Kenji Kawai Live - (Ghost in the Shell: Innocence) - Kugutsuuta kagirohi ha yomi ni mata muto

[DanteSeask]

Genius

[xionmei]

geez each time i hear this, can't help but having tears in my eyes ><

so powerful and strong, it's almost a physical feeling.

[Akiraloller]

Never before an "O.S.T." made me feel so... GREAT. I remember everytime this song and all my happy memories. Sincerly, thanks to Kenji Kawai.

[sziljoe]

Egyszerűen csodálatos!

[TheBlackleoner]

sin palabras, un ESPECTÁCULO en toda la extensión de la palabra

[mkusanagi]

8:40 on....

wow

[MrMrEFE]

Esto es tan bueno que casi lloro cada vez que lo veo

[akinasukizakura]

日本のいいものはだいたいマイナー。バカが支持しているメジャー­路線を追わないことが、傑作を産むんだろうね。

[zengeng1991]

I'm a Japanese,but I don't know what they say.

こういう怖いやつよく聞くけど日本人が歌ってたんだね。すごい。­この怖さ大好き

[trippyay]

that drummer is INSANE.

[MHassan1986]

Holy Cow, this is even better than being bombarded by the shitty music of Gaga, Kesha Adele, and so many more..

[kapitalisttas]

what soldatens doing on the right

[SatsugaiKaze]

Just *watching* that taiko drummer made my arms hurt.

And I wasn't even doing anything!

[digitalchico]

it's been two years since I comment on this video... and I must say I still listen to this song at least 3 times a week, i've been doing it for over 2 years.. hell I listen to all of ghost in the shell music every week and I have not grown tired of any of them <3 Aniem truly has music worth mroe than today's mainstream music. The beautiful thing about anime music is that unlike today's pop music and such... this music lives in your soul and becomes a part of you, this music has true emotions <3

[Yyookkyy]

@digitalchico wow man you even scare me, so cool you are. :)

Yeah. For me this is music that can you can listen for a very long time to, several years maybee.

[ImuaRN]

@digitalchico It's like, it makes you want to *something new but vigorous*, right?

[salvajeia]

@digitalchico nice comment

[daAramaki]

beautiful song, and end is epic!

[nadavitasovic]

JUST BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE! ENJOY EVERY TIME!

Donna Nbg

[reyko33]

Who the hell disliked this??

[etheralzenith]

!!!!! 3xUnique !!!!

[JIYkp]

You know it's awesome when the drummer needs sheet music.

[edfuentesg]

I would soil myself if i were that bass player...

[tngnvmbr1227]

言語で歌っているのに、言語を超えた何かが伝わってくる。

[080629po]

すごいなぁ～ 凄い！

このLive行きたかったなぁ

傀儡謡　陽炎は黄泉に待たむとを生み出した川井憲次さんに感謝！

映画｢イノセンス｣を創った押井守監督に感謝！

[unap16]

Shakes me to my core every single time. Appropriate for battle of the Gods.

[Papatauenga]

....Goosebumps....O.O

[majoodmud]

thumbs up if you discovered this artist from Fate Stay Night

[keiweak]

@majoodmud nope i hear him from war docu in nat geo apocalypse second world war he's the guy who make the intro music.

[mec567]

I have nothing to say.

This is amazing.

[Lopeth31]

he is kawai



[gohan623]

whaoooooooooooo i don't know what to say

[RAMIDUScz]

i wonder what would it get if Hans Zimmer, Kenji Kawai, Lisa Gerrard, A.R. Rahman and Klaus Zundel made a song... it would be a mix of the best music of all cultures it the world... and it would be heavenly...

[Chevre2012]

amazing song...

[WallyWadeMovies]

I guess how John Williams has a very distinct sound to his scores, to me this has a very distinct Japanese sound. I was a teen when i first heard the first OST of GHOST IN THE SHELL.

