This song was so much when I heard it for the first time way back, and it still plays in my heart. Rest in peace :(

[@fernandocarvalho9256]

I like it much. As well as the the theme Love. I listen theme both every noite

[@nabilsalha1941]

I listen to this version in lockdown alot, when i was numb, down and hopeless, ryuichi’s music was melancholic but it helped see the beauty in a horrible time. I will never forget what his music has done to me, thank you Mr sakamoto❤️

My wife's plants love this song.

[@twenty1pills]

To me this song represents sorrow and loneliness, towards the end of the song there's a sense of realization that things do pass and eventually you are at peace with it. Just like life and death.

[@sandipsamanta6145]

Sadness & Grief r put together in this melody. In the end it is more about acceptence. Everytime I listen to it, it hits even harder, brings back memories and follow up with an epiphany...

[@antonimosanonimos8970]

Rest in peace.

첫소절을 듣는순간 눈물이 핑 돌았습니다. 돌아가신 아버님 할머니가 생각나고 보고싶어서요. 영원한 이별이 아닌 언젠가 또 만날 날을 고대합니다. 그곳에서 행복하세요. 사랑합니다

1:10 OMG I love it. I remember I'd get so frustrated when I'd always squeak out a false harmonic when I didn't mean to and could never seem to get one out when I actually meant to haha. But here it's used to such great melancholic effect. The faltering between false harmonic and real tone is ethereally beautiful and reminiscent of someone's voice breaking during a soulful song.

つい今し方、坂本龍一さんがお亡くなりになられたという号外が出た。一人のファンにすぎないが、悲しい、寂しい。その楽曲の素晴らしさについては、多くの方々がコメントをされると思いますが、自分が最も好きなのは、この作品です。最初に聴いた時、なんとなく、親しい人の死を悼んでいるような切ない曲だと感じたのを覚えています。そして今、この曲を聴いて、その時よりもずっと深い切なさを感じました。 心よりご冥福をお祈りいたします。

[@puppable]

This song was the first that came to my head when I learned. His passing is a loss to the whole world.

[@Ko-xl7ny]

@@puppable ご返信をくださり、ありがとうございます。「彼の死は全世界にとっての損失です」という､ あなたの言葉に、私はとても共感します。彼の作品は永遠に愛されつづけると、私は思います。

This song has so much strength that it always seems to bring me to tears. Good tears. Tears of someone who wants to see themselves better again.

Like some other Sakamoto musics it males me feel in peace. In a world of fantasy.

정말 심적으로 힘들었을때 더 힘들게 했던 노래라 첫 반주 3초만에 그때 그 시절이 99%느껴짐.. ㅠ 힘들었을때 왜 자꾸 들었는지 이해가 안갔지만..

정말 힘들때 이 음악은 한없이 더 힘들고 외로움을 느끼게 합니다..펑펑 울고나면 또다시 힘내서 살아가게 하는..나의 음악..나이가 들어서도 또 듣게되네요 .. 젊은날의 내가 기억나고.. 늘 내곁에 있던 사카모토의 음악..사랑합니다

[@huashivang5466]

I love how a lot of the comments here are so melancholy and honestly, this song really hits me. I listen to this song a lot when I feel very lonely and it really fills my void of loneliness here. I gotta say that violin makes me feel so sad

I disagree. Beauty is the art of Truth.

[@Mrs.MadisonElise]

@@enyelcalato891 No, it's actually not! :) I wear makeup to accentuate my face, not to put a mask on it. I hardly ever wear makeup on a daily basis and I don't feel as if I need it in order to be beautiful either.
