Memory serves, Verbal went to college in Boston, Massachusetts area (Boston College I think). This was probably shot while he was there

[TheMasterFury]

By the way, nice catch! I'd never noticed that before.

What annoys me the most.. was that I WAS LIVING IN BOSTON-AREA MASSACHUSETTS around that time.. And to think I could have met Verbal and M-Flo.. damn damn damn. lol

[Progamer2003]

They weren't that big back then, so I doubt you could recognize them if you just casually walked past them.

[nitori1134]

If this was shot in the US, where in the US?

[yoshi28]

I know this song by heart and my Japanese isn't even that good yet. Easily one of my favs. M-flo really opened me up to Japanese culture.

[Luvanov]

me too! its one of the reasons i started studying japanese XD

[JeisonKen]

Same here man! I memorized Come Again and Tripod Baby.

[pjy1979]

looks like nyc

[sangseoulnysimin]

I wonder where they shot this MV in the USA???/

I can't tell...at all

[JIMTSE1]

Respect!!!!

[senjisen]

この頃のバーバルさんもかっこいい

[tubefed]

when i first heard this years ago,  liked a lot don't need to really understand, cause it flows :)

[ubercraz007]

Same here. Most Japanese hip hop I listen to flows so well and the beats are something I can just jam too. I love the soul/R&B style beats that don't sound depressing.

Also, filmed in the US? Hell yes. Shame that Lisa split. Rumors are that she may come back.

[AvengerX13]

I like Japanese rap better than American Rap. hip-Hop is dead over here. But Japanese can do it so much better.

[ubercraz007]

It's not dead, just not in the mainstream. There are a lot of good artists that no one knows about. The beats are nothing like the japanese artists, but they are so good.

[Negativezero55]

hit da nail right on the head, I'd rather import an m-flo recode at $30 than spend $10 on this crap in NY.

[chaosdarthriku01]

OMG Verbal has no sunglasses on

[feelhermind]

Funky!

Lovin' the old-school m-flo PVs!

[gooner140408]

マジ癒される

[chinitoboy28]

nice! its good if you disabled all your embed so that youtube didnt disclaimed you.. and deleted your account..

[petoi]

this is avex's official m-flo youtube channel, so it won't be deleted

[onomuu]

GOOD!
