Ryuichi Sakamoto feat. Jill Jones -%- You Do Me (1986)

[philosoma9]

I know this is not 90 because great music like this can be only from 80's

[Udui1o1]

This song does not have any Indian words but is mixed in with Uchinaguchi Okinawan language which is indigenous to the people of the Ryukyus. The Three Okinawan maidens singing with him are the Original Nene's group in traditional katachiki kimono who traveled with him during the 80's to 90's. Again Sakamoto is using Okinawan folk songs which Ryukyuans have sung for years.

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Faaaabulous



[chucku00]

Forget all medics... this song is a real cure for everybody with something between and under the ears !

[adweb30]

not one of his best.

[jkshoujk]

LOL.

Someone go to his live performance of "Energy Flow".  Look at that. Now at this. Back at that. Yeah....

[chucku00]

@tongpoo1 Pitié, Béa est sympa mais ne la compare pas avec Jill ! Promets-moi de ne jamais recommencer ! Si tu ne piges pas, regarde "Mia Bocca" (réal : Jean-Baptiste Mondino, pas Jean-Jacques Beneix !).

[Kabla21]

LOL..sounds like bollywood music.haha..

[chucku00]

@Kabla21 You fuckin' moron wityh fuckin' acronyms !

[Kabla21]

@chucku00 and u r a big jerk..

[chucku00]

@Kabla21 Ouch, too much compliments from too much fans... I just can't stand it !

[chucku00]

@Kabla21 Do you have a limited typesigns bandwith on your Internet provider ?

Le T9 çaylemal !

[doom032]

@Kabla21 I'm not sure where you get that idea. Sure it's a bit off but it's nothing like Bollywood music.

[Kabla21]

@doom032 are you Indian?

[Kabla21]

@doom032 probably you are not..and you have not heard much bollywood number yet..:) Jenerally foreigners listen to only some typical music..but Bollywood music is much bigger that what you hear in other countries..I am giving you one example, you would understand the similarity between these two songs..

/watch?v=MmJeUoHgHdA

Listen to this..the beat and music is from this same genre..they are contemporary actually..

[doom032]

@Kabla21 Ah, you are right. I've only heard a few of Bollywood's songs before, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions. These songs are quite similar. Didn't think I'd learn something on YouTube's comment box, guess I was wrong!

[Kabla21]

@doom032 or may be this one..by A R Rehman---

You might be interested to know that one of the first albums that Sakamoto ever worked on, "Cochin Moon" (1978) by Haruomi Hosono, was based on Indian music, including Indian classical as well as Bollywood music of that era. "Cochin Moon" was the first album to experiment with fusing Indian music with electronic music.

You might also be interested to know that Sakamoto and his band YMO were the pioneers of electro and techno music, which later had a big influence on Bollywood.

[Kabla21]

@Jagged85 WOW..Thats really interesting information. :)) Its sad that some people reject a thought much before thinking over it. You information suggests that my intuition was right. :) I was hearing some Samisen music by Yoshida Brothers..they sound a lot like Carnatic music from south India. And the interesting fact is the word 'Cochin' from 'Cochin Moon' is actually a place in south India..if thats what it means( it maybe Japanese)..Links between oriental cultures are amazing..

[Jagged85]

@Kabla21

Cool, I didn't know Cochin was an actual place. I'm not too sure about who the Yoshida brothers are though.

Another parallel I would make is between Ryuichi Sakamoto and A. R. Rahman. Sakamoto was one of the most experimental musicians of the 70s and 80s, and won Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe awards. And now, Rahman is one of the most experimental musicians of the 90s and 2000s, and has also won Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe awards.

[Jagged85]

@Kabla21

Okay, I've figured out where those Indian-sounding chants come from. Sakamoto previously used those same chants in a song called "Laser Man" or "Calling From Tokyo" (used in the soundtrack to the Ridley Scott film "Black Rain"), which despite the name sounds like heavily Indian & Arabic influenced song. He used those same chants again for this song, though I'm not sure if he got them from Indian music or Japanese folk music (or both).

[AD49938]

I like this song, even I prefer thousand times the three japanese singers than Jill Jones...

[warriorbbd]

This was put down in 86, I stationed "at" MCB Okinawa (Japan). My Boy DJ Khachi & I DJ'd at clubs on "Gate 2" St. For those Who know "bout" that...hit Me up.

[hipshimmy]

OMG I havent seen this video in 2 DECADES! I never forgot this video when I saw it as a kid. It was one of the many things that made me wanna go to Japan and experience the culture.

[krissyrose14]

Funky bass line in this, catchy riff.

[SNKTHX2000]

Great song. She's very sexy as well.

[YvesIsaki]

LOL. This song is so funny. I jog to this at the gym.

[haikupuku]

"hesi yoh sanu ...hesi diky lasa." Is it not a mantra for one's limbic system? This is beyond all comparing.

[allseeingi]

Like the way the vocals are mixed in right at the start and can someone tell me what those ladies are singing. The production is awesome in an 80's way. Man knows his way around his gear for sure.

[BooksMusic]

[satalitesarespinning]

I think this is 1996

[hydao2]

nops. 1990.

[saturninenight]

This the "Froggy version", it's alright. The alternate is better.

[MalaTemporaCurrunt]

hawt

[hermarie]

Amazing! But Hot!!!!

[parachuteclubbed]

November 1989 or so. Sakamoto is a maestro. He could compose and perform the phone directory and it would be a masterpiece.

[GazamYT]

Uh, I think this was 1989 or 90. NOT 86.

[OrkelTree]

This is a very "gay" song. Wait, I meant that in a good way.

[FragMan69]

"Gay" songs rule.

[themoon1]

not a bad non-prince song by jill

[mignonhenne]
