Susumu Hirasawa - Niwashi King

[fhee]

Seriously, how can you dislike it? Its The Susumu Hirasawa's song!

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

Here is a better translation, most refreshing. I work King, without rest king, not until everyone has enough translations on everyone's computer.And with the help of words i convey my satisfaction in sharing whatever i have with all beings.

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

Hirasawa Susumu - "Gardener King"

The first sweep resounds in the source of the rain

And with the second sweep, I learn the rage of the sea

With three bountiful blessings, I find lodging in this world

And fence in the four directions with the help of magic

Without rest King

I work King

Until there is enough of everything in everyone's garden

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

@Sheemadda10Virtues After one sleepless night's study, I know the stars of this world

And at the second dawn, I listen to the song of the sun

In the fields of the past, present, and future, I become the father of all things

And with four pillars I prop up the sky

Without rest King

I work King

Until there is enough of everything in everyone's garden

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

@Sheemadda10Virtues Blow greatly, oh Wind most refreshing

Fill my shirt until it billows tightly like a sail

Blow greatly, oh Wind, through the vast sky* of the human body

Work, Gardener Without rest, King

I adorn myself with the pride of a single ear of rice

And with a two-character word,** I carry out an act of piety

As I walk, I discover my own name at my third step

And I let you repose on the throne of the fourth step

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

@Sheemadda10Virtues Without rest King

I work King

Until there is enough of everything in everyone's garden

Blow greatly, oh Wind most refreshing

Fill my shirt until it billows tightly like a sail

Blow greatly, oh Wind, through the vast sky of the human body

Work, Gardener Without rest, King

*The word "sky" is written as 宇宙 or "outer space/cosmos" but sung as そら or "sky."

[Sheemadda10Virtues]

@Sheemadda10Virtues ** The "two-character word" may be 南無 (namu), a Buddhist term that comes from the Sanksrit namas or namo. It means something like "I believe" or "Amen."

(Special thanks to a certain Chinese fan who pointed out 南無 to me! ^_^ )

[niuzhi]

@Sheemadda10Virtues I remember that last April or so I took part in a conversation about the lyrics of this song at the green chat. Nickname Cano/犬風船 there.

Seems that the chinese fan might be me =D

[hentaisexfreak4life1]

awesome tune here wow incredible indeed

[AkaruiTori]

Such pure and gentle song. :) Hirasawa's magic made my day once again.

[forceretie]

he's one of the people I would choose for that question where they ask you to pick any five people (dead or alive) to have dinner with you or whatever. he's my hero...

[Crosonical]

I'm not on drugs, I'm just listening to Susumu Hirasawa. It's basically the same thing but without the negative side effects.

[xteam1234]

Susumu and his magic made me ready for my driving exam, and me able to pass it!

[vitalevur]

@xteam1234 :D yep his songs somehow inspire and make peace as if its mothers song to a child except it works when were grown well I'm 23 thats grown right? XD

[TheGoatherdGod]

my 2 year old daughter is addicted to this song, she wants to listen to it all day all time.

whenever i want her to come running i just need to play this one

[RioEllington]

I cried.

[frogbs]

[ThornSakura]

Holy fucking tits this is SUPERB

I love it. I would buy this anyday. Respect for this man.

[Juno36]

You know, when I first heard this song, I wasn't moved. I went on to another Hirasawa song, and kept going. But, as I was getting off for the night, I decided to give it another listen. I was blown so far away, I think I might be typing this from the future

[huta1993]

I have loved songs written by HIrasawa, and now I hope this song will reach all "King the Gardener" that are working for rebuilding place damaged by "East Japan Disaster".

[snaplope]

That picture used to be my background. Creepy.

Anyway, Epic. Just... Epic.

[MrGuitarMix]

I hear it again and again. Its just awesome.

[MrGuitarMix]

Oh my god.I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[demonkai76]

man this dude is like the angels voice of Asia or somethin...his music makes me want to travel to thailand, china & japan...er somethin...love the sound...

[SybilianShade]

That's a warrior's song!

[daikikou]

@SybilianShade NO! That's a Song of landscape

[SybilianShade]

@daikikou

Well..yeah maybe.. my comment was sorta like when Worf said that a prunejuice was a warrior's drink. Trekkies will back me up on this one hehe.

