DJ Okawari - Afterschool

[myusername0wns]

HHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG­GGGG

[OMGxITZxPACMAN]

Listening to this and opening another tab on YouTube to the sounds of the ocean is AMAZING!!!

[SexyCharmingFrance]

The years of being in Elementary school, Junior High, High school. The best days were Fridays, of course. HAHA. Then, this one kid in my class named Saxon used to hang out with me.

Missing the 08-09 years.

[VideBoy]

I Barley got of my teen and alot of time I think back to all my childhood days and all my childhood friends I've made and the neighborhood I've recently moved from.. lots of friends come and go.. and since I've moved away.. the neighborhood seems as it lost it heart and everyone don't seem to get along with each other unless i'm around on the days I do stop by.. a couple of them wanna be gangs all of a sudden and others became more like wanna be.. only 3 i hang out with that are still the same

[ICEcreamNcookies1]

i love being a kid no care in the world

[aurtora]

the picture looks like spring

[metabon]

hahaha reminds me of the time i actually didnt BS all the things i did in life

[Hunta]

Damn, fitting title for this song.

[martrex2]

This song is delicious, keep the good vibes up.

[TaekoBored]

Why couldn't this song play in the background of my life when I was a kid? xD

[cheesebarf808]

music like this brings out the best in people, i honestly love seeing everyone unite and not fighting over the littlest thing. triphop is on a whole other level, it makes you think, and want to create your own story; live your life; humblesome. REAL MUSIC.

[flowernabee]

This music makes me tear. Great music :)

[gozgaz1]

my childhood

[narutogirl105]

Dj Okawari makes me feel like a new person :) he is awsome c(:

[Wisdamatic]

A lover in a fighter's body.

[akspartan92]

Theres no greater feeling in the world than nostalgia. You're never happier than when your a kid

[iLikeRicee]

i swear, dj okawari is soo distracting when im doing my homework >.<

[mirroredhour]

@iLikeRicee yeah, haha, me too. i'm supposed to be doing math.

[SettowinP]

Feels so... no word may describe it...

[jsyxlove]

Reminds me that all my dreams as a child can come true as I grow older. No, I can still dream like a child even when I'm old.

[YOUchris15]

i can wake up to this EVERRDAYY

[JChobit]

If I felt like this everyday after school, my school life would have been a happier one.

[treatedwater]

@JChobit

totally!

[cj3007]

listening to this while doin my homework ^_^

[ChungFat4eva]

sitting in my room near the window, watching the evening light pour in on this beautiful Autumn day while I work. that's my Afterschool feeling

[xodn3300]

love the illustration

[ManSmokingACigarette]

Only real after school is when you die.

But the beauty of this music is that each person can interpret it as they wish, so there is no fighting, just art and love.

[TheMadisonHang]

Schools out!! Freedom!!! .....oh wait... I forgot about my homework..... wonderful song either way...

[spartanA01]

This song is just incredible. So beautiful, so soothing and so relaxing. Just takes you somewhere else when you close your eyes and listen...

[MrPoetTN]

3 people are still in school.

[YullDiS]

best song ever!!

[VietBo1nameisKim]

nujabes reincarnated 

[MalachiteR]

@VietBo1nameisKim Sept... DJ Okawari wasn't just born... and they hardly sound alike lol.

[ciloves]

@MalachiteR i agree with you man. they are so different. as if compare. nujabes was one of a kind...

[MagusMistake]

Anyone else notice that part of this song is from Mother 3?

[KeysCrystal]

@MagusMistake Really? what song? from Mother 3 o. o

[Vergedood]

Wow, I can't believe this is the first time I'm hearing about this artist. Reminds me greatly of Nujabes.

[Raxqorz]

reminds anyone else of persona 4 music?

[Kimchi4Korea]

@Raxqorz it really does. has that feeling

[dragonshit2001]

stop fucking masturbating by trying to be poet

[TheBetterSalad]

@dragonshit2001 Apparently you don't know what masturbation is. It's the self stimulation of the genital parts. How is that relative to poetry? Idiots these days...

