Cannot believe it's already been a week since the release of this masterpiece. Have been listening to it every day! Just wanted to check you have it copyrighted though Elijah, as I have seen other channels sharing this entire album with no link to this original source... One in particular I just saw was from "Mr Momo". Hope you keep on top of it as everyone's going to want to cash in on this gem of yours.
'Gaijin' helped me to stay in the mood a few months ago, when I was writing my degree thesis and I was in the lab, trying to focus. And now? Now I'm studying for my master degree and the Gaijin is still here, because "The story continues", right? Thank you for your awesome work, wish you the best of luck
I remember sitting in a cocktail bar in Seoul. This album played in the background, and I had no idea who produced the tracks. I am so glad I have Shazam on my iPhone and found out about Elijah. To say I was vibing to this the entire night is a vast understatement. This was bliss.
@@GalenKiserrr True, true bro... What I meant was that I have deep appreciation to the Artist who created this but of course God is the real 'address' of my gratitude, like you said.
This is my 1st time listening to you Eliah Nang. Consider the Like button smashed👍,Comment is commented👨💻 and the Subscribe button upgraded to "Subscribed"🧧. God bless you. 神のお恵みがありますように
I've discovered japanese lo-fi last year and been listening to random playlists on Spotify. One day i suddenly noticed that all my fav songs from the playlists are yours :D so I discovered Gaijin a few months ago, so so so happy that Gaijin II is coming out tomorrow! absolutely in love with the whole story, as a full European that feels home in Japan, your music really soothes my soul….
This song is amazing. However, this one is much more rough-hewn, but it is innovative and artistic. Please ask if you like . |This is sampled beat music devised by artificial intelligence (Part 1)| (demo) SOUEI YAMAOKA
I've been obsessed with your craft for the past two years, ever since I got it off a friend's recommendation. And I'd forgotten you were good for my mental health. Glad to be here again.
I've been listening to LoFi Hip Hop for the longest time. If I hadn't come across bootleg boy's Japanese LoFi Hip Hop mix on Spotify I wouldn't have found out that there's a subgenre called Japanese LoFi nor would I have known about Elijah Nang. So props to bootleg boy for exposing me to a whole new world of LoFi and making me a stan of Elijah's work!
@@elijahnang90 Of course!!! A Conversation With The Blacksmith just helps me focus so much. I can't thank you enough for all the hours of calmness and resulting productivity you've given me as a result. Please link where to purchase this when it comes out (Bandcamp), I obviously will stream 10,000x on Spotify.
What do I say. This whole album was an epic journey, just like the last time Ive stumbled across the previous Gaijin. This is the kind of music where you take it by the album, not individual songs and it makes landmarks in your life. Thanks Elijah.
The first Gaijin album has a special place in my heart, i started listening to in when i was in a pretty dark place and it helped me throughout me trying to be someone better. Since about november and i've been taking some steps back, now I'm getting back on the horse and lo and behold here is Gaijn II! Thanks for sharing your incredible talent!
35:00 "I'm writing a poem about a dream I had. The tiger's eyes are like my own, But he comes from across a deep and troubled sea." Finally I have found where these lines originate from - "The Last Samurai". For those who like to dig deep, here is an interpretation of this mysterious quote: "The Last Samurai is a 2003 Hollywood epic, a Japanese-American co-production, which tells the story of Nathan Algren (Tom Cruise), an American Civil War soldier, who goes to Japan. Disillusioned by the American Civil War and the Indian Wars, in which he fought and lost his ideals and moral values, Algren becomes an egoistic, greedy, permanently drunk soldier, who has no respect for himself or anyone else. At the same time, thousands of miles away, Katsumoto (Watanabe Ken), a Japanese Samurai warrior, has to witness how his world falls apart when Japan becomes more and more westernized. ... Not only Algren but also Katsumoto crosses cultural and mental frontiers. Both are affected by the encounter with a foreign culture and although they come from different cultural backgrounds, they share similar experiences and ideals as warriors. This is emphasized in one of the key scenes of the movie, when Katsumoto starts to write a poem about his encounter with the American. The poem starts with the lines: "The tiger's eyes are like my own. But he comes from across a deep and troubled sea." By this, Katsumoto expresses that he and Algren, as warriors and human beings, are very much alike and only come from different cultural backgrounds."

Holy shmoly! Gaijin album was and still is an absolute diamond in disguise... I've had it for about a year now, if not longer and it's worth every penny. Upon seeing this that Gaijin II is being released and continues the story, I just HAD to head over to Band Camp to preview it! Shall be pre-ordering tomorrow, bright and early!
Thanks to you and your amazing songs i have reached a state of peace in my mind where i can work, study or simply relax without a bit of stress or anxiety. I have big goals that i want to achieve in life and your music will help me threw the process. I truly hope you release more in the future, big fan. And to everyone reading this, you have a great taste in music.
I have lost count of how many times I have listened to Gaijin during the writing process of my thesis, it is simply the best way to help me focus on writing! Thus, I am SO looking forward to indulging in this new project! I absolutely adore this Asian Lofi atmosphere, splendid work 🏯🎋🎎
damn dude this is better than the first one- I can hear that you have been training to hone your craft since the first Gaijin came out. This is so sick and so well mixed and so cool! Good job.
truly you have created beats that speak to the soul, I stumbled across Gaijin quite by accident about a year ago and find myself coming back often, and now you have outdone yourself again. I thank you for the many times your music has helped me through difficult times. always your fan -Ryan
seems like it was forever... then you come home... sounds like you had a good time... you're telling great stories of your experiences... As any wandering Samurai would...
Don't even know how I got here but this is straight after listening to all of Gaijin I. This is amazing work, and makes me wanna put in some more work! Hopefully one day I can make bodies of work this inspiring.
19k views within 6 days for such great music. People are sleeping on this or something. This is by far one of my most favorite lofi channels and albums. I have been listening for hours to this beautiful and calming music while working on some Minecraft projects for my channel. A lot of those tracks would make the best background music for Let's Plays and live streams.
These beats are fire. Plus the story makes the music so much more captivating. Thanks Elijah for creating such awesome music that I can listen to while I study for my finals!!!
I stumbled across you on Spotify for some strange reason （運命か？）a few years back and upon listening I was immediately transported back to my days living in Japan. It was one of the most magical nostalgic rides of my life. I introduced you to my friends with whom I share a special kindred connection (the experience of Japan) and they immediately identified similarly. Keep the beats up, my man.
Been listening to Gaijin I for a few months now, this is the first time Gaijin II was recommended to me. So maybe it's just not being recommended the same way to people? Still super weird though. This is a great hour of music :)
Gaijin was one of my first interests in lo-fi and it has been on my Chill playlist since the day I heard it. Thankfully I was listening to it yesterday, and today the Google algorithm sent me a notification about this beauty. Thank you for yet another awesome tracklist!
Discovered Gaijin yesterday, listened to it on repeat and shared it on FB ( something I never do ) and now I find Gaijin's sequel? This feeling when things are meant to happen... ~ Can't thank you enought for the quality and depth of your work. PLEASE keep this up !!!

for shure
When I'm working out, on the job, or just chilling, I play your beats. It's the only music I can actually listen to when I need to focus.
Listening at the gym on leg day, right now. Lol
Same, it has a weird effect, calming and focusing, but also slightly nodding my head to the beat.
My new favourite thing to do is paint my miniatures and listen to this. So chill, so good.
Perfect for a snowy day inside ⛩️🌨️