And i always said that its "the sound of japan"

[hybrid08jiji]

西田社中のお姉さま方凄い・・・・・凄すぎる！

泣きそうになっちゃったよ。

[ssoiknoasayake]

西洋と日本文明の衝突から生み出される旋律。

[AcdcMan012]

Is this from a DVD? PLEASE I MUUUUUUUUSTTTT HAAAAAAVE IT!!!!!!

[elfbride]

Epic.

[elfbride]

This awesome stuff. My husband introduced me to Anime and I found I love so much of the music. American Idol can suck it.

[playgrrrr]

@elfbride amerikan aidoru

[dj9volt]

@elfbride you mam have made my day, american idol does suck the big one compared to this epic piece from Kawai-san

[StabWoundOrgasm]

Just... amazing.

[MisterSmiley91]

Now THIS is the musical genius that everybody, especially Americans, should be into instead of ..... not going to say his name, but he has nothing no Kenji Kawai. Kawai is possibly the greatest musical director of all time. If not, then he's certainly a contender.

[Hasfast]

@MisterSmiley91 I agree with the general feel of your comment, but... seriously? Of all time? D.R.

[NOEXEoriginal]

Why is it so fucking hard to find MP3 downloads for this and other innocence sound tracks. Seriously, id buy the freakin disc if I have too, IF THEY WERE IN STOCK ANYWHERE HERE IN AMERICA. shesh, if they dont sell it, they could at least provide a download some where. lol.

[riopieboy]

@NOEXEoriginal google youtube downloader.

[Malzzel]

My god, this is so beautiful! The singers, the drummer, even the best part where Doll House comes in - so excellent! I've never heard this being played live before, and they did a fantastic job with it all! All the emotion, musical, and vocal elements are so well balanced... It really can put someone to tears. It makes me so proud to know that GITS has gotten this type of recognition. I can understand why the audience were so quiet... They had no idea what they had just witnessed.

[mmaccoutinho]

Those bells with that awesome sound... is it a traditional japanese instrument of sorts or just a makeshift invented instrument by mr. Kawai? : o

[jessesaurusrex6661]

@mmaccoutinho KEnji KAwai didn't make this instrument...it is called a Jingle Bell Stick

[mmaccoutinho]

@jessesaurusrex6661 Oh, thank you very much!

[liidan15]

i played this song with them once...but then i woke up

[R1ckr011]

Such modest applause.... Are they just.... Stunned? I would be crying so much by the end.

[eddyakp82]

JUST KENJI KAWAI.......MAGIC AND POWERFUL

[emmdragon]

OMG!!!! So AmAzing!!!!! So Incredibly POWERFULL ... Utterly stunning! LOve this!

[slartibarfast1]

Really like the older lady in the middle with "like a boss face", she makes the choir so epic ^^

[SajukkTheEternal]

lol @ 3:45 the camera is shaking when the drummer hits the very big drum

[TheDeni50816]

ke foda mano!

[ravewave07]

this was fucking awesome!!! did anyone else get chills when hearing this?

[Scum71succer]

This made me cry....

[theNerdGamer88]

this is how angel cry , the voices are so well synchronized .

they've achieved perfection .

[danielleus]

Is there a *Love It!!* thumb?? This is such an awesome performance!

[javabaja]

I was jamming to this song just now, and my dog that ran away 3 years ago jumped through an open window and sat on my lap, put his head down and started crying.

[akumie]

@javabaja LOL

[DarkIP992]

5 people are deaf. Sorry guys, too bad :(

[lovetownsend]

btw for anyone who doesn't know

at 1:18 that is Kenji kawai the composer

[lovetownsend]

1. that drummer owns everything

2. i thought the singers were like 6 years old, damn...they pitch that note high!

[MorningPrayer1]

real quality

[calmrevolution]

GODDDD !

I LOVE JAPANESE MUSIC !

[themaniusedtob]

is that really 100 percent their voice or are they using some kind of track playing in the back ground?

[ikkedoch]

@themaniusedtob well there's a fuckload of singers.

So I say its them..

[LtChris909]

@themaniusedtob the japanese never fuck around and take short cuts with the quality of their work. So what you're hearing is pure perfection :)

[jorgepeterbarton]

@themaniusedtob yep. there are alto's at the back rarerly in shot as well.

but its the really amazing control of the singers vibrato that makes it sound so dense and unhuman.

