Nikaido Kazumi shuts up the crowd at El Rio, SF

[@Kinglushkush]

Honestly, her voice melts me

[@IamYou86]

She makes me proud to be a human! I heard several thousand years of history in her voice and what a ride it was. Love it love it love it

[@SquareYourFace]

I was there last night. Nikaido blew my mind. She's so talented1...she deserves to be well known.

[@coinbird1]

Here's a translation. The budding of love. When I'm next to you My heart pounds I can't stop it My strange dancing heart I never thought I'd fall in love so easily It's staggering It's on my budding cheeks A very close and Very far person I can't get passed it What an innocent heart Buried deep A hard and closed heart I thought Shaking and coming undone It crumbles The boat I jumped on, now, starts floating away towards you The season of fragrant air I met that person

[@bomapdich]

do you have the lyric

[@LoneSchiffer]

coinbird1 Thanks!

[@Blackoutproject]

I've never seen something more beautiful than this, it feels like an ode to oblivion, like a song that resonates through time. A song that would show what emotion we had as humans, something ancient and timeless in her voice. I've not cried this hard since I first heard "Farewell Transmission" or "Our Last Night Together"...

[@Spazayd]

Do you not understand how beautiful this is? Her voice sounds like a damn violin.

[@pinkcooky]

Her voice is like..1 million tiny angels hugging my soul through the deep waters of the amazon river flooding my brain with its magestic and magical sounds.

[@rambutan9602]

i fell in love with her voice years ago and only remembered her again this 2021

[@COGsoldier17]

I want this stunningly beautiful song and vocal performance by her played at my funeral. This made my eyes tear up.

[@SilentBiscuit333]

This gives me chills. Very nice voice

[@bribri1273]

It's almost like she's singing straight from her soul.

[@JesseGilbride]

she is wonderful.

[@bronyatheistfedora]

Did she just sing an instrument

[@pianoblack13]

in case anyone is wondering, the song is called "The song of love's bud" (houga koi uta, literally, bud-love song)

[@LuciaSeelie]

Just.... Beautiful. Magical. Gorgeous. So many words to describe this, but none of them do her justice.

[@mattony23]

its just so beautiful i cant stop listening to it.

[@mrgame1357]

i feel like i have been hugged...incredible

[@melanieenmats]

Ah suddenly I cried... THank you so beautiful..

[@ladybirdg5658]

This song is on her NIJIMI/Mezame no Uta album, for those who might still be looking. You can find it on amazon and other sites, I'm sure

[@Anunymous8]

Beautiful... just beautiful.

[@calvinpingree3972]

When I'm next to you My chest pounds I can't stop this For some reason I have a dancing heart Really? Falling in love this easily For a person like me, confoundment on these burning cheeks A very close A very far person I can't get past it Thoroughly like a virgin's heart Put away in the back Hardened closed, my loving heart While it trembles it comes apart It starts to crumble The jumped into boat, with you, starts to sail The season of sweet winds Is when I stumbled upon that person

[@prashantgupta6885]

wtf...she is not human...she is magical

[@lizzythegraceful]

I actually started to clap at the end of this video...alone in my bedroom, before realizing where I was again.

[@Qp0wer]

She sung a Cover of Shonen Knife's Classic "Tortoise Brand Pot Cleaner's Theme" on the 25th Anniversary Tribute Album "Fork And Knife"! Beautiful Version!

[@CrownOfTheTown]

People are fucking rude.

[@ShotTower1]

Wow when she started I was looking in the background for some kind of instrument making that sound.

[@tmskatap]

[@Boody1332]

The name of the song is in the description of the video.

[@degenererad]

[@gabi_bird]

Beautiful. I imagined her singing to a Miyazaki film. :)

[@LoneSchiffer]