[sambojones123]

reading naruto shippuden manga at the same time...fuck yea.

[yoyopeter226]

reminds me of gunbound

[tannerlinder]

like New Orleans when the levees tumbled, try to think of other things, but I stumble.

Don't know how, to get back ashore, so I just sit and let the memories absorb.

Into my mind, into my conscience.

It's all so overwhelming, I'm really quite astonished.

Memories, it would seem, are all we have.

I recommend reminiscing and not holding back.

Let it all flow just like an ocean, let it revitalize you like a potion.

Things will get better, if you just believe.

Close your eyes and you shall see.

[tannerlinder]

Start at 0:38.

Tranquility is in the air, I try to think but my mind is bare.

Just then, I'm swept away by emotions, drowning in past memories flowing like an ocean.

Despite, my lack of oxygen, I remain calm, because my past is prospering.

Remembering old times, both good and bad, thinking about my mom and dad.

How big they seemed, back when I was 3.

They were my knights, in shining armor, glistening.

It seems like it was so far back, but now it's all seeping through a crack.

Flooding my brain,

[stealthxsin]

it had me at the piano.

then the drums kicked in and took me to a whole other planet.

[gt4lex]

I knew this was going to please me from the very first note. I don't know why, maybe some people are able to share feelings by just pressing one key... beautiful music !

[DJNEKOO]

Damn this brings back to elementary skool when i used to sit under trees with my best friend and watch the clouds pass by and wonder why we weren't there with them just floating by with the other clouds

[Kororocks12]

This reminds of all the simpleness of being a kid...now everything is just screwed up. People turning their backs on each other, drama, kids fighting who used to friends back then...its just a mess and me...well I'm slowly losing my will and psyche - but this is giving lots of hope, it will get better someday, just keep on keeping on.

[TheMykel111]

@Kororocks12 It will, trust me.

[nycityman18]

@Kororocks12 hey whats up i know what you mean about being a kid and not having the worries we have now its like when adulthood kicked in it was like wow i never knew about lifes challenges and yes its sad how people are but i guess thats part of life sometimes people forget we are just here temporarily....anyway from one stranger to another good luck in life ...take care..dont give up......

[cheesebarf808]

@Kororocks12 i feel you bro. 

[Fabio254]

@Kororocks12 Being a kid sucked. Kids are mean as hell to each other.

[MalachiteR]

@Fabio254 Sounds like you had a bully problem.

[Fabio254]

@MalachiteR I actually didn't. Kids in general are just mean little bastards.

[ThrowDownArtists]

@Fabio254 Being an adult sucks. You dont know shit.

[Fabio254]

@ThrowDownArtists I never said being an adult was better.

[Sugar0Tits0]

@Kororocks12 damn i feel the same way. idk if its just the cycle of growing up but reminiscing on the past is fucking painful cause of how shitty everything is, everythings so corrupt, and it only gets worse. youll be happy for a short period and something horrible will happen for an even longer time period...life sucks :( just for the record, suicides a no go, suicides very stupid. like you said just keep on keeping on

[alexishandsome]

I think i just had a stroke.

[iyann09]

@alexishandsome LOL!!!

[SimokenSamoan]

This track, reminds me of when i was in elementary, before everything anybody did became complicated. =)

[NanouoMusic]

this guy is amazing

[SoulOfASurrato]

this touched my heart ;~; Love it.

[Gang3rs]

man this music is so calming, remind me of the great times i had with my friends as a kid. do anyone know any aritsts like this? i just know Nomak and Nujabes

[Snakedudeman28]

@Gang3rs Check out Michita and Kondor. 

[GrimReefer35]

@Gang3rs

You should try checking out Emancipator

[KKev24]

@Gang3rs check out Fat Jon (The Ample Soul Physician)

[Risorva]

i'm putting this on my ipod, thanks! ;)

[RnBPriinCeee]

@Cubanito884 the nicest comment ever

Mhhh... This song makes me feel so sad

Thank you dj okawari

[1oftheid]

This song makes me feel light ;3

[Hoptix]

One of the most beatiful songs I've heard in a minute. Reminds me alot of Nujabes.

