Fujii Kaze - Shinunoga E-Wa
I had first came across this song as I was scrolling through TikTok one day. I had never heard this song before then and I was interested after seeing the clip. I looked up the live version above on YouTube and I've been hooked ever since. Fujii Kaze's talent is amazing. His piano skills are impeccable. This is shown in his transition from intense to soft on the piano at the beginning of the video. I can tell he's been playing for years and has found his voice through the piano and plays in a way that is unique to him. I also really love his voice. He sounds like a tenor but his voice can also hit low registers, which he showcases in his verses. He also does some really nice runs in the beginning and throughout the song. I liked his performance so much that I looked into more of his music and now he's one of my favorite artists. Even though some of his songs have some American influence, he stays true to his Japanese culture, not just linguistically, but showcasing traditional Japanese artifacts or expressions in his videos and lyrics. I like the variety and versatility he has as an artist because he combines languages, other cultures, makes different types of music, and even fashion. Definitely recommend checking him out!
I listened to this song with the English subtitles on the first time so when I went back and listened to it again, I wanted to see if I could recognize some words by just hearing them. I recognized あなた, それ, でも, わたしの, and この. When I looked up the Japanese lyrics, I didn't recognize any of the kanji, but I understood the English lyrics he had and the hiragana before and after the kanji.
