Kenji Kawai - Innocence [LIVE]

[@BEN-ZO]

There is a word called Kotodama in Japan. Kotodama is the spiritual power that is generally believed to reside in words in Japan. Did you feel it too? This overwhelming power.

[@GaaraSama1983]

I like the spiritual approach that Japan has. It speaks to me much more than western spiritual culture which is mostly based on the big religions.

15/08/2121 WONDERFUL. I would like to see this performed live....wherever! It is so different to "classical" music but is equal to the finest there is. The drummer in black and white shirt is working overtime. Interesting how drum music and the singing (words or sounds?) can be so effective. Cheers from Australia, one and all!

[@aaronnam1444]

I'm a violinist, so I enjoy classical music. But I agree this is as good and beyond classical music!

[@SoWhosGae]

The sounds of human voices accompanying the rythm of the drums are embedded in our DNA as humans.

[@ikenzz]

2121?

[@RedRocket4000]

It is performed by a Symphony with Chorus thus it is Classical Music. But as you say different in some ways from the European roots of Classical. But having several European classical instruments in use still Classical as well. Classical of course a misnomer plenty of Classical Music being made and scoring some of the biggest movies in many cases and being made by converting other genre to it. Good Musicians who listen to all genre often want to move their work up into the genre they admire and many of the pieces do move up very well.

[@serdukoff]

Breathtaking, otherworldly music... Seems like a few years ago we were able to watch this in high definition. That is no longer available?

La luna no brilla ni de día ni de noche, y el pájaro nocturno grita de tristeza. Cuando volteé a mirar, todas las flores se habían caído. Era como si todo el consuelo se hubiera desvanecido del mundo. Mientras los dioses parten para reunirse en el nuevo mundo, Amanece, Y el pájaro nocturno grita. Las flores suplican a los dioses. "Aunque en este mundo podamos conocer el dolor y el sufrimiento", "Nuestros sueños nunca morirán", y caen de la rama con ira.

C'est de la musique sacrée. Ces voix terrifiantes. Ces chanteuses extraterrestres. Elles sont comme les cierges d'église ; alignées, géométriques, et pourtant tellement hétérogènes. Leur voix tremblotantes comme les flammes des bougies. Le bassiste nonchalant, qui pose sa note comme le bedot les livres de prières sur les bancs. Et puis ce satané percussionniste, musculeux, viril, guerrier, déterminé, suant, stoïque. C'est de la musique sacrée. Une grand-messe dédiée à l'humanité.

Yes oh so much so they still human. But especially Motoko having to deal with being so much more as well being a Internet being and the combination of her soul with the soul of one of the first true AI, not the false marketing term AI which is not intelligent. One can say though the AI she merged with was doing so to become human. This the most broad definition of human that is not limited to homo sapiens. I call is self willed intelligence that is wise, flawed and love at the core. All the best traits we think of ourselves.
