Ichiko Aoba - NTS Session

[@someskybooks]

I consider Ichiko Aoba one of the most important musicians in the world today

[@Jeurnoix]

I don't consider her one of the most important, I KNOW she's one of the most important

[@mrcmwuk]

This is a genuine question asked without malice, why do you think she is one of the most important musicians in the world today, and who else would you put up there?

[@someskybooks]

@@mrcmwuk This limited space does not allow me to fully answer your question. It would take a considerable amount of text just to describe the “excellence of the music,”. (and in order to fully appreciate her uniqueness, I think it necessary to have some knowledge of the characteristics of Japanese music culture) Therefore, I would like to limit myself to a few words here. I believe that the profundity of her music is comparable to that of some of the greatest musicians in the history of popular music, such as Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell. You asked who else is currently the best musicians in the world, but this would also make a long list, so I'll just say one person. "Meshell Ndegeocello"

[@mrcmwuk]

​@@someskybooks Thank you for your considered reply. It is much appreciated. Aoba San is an interesting musician, and one that I find to be quite poetic, both sonically and with the songwriting/performance. I first discovered her music through the Yamaha Ginza performance that a few people were discussing. I think her music has a lot of magic in it, it carries it above and beyond the bulk of what constitutes popular music. I'd not heard of Meshell Ndegeocello , so that was an interesting introduction.

Just curious though… why did she devil horn sign right at the beginning?

[@jasonadriel]

clockwork universe literally never gets old

[@Nico-ub7yt]

it is made by anmi yamada even tho her interpretation is beautiful

[@Danny_Lion]

Her melodies feel like the branches of a bonsai tree the way the hop around unexpectedly and yet feel so intentional and comforting

[@trickortralk]

woah, hey, hey ... chill, bro

[@ritwikchakraborty2397]

Woah woah that was an amazing Minashigo no Ame!!! So dreamy! Ah I love how she keep sorta re-inventing her songs while performing them live! Simply amazing.

機械仕掛乃宇宙をラストに歌って頂けて、とてもうれしくて、「やったー」と声が出ました。 デビュー当時頃のお姿が浮かび、その頃の青葉さんと重なりました…あたりまえなことかもしれませんが、ずっと一緒に、息衝いて、共に生きておられているのだと想いました。 しあわせなライヴをありがとうございます。 一月、東京でたのしみにしております。

[@mikosdump]

My god. Ecstatic. Feels like a home I have never been to.

[@shtuffssss]

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

Try reading good literature and get a dictionary and a thesaurus, u should b able to find the adequate words.

The guitar she has been using for many years is a Yamaha CS40J, which costs 16,500 yen (about $110).

Ms Aoba and her music has touched me in a way I cannot even describe, I have been listening to her since 2013-14 and was lucky enough to see her live twice. She is such a treasure to our world

贅沢を言えば「みなしごの雨」は素晴らしい名曲だから電子機器を入れないでフルで聴きたかったな。渡り鳥が下いるという事は自分はそれよりもずっと高い所にいるという事だよね…途方もなく壮大で哀しい曲。