[TheArabassist]

@SybilianShade silly targ...;D

[Gueccio]

ive been around china and near tibet and i can say this is very tibetan like music, they listen to stuff like this all day on their carpet motorcycles hunting yak and stuff. they dress like scavengers spiritual fighters. lots of them got some gold teeth for some reason

[KentButterworth]

powerful stuff

[gengar77]

absolutely beautiful....sounds like a mix of chinese,japanese,mongolian,sib­erian tribal etc....invokes a sense of mysticism!

[kibasama1]

Since I found this song, I can't stop listening to it! Such a wonderful voice Susumu Hirasawa has, if only I could see him preform live on stage sometime. ^_^ But wonder where you could download this song?

[TheFuryLivesOn]

@screaminmadmurphy and only two dislikes.

[headphones95]

This song is for that moment when one remembers one is God within :)))))))))))))

[headphones95]

I wish i could sing like he does just so I could share joy and wonder of being alive with others and evoke the same in them

[headphones95]

Best song in world !-)

[EdBogie]

Woah, this is incredible. What genre would this fall under? I don't think I've ever listened to anything quite like it. Makes me want to learn Japanese all the more. ^_^

[pheenix42]

@EdBogie Hmm...if I had to make up a term, I'd have to say 'waking dream techno' or something to that effect!

[NobleFantasm]

言葉の選び方が酷く美しい。こんな音楽があるのだと、啓蒙された­気分です。

[fromstart2finish]

[michiel987]

One person doesn't like the Niwashi King...

[danielle111115]

their are no words to discribe the feeling of this song. it's allways new, no matter how many times you listen to it.

I discovered him through watching the Berserk anime, fell in love with the score, got the score to the anime, now finding out he makes other music too boot?!!?!? I really want to get the album that uses his music on the video game, anyone out tehre help me figur eit out?!?!?! thanks~---The ps2 video game is japanese though, so its hard for me to research it.

[zodiacwarden]

@Soulwhodreams It are "Sign" and "Sign 2"."Berserk ~Millennium Falcon Arc: Record of the Holy Demon War~ Original Soundtrack" [VPCG-84815]("Sign","Sign2") " Music for movies / Susumu Hirasawa" [CHTE-0039] (only "Sign") or MP3 package(only 2 music "Sign" "Sign2") at teslakite shop(japanese website)

[DanmEveryNameIsTaken]

@Soulwhodreams I know the songs from Berserk by him were Forces, Gatsu, Benelit and a song called Earth. You can try looking them up under those names.

[yozypost]

Tho Chords in the 2:06 verse just make me absolutely melt....

[addalee]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for posting, I must now acquire the cd immediately!!

[NejixHinataFan]

Ah.. this sounds like a masterpiece.. it sounds so beautiful. I'm listening to it and I close my eyes as I listen, it really makes my imagination start opening a new world in my mind.

[IntoTheFace]

Thx fury for uploading a wonduerful song :) and thanks to siberia for a outstanding translation!

[Infestedeliwood]

"Without Break'king' Keep work'king'. Get to work, gardener, without break'king'." This song is a near sure fire way to slaughter procrastination.

*Gets back to work*

[NeyumiLena]

It's such a shame he doesn't get the fame and respect he deserves..

Not one person I've ever spoken to has heard of him.. Shameful..

[Meteotrance]

Hearing Hirasawa music and voice it's like having a wonderfull trip to the stars and surfing on to the Milkyway. i love he's music so much it's so ahead of our time !!!

[Teyis927]

One of my favorite Hirasawa songs. Thanks for uploading it!

[ogurimushitaro]

Amazing translation. Very Asian, Pantheism = Monotheism.

[acidman0519]

アルバムのメイントラックを公式サイトで無料で公開する辺り創作­に対する真摯な姿勢が分かるね

[Cloud1856]

[gransveld]

Aside of Sign, Forces, and Paprika, this song is also one of the best.

[mclottke]

@gransveld : dont forget to mention "mother", which is one of my all-time-favourite-songs

[gransveld]

@mclottke : I'll check it out.

[gransveld]

[strengthofwillful]

i have great respect for mr. hirasawa. his songs....they just make you drift into another world. maybe just me but i think its like the story in the song just takes you...ya know?

[KayneArcheron]

exactly. as the title implies, the main part of the tune makes it very easy to envision a very powerful kingly figure.

[SybilianShade]

@strengthofwillful

im right there with ya buddy!

[ShurokFox]

@strengthofwillful How not to have great respect for someone who can compose such an imposing and beautiful song?

[Chuloloc]

Amazing. Much respect for Susumu Hirasawa.