[krnxzephyr]

Other than the nostalgic feeling you get from this song, you have to have this on repeat while youre studying or doing hw, it really helps you concentrate.

[TheAnaRayAna]

@krnxzephyr I agree. Uncomplicated music like this (and preferably without words) have always helped me to concentrate.

[JadeePanda]

Reminds me of being really young, playing in the school playground on a rainy day.

[tsuyu032696]

the piano tune sounds a bit like the love theme in mother 3 and this song is awesome.

[Cubanito884]

This makes me wanna cry.. it makes me feel like i don't wanna grow up, that i'm a little kid, just enjoying life, nothing to worry about, as we grow more and more we gain more responsibilities and learn more about the world, but we will always try our best to stay happy/positive, and i thank Okawari and Nujabes that, for giving me the gift of true hip-hop, and knowing how precious life is by listening to your beautiful artwork. Rest In Peace Jun Seba/ Live on in in your successors, GodBlessThis~

[TheInfoBlast]

it makes me think of how fast kids grow up. but we are all still kids on the inside. so live your life with a smile, embrace change, and always expect there to be a brighter tomorrow.

[DCFerrisProductions]

Reminds me of a time when my only problem was not being able to beat a level in Crash Bandicoot 2...

[ShySea]

@NOTbrandonquinto that's the way you feel? really? my feeling is that im on youtube. just looking at the computer screen. listening to Afterschool - DJ Okawari. Not too loud. Not too quiet. But just right.

[redmangoose182]

This is the feeling you get whenever you're leaving or going back somewhere by train with your headphones on.

[acceleratorist]

man, this sounds like something out the 5cm Per Second soundtrack.

[NOTbrandonquinto]

sitting in a coffee shop. just looking out the window. headphones in music on, not even loud. but enough to enjoy. thinking this feels right.

this is my 'after school' feeling. thank you dj okawari.

[InnerMantra]

@NOTbrandonquinto Same as well, after school feeling free from the system that's trying to make me regurgitate the knowledge they give me not actually "teaching" me but preaching me. Telling me how to use it, for example like a coffee pot how to turn it off and on, but they don't tell you the mechanical knowledge that goes behind it. Just teaching me to be a tool, not to learn, just to follow the highest demeanor. When I retire all I want is a dojo in middle of an isolated country side.

[poltergiest11]

this makes me warm and depressed feeling, in a good way, inside...

[AsianSoAnday]

such a peaceful song. dont fight on a song like this you stubborn people.

[stevenjiii]

I'm glad this has zero dislikes, but I'm mad that it has only 32k views. This shits amazing.

[map0wt0fu]

I wish they sold the album in the USA. Need to get a job so I can get that $30 to buy the album.

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum And still, your English fails you. It's not about attention, it's about having common respect for others despite racial differences, asshole. I didn't post any racial slander on your page. I simply told you to OPEN YOUR EYES because the world is FULL of brown people from all sorts of varying races. You're obviously too stupid to comprehend that though so you felt the need to retort with idiotic racial slander. You've proved that you are, in fact, racist.

[surfergurl268]

i love this guy along with dj motive and nujabes probably some of the best artist ever!!!

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum I'm saying, why get upset if the guy or girl is making music like Nujabes? Nujabes was a great artist, but unfortunately he's not with us anymore and he won't be making anymore music. Grow up, troll.

[Shyuum]

@SilverLadyFox

First of all, I'm not a troll, since when people who are entitled to their own opinion become a "Troll" all of a sudden, you should learn your language, negra, and second like I said, I'm entitled to my own opinion, I don't really care what you think of my thoughts

Have a good day.

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum Um, telling me to get hit by a car and calling negra isn't exactly having an opinion. It's being an asshole. All I said was the guy won't be making anymore music so it doesn't really matter if Dj Okawari is a wannabe or not. Get off your high horse.

