Ichiko Aoba with 12 Ensemble - Seabed Eden, Asleep Among Endives (Live at Milton Court)

so real

[@Lilpalta]

As someone who is aiming to pursue art as a career and a passion there are no word I can use to describe the heights Ichiko Aoba has reached, its beyond her being a good guitar player or an astounding singer even beyond her own heart wrenching compositions, she has definitely not reached her peak as an artist but I am convinced that there are almost no other humans alive who can express their whole identity and give such specific and vulnerable images through their music, art as a concept is such a deep inescapable hole that the sheer thought can be scary and especially lonely, being naked to your own feeling and searching for value in them to create a medium is both what makes it beautifully human and scarily fragile. Thus the existence of a woman with such caring and free art make me not only feel company but shows there is a path forward, I am sure most people feel this way. With the closure of my 18th birthday and my advancement to art school I hope everybody can feel something with this masterpiece. Thank you Ichiko Aoba / 心から感謝しています

[@ooooswain]

Most people don't even get it...at least in my country. I show people Ichiko and they are bored because it's not ego driven shallow party music. Ichiko's music comes from the deepest part of the soul, and to really hear her, you yourself need to be in touch with your own soul, and I think most American's are not. The culture is very materialistic and the popular music is pure ego. I listen to Ichiko more with my heart than anything, I feel her music in my soul, I understand her without understanding Japanese, I just feel her beautiful beautiful soul through her music. She is really something special, in my top 3 musicians who've ever walked this earth. You feel her, you understand her too, you are in touch with your soul. Use that part of yourself to make art and you will move mountains.

[@AshTonnet-dn1we]

it is her talent lol. her unique voice and talent. You will be aspiring your whole life if you aren’t born with it

[@xrixnne4796]

Her voice made me feel so...light, free. I don't even know how to describe that feeling, but when she sang asleep among endives I couldn't stop crying. Love her voice sm.

[@bombyroll]

nice pfp, but yea, I'm not going to lie, hearing those strings come in.. man, I just started crying. Haven't cried in a long time, but that was just beautiful to put it simply.

[@abhimanyusingh6337]

I wish you are doing fine

So calming, so majestic. It feels like we're lost in a fairytale.

[@user-np9il9ew3r]

7:43 is my absolute favourite theres just something about her voice but then the excellent work from the violinists/cellists just adds so much depth to it

[@giuliac4344]

her dress makes her look like a jellyfish !!! she is so amazing

なんでこんな素晴らしい方がテレビの歌番組に出ないのかな、、日本中のテレビ画面から超音波が出るのに。

[@tantowijaya3788]

I'm very grateful that I accidentally listened to your song because of a youtube recommendation. I'm having too much anxiety right now, and your song is helping me cope with it. I cried like a baby because your voice reminded me of my mother's humming when I couldn't sleep as a child. I love you so much. Thank you very much, Ichiko Aoba ❤️

[@abudsul]

I hope you feel alright man. Wish you all the best and stay healthy :)

[@tantowijaya3788]

Thanks for the support man.

[@giofnv]

Ichiko Aoba will have a concert at Jakarta in March, will you come?

[@tantowijaya3788]

@@giofnv of course I'll come

[@ezu8501]

she reminds me exactly of a mother singing to her child.

[@katerinak.2671]

Seabed eden is my favorite piece of 21st century music. Nothing comes even remotely close. And when I think about it, it might actually be my favorite piece of music ever, and that includes all my beloved classical music that I mostly listen to. It resonates with me on a deeper level than anything else I've ever come across. I've wanted to post a comment here for a long time, but I always felt like no words would suffice. I've heard this song probably a hunded times already, yet it still gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. It describes so much that I've never been able to name or express. I'm so glad she got such a huge applause afterwards.

[@nicosanchez_music]

look deep into her eyes at 3:51 and see it's like she's coming waking up from a deep trance. I know that feeling when i play music. Music IS very spiritual whether people realize it or not. So beautiful

[@the_voidgazer]

ichiko's voice is how inner peace would sound like if we could actually hear it.

ストリングス重なった時、涙が出ました…うわあ…生で聴いた方たち羨ましい…

The sweetest, most tender melancholy my heart can bear. The tears purify my soul. Ichiko, arigato gozaimas for the wonderful gift of your lovely spirit to our lives.

[@crzyfdg]

The string musicians are in love with her too as we all are

[@bl0034]

I need her to release a string version of sleep among endives 😭

[@rome8180]

I can't stop listening to this. This music seems to remove all anxiety from my body. I'm a generally anxious person, so being totally calm is a rare thing for me.

[@ritwikchakraborty2397]

Ended up crying. Oh it's so beautiful. I'm so grateful to Aoba-san for creating music. How can I ever do something of equal measure for her?

[@macoco7771]

ほんとうにうつくしくて、やさしくて、満たされます。市子さんの声を聴いていると自然と涙が溢れます。

[@xertiasstrat8957]

美しい、それは確かに. 崇高な声

[@cassthesmelly6006]

her voice is like a fresh breath of air

[@sk8boredd]

As a child, I really wanted to play guitar or drums, but rn I'm kinda just forced to play saxophone. So I just hate being stuck with something that I myself hate.. I've tried so many times to see if I still had that spark for my saxophone, but nothing. I keep on crying to my parents whenever I can't play a song that they like. Ichiko Aoba has helped me let out my emotions whenever I'm alone, or can't feel anything myself. Thank you.

[@hamadalibutt7984]

You can be 60,70 even 80 and still learn an instrument don't give up on your dreams so early in life kid.

[@Merlincat007]

May I recommend you try effects pedals? They can let you radically change the tone of your instrument and make it sound like other instruments. Or just add lovely embellishment of the saxophone sound with reverb and echo. You will need a microphone into an adapter into the pedals into an amplifier or PA system.

[@hacheguioneme]

She is a forest spirit. No doubt.

[@rueberrypie]

I'm crying from this omg, i love her voice so much it's so comforting ❤😭

[@マイクマ]

彼女の声とストリングスがかわりばんこになる度に肌が感嘆してるよ。

[@user-np9il9ew3r]

I get goosebumps everytime I hear you sing

[@Intinsion]

This song it's just so perfect, everything about it, to the key it's played in, down to the vocals. Everything is just so wonderful. The lyrics of the song are written in Japanese and describe a dream-like state of being surrounded by endives, a type of leafy vegetable. The meaning of the song is open to interpretation, but many listeners have interpreted it as a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and the search for meaning in the midst of uncertainty. Some have also suggested that the endives in the song could symbolize growth, change, or the passage of time. Ultimately, the meaning of the song is up to the listener to decide based on their own interpretation and personal experiences.

[@illl730]

i could listen to this forever and i won't complain 😩😩✋🏻

[@ghettocomplex]

it's like a dream. love her everything.

とてもヒプノティックで美しい曲で大好きです。Seabed Edenと市子さんがタイトルを言った後、観客の反応がなかったのはEdenの発音がイーデンじゃなくてエデンだったからと、このコンサートに一緒に行った日本語勉強中のイギリス人が言ってましたね。

the whistle at 3:16 , i don't know why but it always makes me calm, after hearing this i couldn't stop chiming that whistle from time to time

i love the person behind her to her left in the orchestra. occasionally shaking their head, as if in disbelief of the beauty they’re hearing. the person to her right looks like they could burst into tears. 💗