[corntate]

i really like this song but i think my favorite will always be parade xD. thank you for sharing this song. i first heard of him in paprika, now he is my favorite singer of all time

[KKumokun]

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful artist with us. I only knew of him through the Berserk anime [Forces-I love it!]. Now, I'm sure I will be adding him to my home collection. He's brilliant!

[dreamstone14]

song for god.

[Kamelik]

very mystic sounding

[shrakan]

love his song !!! Where can i find his song ? I don't find anything on Emule

Please tell me ^^

[odenskrigare]

soulseek and torrents are better

in fact you can find his discography (including P Model) on the pirate bay

[EvilTim001]

A true master of melodies

[Marshrutka]

ARIGATO!!!!!!!! OHHH!!!!! FANTASTIC!!! The lyrics + translation+japanese characters! GREAT! THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH! sorry for caps. :)

[ANGELKAGURA89]

[facelessred]

[EvilErutis]

This man = pure genius.

[bensteed123]

It's called music.

[KamiNekoYu]

Thanks

[Supremediva]

Thank you thank you thank you for putting this up. This is the first song I heard by him and it floored me beyond measure.

[Aznbum]

i heard him off paranoia agent haha

[EternalSoul175]

So did I.

But I had heard of him in Paprika first.

[889350351]

Susumu Hirasawa - epic

[LuNa0v0]

懐かしい

[shinichiro14]

すばらしい

[Removes]

I can't find this damn song anyplace. If anybody can help me out that'd be great.

[kesasika]

just download my youtube converter and download it straight from this video <.<

[Removes]

I'm not really into downloading youtube quality audio.

[kesasika]

Well first of all my youtube converter can convert the audio into better quality and second of all what's wrong with this? I think it sounds exactly the same as any CD.

[Removes]

You can't upconvert anything to a higher bitrate and have it restore the lost details, it's just transcoding. If you had a setup like mine you'd know why I don't like things that aren't in V0/320/FLAC, haha. This would sound amazing on my K702s in V0 even.

[Removes]

Either way, I'm not complaining. It just wish I could find it in some format that isn't shitty 128kbs MP3.

[kesasika]

Riiight... well I'm always happy with how it sounds even when I download it from youtube. I don't really hear the difference.

[KazuoKiriyama666]

Removes: If you're THAT bothered about the quality, but the damn CD and then convert it to youe iPod/MP3 whatever yourself. Geez.

[kesasika]

I just mentioned in a comment that I don't really care for the quality and what's the difference since Susumu allows people to download his music for free anyway.. at least according to wikipedia.

[KazuoKiriyama666]

*buy the damn CD*

[mclottke]

[KazuoKiriyama666]

Susumu is The King.

[NieEinEngel]

Btw, listening to him has now got me about 2 decent pages into a paper that has to be 6. In the timespan of about two songs alone. Who needs adderall when you have amazing music.

[NieEinEngel]

My God. I've been sitting in a computer lab for like 5 hours trying to do this paper that's due at 5pm today. What finally got me going was listening to Susumu's "Meditational Field" from the Paprika soundtrack. Then wandering around I click over to this and just...the way his voice comes in at around 1:13 and the first few seconds...

...sorry to ramble. I'm just inspired all over again. Thank you Fury for posting so much of his stuff.

[Grayphus]

I don't have words to describe it as that music is beautiful to my ears!!!!

I simply have to recognize this man's talent, in creating something magic.

It is sad that I only got in touch with Susumu Hirasawa's work after seeing Paprika.

Thank you for sharing this jewel in YouTube.

[NnyNZ]

IM too in love with this song! now to learn japanese.... anyone wanna try teach me?

[FreakyM]

Ahh, Mr. Hirasawa sure knows how to make catchy songs. Love it.

[martimerius]

A magical melody.

And I even don't understand what's it all about.

Yeah, it's one of the best.

[KiyumiSetsuna]

Wow! DO you know where I can find this song? Can you find this song?

[reveriehill1614]

It's easy to see why this is your favorite song... It's so pretty... I haven't stopped listening to it all day!!! Thanks for posting it!!!

[TheFuryLivesOn]

Anytime.

[sukoutoshindo]

I love this song! Although I always fall back to despair because I can't find the song. Must have it!

Oh yeah, 5/5

[Wiiphantom]

Great song. Love everything done by susumu hirasawa.

[KazuoKiriyama666]

What a great song to pick as your favourite! A completely ethereal experience, courtesy of Mr. Hirasawa.