[Inspadave]

If a live action movie was ever made of GITS they NEED to use Kawai's music. Epic movies require epic music. I feel Kanno's music is better suited to the small screen.

[Vinitachi]

@Inspadave I don't think its that. The movies and the series feels very different from each other. Kawai's musical style fits with the movies. Kanno's with the series.

[Inspadave]

@Vinitachi Do you realize that I said the same thing in my previous comment?

[ducktopia301]

that'S hardcore

[robokou]

*sniff, sniff* .... ;_;

[mudoras]

it been litterale 6 hours that i'm listening to that song.

[christophervohl]

amazing track and a good break from life for 9:55 minutes i love it thumbs up!!!!!

[MiguelFaunos]

the best sound in history

[AquariaSpirit]

Kenji Kawai's music is just a fountain of excellence.

[Amaema1]

Чудесно, внутри аж все колеблется)

[Kalyth]

Incredible... This is epic and moving at the same time.

[hataaliihastiin]

This gives me great ideas for a good graphic novel.

[cosmos0117]

BEST THIS IS THE BESTTTTTTTTTT !!!

[wilsontt88]

AWESOME!!! Moved me to tears!

[womad]

this divine beauty. their discipline. absolute pride. epic.

this song made me pray for japan. :') gambatte!

[Enormymous]

@womad don't pray, you fool!! it was the damn christians praying for a reckoning upon atheists that caused the quake!! Japan is a VERY atheistic place!! YOU FOOL!!! YOU DAMN FOOL!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[womad]

@Enormymous Hi, you need a life rather than commenting around rubbish. What made u think that the reckoning was only for the atheist? What made you think God would punish human beings this way? And who are you to judge them? Who are you to label fools? Why, even reasoning the Christians for praying deem you a sinner.

I think you're lost. However, I believe that you'll find your way, like everyone in the world, like all wretch saved by amazing grace. For the record, have some humanity. Amen.

[womad]

[Enormymous]

@womad How can I get such a cool life like yours?!?! But closing my eyes and folding my hand and mumbling to myself while people are dying?!?!  YOU DAMN FOOL!!! NOOOOOOOOOO!!! DON'T PRAY YOU FOOL!!!!!!

[belle12071937]

This is especially breathtaking at the 8:46 mark and from there on. Of course, the whole track is addictive. I've lost count of the times I've listened to it. Thank you for posting!

[PIEDEDIPIOMB0]

A genius.

[fosk8]

My dream is to be the drummer at 1:19

[PIEDEDIPIOMB0]

@fosk8 is not "a drummer", but he is the Maestro Kenji Kawai, the author......

[fosk8]

@PIEDEDIPIOMB0 why do you think I said that? ;)

[DXAnimeRockzXD]

:)



[DXAnimeRockzXD]

This song would be good to play on Halloween.especially because of 2:45-2"55

[uptierz]

[mike1995y]

[faronov549]

[krissto71]

Samurai Power!

[Spartan117A1]

Motherfucking Amazing.

[Black7Cloud]

Wait, this is live? Holy tits.

[Seikhupatz]

In my mind this always plays as the "Genius goes berserk" theme song. d:

[krovogad]

It's interesting why do they need this horde of instruments, four synths alone.

[badkluster]

Fucking AWESOME.

[Sssnufffkin]

Sends shivers down my spine! I LOVE the GITS series, films, everything! Thought provoking, mind boggling and excellently excecuted

[kblargh]

[T1m0nza]

@rosembergmsouza i think i can hear yours as well as mine :)

ah, those japanese and their out-of-any-imaginable-limits sense of rythm!

my favorite most dramatic part is from 8:10 - here soul not just cries but bursts out with a whole bunch of tears.

and aye, there seem to be at least 5 soulless gainoidos

[freeharddrive]

OMG Awesome this is so awesome.

[MrGrukan]

I went.