[Shyuum]

@SilverLadyFox

First of all, I was messing with you with the "get hit by a car" I think you didn't get my sarcasm, Nujabes died in a traffic accident, don't you just get it? my god.. , and you're obviously a black women, so..., what's your point?

[Shyuum]

@SilverLadyFox

sorry. Black Woman*

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum I'm well aware of how he died. Sarcasm is not easily READ. It's a different story if I were speaking with you. Just because I have tanned skin, doesn't make me black so for you to refer to me as a 'negra' is just plain rude. You don't see me replying with comments about your whereabouts. Hell, my mother is English. And no, looking at my screen name doesn't make it obvious that I'm a black woman. You felt the need to search my profile for something to compliment your rude post.

[Shyuum]

@SilverLadyFox

Eh.., You don't have tanned skin, you look very brown to me, and I am not racist, and no I didn't feel like going to your profile, I could easily tell you were black by looking at your nickname, anyways, I don't "feel" like this is getting me somewhere, so farewell.

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum Yes because SilverLadyFox is a "Black" screen name, right? By tanned I obviously mean non-white skin. Because a girl is 'brown' you feel the need to call her negra? Sounds fairly racist to me. If you weren't trying to be negative in your comment, you wouldn't have felt the need to put the word negra in each sentence addressing me.

[MrMajugi]

@SilverLadyFox Just... Enjoy the song?..

[MrMajugi]

@Shyuum Just listen to the music?

[Shyuum]

@MrMajugi

Alright Mr. Majugi.

[MrMajugi]

@Shyuum Doesn't seem like anyone of you wanna argue anyways^^

[SilverLadyFox]

@MrMajugi That guy is so ridiculously racist that he felt the need to post racist comments on my profile under a different screen name.

[MrMajugi]

@SilverLadyFox Wow..

[SilverLadyFox]

@MrMajugi What?

[MrMajugi]

@SilverLadyFox Nah i was just amazed that he would take the time to post comments on your profile

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum Next time you feel the need to use an alternate screen name to post hateful, racist nonsense on my page, you should really take an English class first. Thought the language originated with you lot, yet your grammar is horrid. Again, the color of a person's skin does not determine their intelligence as you have so elegantly displayed your idiocracy. Dumb Bitch.

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum If you have something to say to someone, then say it. There is no need to involve race in what wasn't even a dispute until you brought unnecessary commentary to the page. You referring to me as negra is obviously your way of speaking down to someone you don't even know is black! There are a lot of multiracial people in this world. All you've done is post hateful and seemingly racist shit on a good song.

[Shyuum]

Nujabes wanna be

[SilverLadyFox]

@Shyuum It's not like Nujabes is going to be making anymore music...

[HonoluluBoi]

i'm speechless.

okawari is simply amazing.

[TomeiChan]

I feel that music this amazing can only be tainted by spoken words. I can't sing a song with it, hear lyrics with this; nothing would compare to the impact it makes as a track on its own.

[0gami1tto]

you people really need to earn to torrent

[reppingAiEa]

@0gami1tto Why did he get -5?

Hes right. i myself am tired of seeing people constantly ask where to dl works of art like this.

Its simple. Download: Youtube Downloader. or any Video-Mp3 converter

Have a nice day ^_^

[MeckelBot]

where in gods name can I get his work? I have no idea where to buy his CDs, or even DL it, i dont really care if I pay or not, I just love it.

[jujimboni]

it's so beautiful :D

[nanalalachan]

This is so touching. Tears ran down my eyes as I was listening to this. Following the beat. I couldn't help but feel... good.

I want to buy his album so badly!

[kabutosenseiisback]

listen to this after you finish work on your way home...its really something.

