This composition age of ascent has been a calming vibe as I am going through this cancer pause, I play it when I am feeling anxious it calms my spirit. Thank you for such a beautiful piece of music.

[@Ale_jandra855]

All good? 😊 Sending you vibes full of health and good energy!

[@henderickmitchell6941]

May this or anything in this world calms and heals you sis.

This song is why the loop button on youtube was invented

I will never be disappointed by this band.

freedom is now granted you, from the depths of each brass note. Exhale in unison, we rest in the melody. Kokoroko thanks is given to you for holding us. We breathe truth here,

[@techtipsninja]

There's something about this piece; just can't place my hands on it. It's like a missing part of the earth; everyone needs it😊

[@thesavannalady]

This band. THIS BAND.

Thanks to TikTok I learned about this band and am now a new fan! This song is magic.

Charming BASS!!!

Just heard this on the radiooo, I knew I was missing something in my life 😭🔥🔥🔥

[@chillstlye19]

This melody literally has me melting into my seat 💺 I'm in love with this island/Caribbean jazz vibe ❤❤

[@808Tunahed]

Special Vibe that hits just right every time. Love this evolving groove. BLess Up!!!!

[@quinmosely7981]

I need to see yall in US 🇺🇸!

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

Wow this is way more chill than what I was expecting. Could almost be "Black Sands" era Bonobo. That's a collab I'd love to see in the near future.

[@macnsteez3938]

This band is so dope like that.. dreamy beautiful tracks like this mixed in with high energy afrobeat/big band jazz standards. They have serious versatility!

[@henderickmitchell6941]

I can see that but on an afro vibe.

[@therecordrealm]

This is beautiful. I'm planning to play this on my radio show next week.

[@dankargin]

Awesome! This track plays inside my head the third day in a row

[@siiicar7124]

the way Kokoroko is written there is pretty cool, i love it. And this song is very nice

[@silversurfer71hw69]

We saw them last night at the Philarmonie in Paris before Made Kuti & Femi Kuti. They were brilliant! Love the combination of trumpet & trombone.

[@michellesoltau7143]

Absolutely love this song! It came up randomly and I have not stopped playing it since. This song introduced me to your band. Thank you for your music

[@jacobpantin7803]

I’m getting a lot of Nujabes vibes from the new stuff and I’m loving it.

[@desert_holly]

Really?! I was thinking more along the lines of old radiohead.

[@jacobpantin7803]

@@desert_holly The beginning of this song really reminds me of Shiki no Uta/Beat Laments the World in particular

[@desert_holly]

@@jacobpantin7803 okay okay I can see that! I don't find too many true nujabes fans. That makes me happy. You'd probably enjoy Gabor Szabo - Dreams full album then. I hear Seba and Tommy Guerrero influences throughout. Total masterpiece.

[@jacobpantin7803]

@@desert_holly I’ll give it a listen!

[@DeadWhiteButterflies]

Can you imagine the collab in an alternatw time lines tho? That would be sick as hell! 😁
