Just a clarification here: I’m NOT the rights owner of this song, I just happen to own this record since a looong time and uploaded here. Carti or his producer sampled this upload, not my business to deal with the legal part of all this so stop asking to clear the sample! Thank you.

>hears plastic love >wants more >goes deep into japanese city pop rabbit hole >they tryna be cray

Theres 3 type of people 1) Japanese pop lovers 2) iacon/ vaporwave listeners 3) kid cudi listeners

Old Japanese songs just hits different its on another magical level

Whoever suggested Mai should sing Cowboy Bebop's ending theme is a legend. She was PERFECT for that show.

2015 comments: 80's J-pop is great! 2019 comments: they tryna be craig

The guitarist really didn't have to flex that hard.

everybody needa talk about the guitar solo too because it’s so heavenly

Carti Fans: YOU TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME! Mai Yamane: I don't even know who you are...

love the fact that in both versions we ain’t understanding shit but still vibing

I remember listening to this song on the radio way back in the 80's. First heard it at 12. Fell in love.

Can we talk about her vocals too, besides the carti beat sample the song has absolutely amazing vocals. She’s absolutely amazing

Damn Pierre did his thing sampling that beginning part

That guitarist ain’t have to flex like that but they did

I literally got goosebumps cause I wasn't expecting to hear that melody. I was just looking for old japanese samples🥴

I just fucking found this song on Spotify and added it to my playlist earlier today. A few hours later and it's gone without a trace. Bruh.

she wanna meet carti!* that bih is a barbie+*🦋

_This is a certified hood classic_

I am hooked on Japanese Funk. It's a wonderful way for me to hear samples of my 80's faves with a new twist.

こんな音楽が80年代に生まれていたなんて…

Fun fact: she's the singer of "The Real Folk Blues" from Cowboy Bebop

who ever was playing that guitar was definitely making love to it

I love the ending just being *wind* since the song is about longing for someone who has left you already

>Be Mai >Makes one of the most iconic city pop intros >Makes one of the most iconic anime outros >Refuse to elaborate >Leaves

still don't get it how rap producers find songs like this masterpiece and sample them, like HOW, DO YALL FIND IT lmaoo

Lmao forget Carti this the chick who sung the cowboy bebop ED

I've loved this song for over 8 years! ❤ Flying into Tokyo for the first time and listening to that beginning is a feeling I will never be able to replicate in this life 💓🙏🏾

The guitar solo at 3:38 gives me literal goosebumps every damn time 🔥

Fun Fact: Mai Yamane also sung the Cowboy Bebop ending theme, The Real Folk Blues and some vocal songs for the Cowboy Bebop original soundtrack.

she got the baddest pose in the game you can't lie

I've lost the count on how many times i've listened to this masterpiece

I swear this song makes me feel a way that I can't even explain! the intro, the vocals, the lyrics, everything is just amazing I'm so addicted to this song

Older music is just ahead of its time. I love

Listening to this while blowing up an Arby’s Bathroom

Fico me perguntando porque essas musicas não tocam nas rádios 😢. Isso sim é talento!

damn Japanese artists be making fiya beats for people to sample

Came for the beginning Stayed for the rest...

The guitarist made a great solo! The way he flexes it's just amazing!

THIS IS THE SAMPLE!!!?!!??!?! OH MY GOD

Tasogare Guitarist = Careless Whisper Saxophonist

Lets be honest. The intro gives me such a satisfying feeling. And pierre bourne did a sick job on sampling that!!

I remember listening to the play boi carti song back in 9th grade high-school. And I stumbled on to this song, man the nostalgia. I miss 2019 and 2018 too.

I don't even understand how that beginning melody is even made. How cam human ears create something so great

That beginning part is an eargasm

i came here from carti, but i found this much more pleasing

Holy crap the guitar and the vocals make this song so goddamn sexy

As a German I close my eyes and get a clue of what Japan culture was like in the 80s when listening to this music. I wish I would have been there.

When I first head this I was like “Why her voice sound familiar?” Then I realized who she was from her name! She did the music in Cowboy Bebop! Unforgettable vocalist!!

I did NOT expect this beat when KZfaq recommended this...

One of the best guitar solos

Mai Yamane and Yoko Kanno have worked together on a ton of stuff, as far back as Macross Plus, Kanno's second anime soundtrack. Two unbelievably legendary women. God, Mai's voice is unreal.