[kror23]

memories in my mind Reminds me of another time rememebr tehres no need to cry as melodies are drifitng by like butetrfleis upon the wind showing you were it begins In teh heart is where it starts remember you can not depart from teh one source of all taht is whatever happens rememebr this Sing, dance, love, play Watch the sorrow sink away Like an ocean to the moon The suns gonna rise soon Follow ur feet coz oneday we may meet On a barren street kissing to teh rythm of a heart beat

[kror23]

One love my brotehrs nd sisters, beautiful music, lands nd settles within my heart

[BBoyNV]

@kror23

is this yours???

its simply amazing! :D

[turkanboy69]

@BBoyNV agreed sirs lol

[kror23]

@BBoyNV haha :D:D it sure is...

Thx so much for the kind words uve let fly...

Im battling some dark inner beasties nd wrds like that r like beacons in the mists which hav gathered within my mind of late.

*hugz*

[BBoyNV]

@kror23 No problem kror23. (: Sorry for the late reply. I hope expressing yourself is in every step of your life.

And every rule is made by only you.

[TheNZ3]

@kror23 nice lyrics =], hoped i heard it without reading it xD would of been a lot better =p

[OGDonJuan]

@kror23 what a gay comment, your bars are fuckin waste.. should be ashamed of yourself and why THE fuck can't you spell the

[B0ker]

@OGDonJuan Aha good to see there's another bruvva from the UK that listens to this shit...

But yeh they are obviously a lot of fairytale butterfly boys that listen to this sort of music such as the guy u boyin off.

Nevertheless this tune is smooth as!

[icecreamcakeandpiex]

@kror23 Too bad you can't spell

[MalachiteR]

@kror23 Before you try to write poetry, you might want to learn about basic spelling and grammar.

[BboyIrock]

@MalachiteR Dude it's called TRIP. And the guy is high because of music. It is more than forgivable for him.

[Frieduck99]

hey man i gotta say thats really damn nice...really is like your drawing your own thoughts using words or somthing like that lol...anyways keep up the good work man :)

[whatdonthinks]

I finally finished it Ossuary, turns out i'm having a beautiful baby boy or girl in eight months, hope everyone likes it.

(spoken before first verse starts)

baby, i just have to say, that ilove you. now, always and forever...

(verse 1)

when i first saw your eyes i felt so suprised

like a child gazing through not understanding compromise

you liked the thought of a man in your life

from the first time you said a word, i knew you'd be my wife

[OssuaryRevolution]

wow, congratulations ! :D

that's amazing!

i hope it all goes well

and btw, again, great work of yours

I hope that one day, we can bring our work together

perhaps

[whatdonthinks]

traveling through with the plan, while we walked hand in hand,

you kept my heart inside, as i fell through like sand,

the hourglass only holds me from getting to you,

and if i ever fall down i figured out exactly who,

always caught me, and pleased me, you set me down and eased me,

it was ment to be, i'll love thee, until eternity,

just strolling with the breeze, taking it nice and slow,

you'll always be my baby girl and I hope you know,

it's plain to see, i'll be here for you eternally,

[whatdonthinks]

don't you worry or hurry, it's all planned out, soul to soul, mouth to mouth, feet to feet, neck to chest, close your eyes, get comfortable, lay down my love and rest. (chorus) this is to you my baby girl, i can never say enough, exclaiming the message of, life and love, delivering the beautiful light, flying to me like a dove, the heavens gates opened, as you were sent from above, a beautiful angel, the oceans spoke her name, adding to my foundation, when my life was so plain,

[whatdonthinks]

legs intwined, and i write lines, you ARE mine,

a love beyond words, only time can explain. (p.s. i love you sarah jane)

beauty and elegance, cascading with decadance, reminisce sometimes,

how we became true lovers, and the stars aligned,

under that unforgettable moon,i asked you and you said yes that june,

and my eyes lit up like the water in the bay,

reflecting off your silk dress, and i with nothing to say,

[whatdonthinks]

speechless, and taken from the thought of it all,

i knew i had met the perfect angel that past fall,

smooth caramel skin, caught in the perfect tint,

as the gun went off, and my heart began to sprint,

and now i'm confessing to her, my wildest fears,

in the hope she won't leave me here, in tears,

the years, the moments, they all flew by,

you kept me close, and you kept me by your side,

and these feeling for you, i just can't hide,

i just hope you press replay, and hear this song everyday.