[BubbleGumNipples]

@MrGrukan

[alukard0808]

[Raistbcn]

Magnífic... Impressionant

[unholyedsoul]

This gives me chills.

[RyBPierce]

This song was playing when god created the universe.

[ronlee83]

Where was this concert performed? Man this guy is a legend. Anyone liked the music he did for Vampire Princess Miyu anime and OAV? I've been a fan for a long time.

[daskfighter]

2 people are fucked in their brains

[toswitchofvoicemail9]

Great concert, love the drums and vocals. 10/10

[MahouOtoko]

これはとても美しいですよ。

[uubbaazz]

AWESOME.. WONDERFUL .. AMAZINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

[TheKenjiYamada]

anybody knows where i can buy/order "jacket/hakama/kimono" or whatever like the main drummer is wearing?

[TheLane9999]

@TheKenjiYamada his wear is happi coat(はっぴor法被）.it is japanese traditional clothes.

[k072193]

Man the drummer gives me goosebumps. Amazing.

[Xjulian]

Pure epicness!

[ayoama]

Gosh, I so love this song. Combined with the movie's visuals it's just an orgasmic experience.

[mikes17111]

Funny thing, I recently played this at my home party. Guess what, everyone talking just shut up. In split second, and they stayed silent until the end of this great, epic track. :) Afterwards everyone was like, what the f**k was that?? I want this on my iPod now! I was quite happy that I managed to convince my guests of the superiority of Kenji Kawai's divine work over the total musical crap we usually get on TV and radio.

[xevious2501]

@mikes17111 I totally agree with ya, I have the entire collection of the music made for GITS, and its ALL good (no pun intended) Kenji Kawai is awesome not to mention the ORIGA-Yoko Kanno combo. brilliance.

This music delivers a powerfull statement of Japan, its people power and culture. Almost like a battle cry of the elder generation.  its brilliant. I play it on my ipod in the car all the time. Dont care what people think.

Fact is if they listen maybie they will learn something.

[playgrrrr]

@xevious2501 Look at the presentation of this song. It has nothing to do with the elder generation, with a battle cry, or with a statement of Japan & its culture. It is the work of art of a man who happens to be familiar with certain styles of expression, who found a way to orchestrate them beautifully.

It can be these things for you, but unless it is clear that this is the message 川井憲次-先生 wanted to convey, please try to not spoil the song with your uncouth interpretation of it.

[dj9volt]

@xevious2501 he's not just awesome, he's awesomely epic.

[Papatauenga]

@xevious2501 My roomie just walked in and asked what I was listening to. He sat and watched. He listened...He's a laid back, cool cat. I've NEVER seen his eyes widen...Until listening to this with him. THANK YOU for uploading. FOUR THUMBS UP! :D

[MiguelFaunos]

@mikes17111

mikes , you play in GOD mode when you talk

agree a lot

[mikes17111]

@MiguelFaunos hey thanks, I like gaming too. :) Currently waiting for Rage and Doom 4 from id software. Stuff coming out from Blizzard is also epic ... lol

[MiguelFaunos]

@mikes17111 yeah mate , see you in diablo 3 and wow¡

[ChronoGXay]

@mikes17111 - heh heh, when I first read through your comment, I thought I read "TONAL music crap", which made me stop and say 'exCUSE me?'

[ko9pi]

ライブ観に行きました。圧倒され過ぎて泣きそうになったのを思い­出します。

素子とバトーが向かい合うシーンの一瞬の静寂が、今でも忘れられ­ません

[javierzful]

excellent

[Johanneke1963]

wicked!

[vashthestampede2008]

beautiful

[TAJours]

This is absolutely fantastic , the voices and drums !

[LostBlossom]

I wonder if the drummer's hands are tired after that =)

[phazepiracy]

Thanks god ! Thanks for letting me see this performance ! Kawai Kenji is simply the best !! you should try 'innovator' from gundam 00 ...! it's a true masterpiece !! beyond epicness !

[khanflesh]

Kenji Kawai is, simply put, a genius.

[sephiroth2711]

sugoi

[omerjacobus]