Amazing how KZfaq works. You watch the genius video on the new carti leak and you get recommended this and it blows up

imagine hitting the shuffle button on a city pop playlist then this song comes on and you're like "wait a fucking second"

1:32 her soulfull vocals paired w/ that guitar is such a beautiful blend of sounds 🥹

Eu gostaria que todos os meus amigos ouvissem essa música ao menos uma vez na vida.

bruh whoever made the beginning I'm on my hands and knees for you

japan has prolly most underrated music in the world

I love that you can hear that this is a vinyl upload, my bose headphones are like: finally, MUSIC!

I don't know why but japanese music have a total different style that even it is common in the rest of western music, is completly amazing and magic. J-rock, J-pop, City-pop, Fusion and even the funky ones. It's, no less, amazing...

Music is a universal language, I didn’t get a word she said but dis beautiful asf

What a shame that this masterpiece isnt on spotify.

Какой же шикарный голос, япония 80-х видимо была другой Сейчас тоже много классной музыки, но от старых песен крайне приятный вайб

WAIT SO THIS IS WHERE IT CAME FROM?? ITS BEEN LIKE 5 YEARS AND I ACCIDENTALLY LISTENED TO THIS??? ain’t no way bro

Nobody: Me:*starts song* Everyone:*souls have left the chat*

THAT BEAT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD SO HARDDDD

I didn't read the description until now, thanks for the vinyl rip!!!

very strong voice! Beautiful🧡 made me think of Johnny Hallyday, Patricia Kass

Oooooh the singer from Cowboy Bebop. Her voice is unmistakable ❤️❤️❤️

I remember when these videos had only Japanese comments😂😂😂

Oh, this song. It makes me feel a certain way I've never felt before... The rhythm, the vocals, the quiet but lovely bass in the background. I love it all. Mai-san makes only the best and deepest songs ever! Seeing what it really means warms my heart, for the lyrics are beautiful. Thank you, Mai-san.

Vim pelo massaru, Brazil s2

To everyone who's here because of Carti... welcome to City Pop.. you're in for a hell of a rabbit hole.

80's Japanese Funk: A Rare Luxury

Listening to this song at 5:30 a.m., watching the sun rise while you're with your family on a 2 hour road trip is the best feeling in the world.

WHYYYY ISNT THIS ON SPOTIFY THE GUITAR IS ORGASMIC AND THE VOCALS AND THE BEGINNING AND EVERYTHING

both kid cudi and this are amazing holy shit

The intro makes me feel like I’ve just stepped into a different world

Just heard this song in a coffee shop listening bar in S.Korea and I am forever grateful!!!

I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A SAMPLE I KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS ON PIANO THIS MAKES THAT 100 TIMES COOLER

I was homeless for a month and a half. I had nothing but my small amount of income, 1980's Japanese music and my 1993 Mazda Miata. I can't tell you how many days I felt like ending it all... But this beautiful gem and so many others playing through my Miata's headrest speakers saved my life.... THANK YOU Mai Yamane... Thank you Maria Takeuchi... Thank you Junko Yagami.. And so many others... I owe you my life. Life does get better and I will NEVER forget beautiful 1980's Japanese music and the effect It had on me... I'm hard pressed to find any other type of music that would have put me in the right frame of mind like this did... Forever

jesus that guitar riff just hops in like "yeah. im here to smash."

Great song - thanks for uploading it! I had no idea it was on KZfaq.

Thank you carti, thank you pierre 🔥

this is criminally underrated

Her voice is so breathy and raspy. I love it!

I don't know what 1980s Japan was feeding their Bass players but GYYAD DAM, funky overload.

je découvre et je suis très agréablement surpris.👍🙏très bon style

This must be the ending credits for 2020

not sure why youtube keeps recommending me japanese songs from the 70s 80s recently but ive loved every single one hah

Finally on spotify.

best guitar solo ever

0:00 got me flying across the club

To anyone wondering why this isn't on streaming: Seeing when there's old music that for the most part of it's existence has not been popular it's often up to whatever label is the rightsholder after all these years to specifically get the stuff on platforms. It's not nearly as simple as you think, in short not every song out of the millions that exist is gonna be up "just because". That being said....... _WE NEED EVERY MAI YAMANE SONG ON STREAMING NOW, SHE IS AMAZING_

this song is a rocker, a banger, an all around hanger. thanxxx!!!

This was randomly in my recommended. I do not regret clicking it.

When she recorded this album, she was only 20 years old. It sounds so mature, your voice is so sexy and elegant, pure talent. 2021 and still my jam ❤

Whoever made this melody probably gained the power of flight

Carti's biggest opp fr

the sound of the vinyl make this a thousand times better
