松下誠 Love was really gone

これまた３０年以上前の誠ちゃん、、若い！！当然だけど。
芳野藤丸ライブより、、、。

This is the only live video of Makoto? Depressing.. One of my favorite funk musicians.... wish I could find First Light on vinyl. Would fly to Japan just to see Makoto live!

[@flanno4549]

search for first light on discogs.com it's there

[@Sevianko]

I agree with you. He is so underrated... his works are classic

[@clocktownresident5709]

[@thenoobletlego]

Love was really gone.. And this music is gone too. Why.. I don't get it. I can't stand it. In America, I can't turn on the radio. I can't visit the grocery store. I can't go to a bar. I can't live without drama and hatred.

[@babygirl6789]

He is my favorite citypop singer No lie He makes beautiful works of art Instrumentally and vocally he is magnificent

[@henriquesion]

I was converted of Tatsuro Yamashita's stardom to Makoto Matsushita's simplicity. You don't need to have outstanding vocals to be a great singer. I believe Matsushita is nearer the "wabi-sabi" concept. He is simple; that's why I started to love his oeuvres.

[@Connor-ll7ii]

@@henriquesiontatsuro really is overrated. I think Hideki Saijo, Hiromi Go, and Kiyotaka Sugiyama are way better.

[@vava4743]

@@Connor-ll7ii Kiyotaka Sugiyama, Yoshino Fujimal, Toshiki Kadomatsu, Hiroshi Sato. A lot of singers that surpasses or are on par with Yamashita.

[@MaigenZamora]

He's my favorite too 😍

[@user-ik4rk7ju9i]

His diction of English lyrics is so wonderful!

[@fldrh]

Listened to this song one day in 2014 while digging for random music on youtube. I still remember the feeling of listening to it for the first time .. if only I could go back to the moment 🥹 I've listened to so much "city pop" since then but this song and the whole First Light album will be my absolute favorites. 松下さんありがとう　🙏

[@OG_Smoker82]

I found it on a random Spotify suggested playlist and just absolutely fell in love with the whole First Light album. It’s so crazy to me that I found an album that came out before my dad was even born and it became one of my favorites.

Why am I so late to the party ? I only discovered this song this week. Sheer smoothness. Hearing him live really highlights what amazing musicality he has (vocally, especially). Amazing !

what happened to this guy?? he a legend man

[@clocktownresident5709]

The most recent thing I could find about him is that he's in a group called AB's. If you search 'AB's LIVE Into the Light' you can find a video from 2007, Makoto is the guitarist with the long hair. Hope that helps!

[@dylanr.cerezo4325]

Noctis Altura the contemporary jazz guitarists worldwide kinda died down past the 2000s. Norman brown, Benson, etc. They still perform and make music as far as I know, they just ain't in the limelight