[OssuaryRevolution]

nice add to your verses :D

descriptive and meaningful

[joonism]

wow this is great. impressing.

[OssuaryRevolution]

This is truly a winner.

[OssuaryRevolution]

In fact, I wrote a little poem for it.

Here goes:

Every day, getting prepped, just to go to school,

To see a pool, of students, and learn many steps,

I always forget, details that the teachers give; progress prevail,

Entirely a fail, my mind's a sieve, constantly distracted,

With those I have interacted; in class, added and subtracted,

Fractions, galore, algebra, please, no more,

So, when school is finished, my attitude is diminished,

Feeling gratitude, for the bell that rings,

[OssuaryRevolution]

Signalling, the very end, of education that I attend,

Which with my intelligence, I offend, all that's relevant,

It's ridiculous, to claim it's all meticulous,

This is how I'm making this, no faking it, I don't like school,

You fool, don't you have any clue, of how cruel,

This work is for me, sorry, every day's like a safari,

Scavenging through deep surroundings, all for glory,

But just tell me a story; the better it's sounding,

Than just facts lodged, in my conscious,

[OssuaryRevolution]

To bring about an intellectual facade, just monstrous,

Bunches, of information, that ruins my inclinations,

Makes me want to change my location, without hesitation,

Somewhere after school, that matters, it's my daily fuel,

Energy that's lucrative, within me; for long I have awaited,

Correlated with my desires, all that I admire, my entire,

Disposition, presenting this intuition, into its fruition,

The newest edition, of supreme amalgamation,

Of enjoyable jollification, sincere articulation,

[OssuaryRevolution]

Even my most extensive words, couldn't explain its worth,

Its justification; that I experience, in all serious,

Deliberation, in this generation,

After school is when I appreciate, luxuriate,

For I have the time to enjoy what I want,

Acting far from nonchalant, like there's no audience,

Dancing like there are not viewers, I see that the fewer,

Things are in life, the more I'd love to be their pursuer.

Give me the time, to enjoy how life is sublime,

[OssuaryRevolution]

After school is what's mine, never would I resign,

And yet, I realized, that I would be penalized,

If I didn't do my homework; makes me more berserk,

But it has its own perks; school is still salient,

As students, we should stay valiant, to reach futures,

Teach yourselves like tutors, and develop the right assets,

And work hard at it, being brief in your beliefs.

Although I recite this, I am not so righteous,

Thinking of school as a crisis, not an application of wisdom,

[OssuaryRevolution]

A factual system, which I oppose,

And only propose, the things I told,

What was composed, for after school,

Unfold, the zeal to feel, all the appeal, by my ideals.

Afterschool, my master tool,

Fixing me from what I don't truly like,

Repairing me, because we reunite.

[OssuaryRevolution]

not the greatest, but it was fun to do

and i do hope you like it :D

peace

[Seeker0Ftruth1]

you gotta nice vocabulary when rhymin. no simple shit. nice

[OssuaryRevolution]

thankss :D

[ZANGxsamm]

feels like springtime.

[HistoMagouri]

I'm coming afterschool

eat some supper

gonna chill and relax

and just be cool

[3rdEyeVision]

makes me want to talk to people i haven't talked to in a long time.

[hoykuneho]

Perhaps my favorite from this Album. Really makes your reflect....I'm going to be blasting this in my dorm room for a while, haha.

[thorax1985]

put this track and the rest of the album on repeat. Great song to relax to.

[tolleydread]

I love music like this true hip hop I love to rap over this stuff it really allows a deep thought, Mad love

[fishbNchips]

@tolleydread real hip hop? are u brain dead

[tehstinz]

kind of reminds me of that one song in the movie called big with tom hanks.

[kevsc91]

great track! I think ill listen to it again!!
