I don't even have the words to describe how I feel about his work. The more I discover this man's music the more enthralled I became.

[@doggotbitm]

i keep thinking i've found my favorite song of his and then i hear another one and i'm like, nope definitely this one. then rinse and repeat. the live interactive version of this song is actual insanity.

His sing is special, I can feel like I'm in a new world everything I listen to his song

[@KuraSourTakanHour]

His music often makes me imagine exotic or epic scenes, hearing this track play to usher in the end of the world; imagining the final struggle to survive an unprecedented catastrophe, and the people's deepest dread at the thought their whole lives will be annihilated so instantly, as they hope for a miracle escape.

[@assiend]

Today I was assigned by my peers in a group work to study and summarise the history of a region in the highlands of my country and there´s a large part that refers to the conquest of the territory by the spaniards (I´m peruvian) and how they kicked out the natives and the way they tortured and executed the rebels to show supremacy and then this song comes up in my shuffle selection and I´m just like "I can feel the dread of the people back then, just by hearing this" This carries so much emotion, he combines the sounds so perfectly to create the atmosphere that whatever you would do would be useless and eventually you will perish, but somehow you are still in denial.

[@han__nya]

I associate this song with Guts, and currently bingewatching HnK so that could also apply to some extent to Kenshiro since both are rather similar. Basically what I picture while listening to this song is a desolated wasteland, and a lone figure roaming it endlessly, while fighting all kinds of demons figuratively or literally. The burden he bears is so big, since he has to shoulder all the hopes of humanity basically. I wish I was good enough at art to try and capture it, and even then I feel like it won't be epic enough.Out of all Hirasawa's songs this one is the most epic I feel, in terms of the emotions it conveys. It has a sense of dread, especially at the beginning, but then it slowly builds up to something akin to hope.Such an inspiring piece.

[@自由人あやと]

最初らへんで泣きそうになった

[@acrowsnest_t6630]

Prob nothing like this out there. The beat, the synth, the vibe. Realy cool shit

[@girigirijoe]

This song is deeply layered with meaning.. and most definitely Hirasawa created it on the basis of his experiences with the transgender community in Thailand. The lyrics, not just in this song but in the songs throughout this album describe a location in an alleyway in Thailand as a place in which one can live as one chooses, in perhaps another person's life from the past, maybe someone who never even existed. Further, it seems, that they are 'beckoning' one to do so. To break away from reality, and escape to this 'SIM CITY' .. well secluded in one's own reality.

I know nothing about Susumu's personal story, just his music. Was this in an interview or something?
