Had an encounter with a most unpleasant human. Went home & slipped into my garden to commune with things growing and surrounding wildlife to cleanse my being. RUclips music is always playing in my home and even though I started with Hiroshi Yoshimura and autoplay is off and this never should have happened, magical and new to me Takashi Kokubo was playing when I came indoors. So soothing and ethereal and healing and perfect. Thank you..
I ❤️ your music. My son lives in Japan and married a Japanese girl he met at university. I am going over this Autumn 2021 and I cannot wait! They want me to move there... and I just might.
takashi kokubo has been one of the best finds ive ever made on youtube related video adventures. what a singular musician. absolutely gorgeous and emotive.
There’s so much music I was never even aware of until I found your channel. A whole different universe of things to explore and contemplate, it’s never ending! Thanks for your uploads.
I found this randomly on RUclips and Solar Wind has become one of my all time favorite pieces of music.... It is a perfect expression of the vicissitudes of life-- the way it plays back and forth from bright modes to pensive to brooding and back. Often brings me to tears (while I'm working no less-- have to either stop working or shut it off and play some K-pop!)
I do love the gentle sounds of Takashi's music. Helps to let go of the convergences and excaerbation of energies so that I can enjoy the space once again.
Wow... I'm laying here feeling so bizarre being a human being, watching humans being someone else on TV. Albeit this too, is manmade, it somehow transcends reality, I'm getting a strong fantasy aura, as if I discovered a hidden land of fairies, gnomes.... feels sacred/delicate... I'm very grateful for this...
Omg...This is the most pure ambient “music” I’ve heard....I thought “lightwaves of the universe was good”, but this is changing my whole perspective on the genre
OMG ty for another Kokubo masterpiece from the 90's! Very majestic this one but it still has that classic Kokubo sound that he was using at the time, I still imagine being in Zelda or some 90's retro game when I listen. So glad we have you to upload something most of us would have never heard otherwise, Thanks! So relaxing and otherworldly, we love this!
Came to the comments to see if anyone else was feeling like they're swimming through a bonus level of Donkey Kong Country (this is high praise from me)... So dreamy and serene, this album is a keeper❤!!
Thank you so much for this album! I absolutely love Takashi Kokubo, especially the Oasis of The Wind - Forest of Ion album! I super appreciate all the amazing albums that you upload!
Explorar estas montañas sónicas será una experiencia grata. Me siento afortunado de poder vivir en este momento y tener la capacidad de llevar a cabo tal suceso. Su topografía acústica, su imagen audio visual; todo lo que compone esta cordillera de viento solar y vibraciones sanadoras... es impresionante Me pregunto como un paisajes tan terrenal y orgánico ha adoptado esta forma sonora; es como... si no existiese en el plano terrenal, pero si en uno físico Uno que no pertenece a la Geografía, pero si a la acústica topográfica. Espero informar pronto sobre mis hallazgos y experiencias.
Really though! I didn't think it could get better than Barcelona - Gaudi's Dream, but this release is just as good. Definitely going to give it some deeper listening when I go on a hike this weekend. I like having Takashi or Hiroshi or whoever playing on my headphones just quiet enough to hear the bird song in the background of the music. In my opinion, some of the best music helps us to tune in the natural music that is happening all the time around us in the elements and beyond.
Me too. God I love seeing comments like these as I grew up with FFX in the 2000's and I've just recently discovered Takashi Kokubo's music and boy is it reminiscent of FFX's world and soundtrack.
Evocative of old early 90's Westwood adventure games, a bit, and channels the same peaceful natural vibes as the Stardew Valley OST. For peaceful astral exploration times, make it Kokubo times
So apropos now, may we heal any debris from cracking attempts with the Solar Winds of Aurora, in this grand conjoining time of ordered expansion, and expansion of order, as the spark of the redeemer is reborn and matures in its utter vulnerability and Interdependence within each soul! We are Willing to take Me on!
Your comments always make me laugh, for sure, I can provide such a 'blessing' :) I've been pretty inactive lately, and unfortunately it looks like I've come back from some time out to most of the Ion series videos being blocked. I'm guessing its not long before this one goes down too. This should help: #F!SNhH2KQD!-PbtdgnjY5cUdePimTWX0Q add that suffix to the end of the usual upload site and enjoy Let me know if you have any issues!

@@dopaminecloud As a studier of Japanese, he is largely correct. There are sooo many words in Japanese that simply get translated to mean "mysterious", etc, but this particular word implies mysteries of the occult such as religious, supernatural, and other similar kinds of mysteries.
Sure, sorry I took so long to put one up, I didn't realise that I hadn't for this album...

It's nice have a place to ease the mind unfortunately they are to many unpleasant people now a,days
I love both Yoshimura and Takashi!
Beginning to think the universe is speaking to me through these youtube playlists.
I ❤️ your music.
My son lives in Japan and married a Japanese girl he met at university. I am going over this Autumn 2021 and I cannot wait! They want me to move there... and I just might.
If I had the opportunity I'd move to Japan, especially since your son is part of their culture & knows the ropes!
how was your trip back then?
music like this is too pure for our mortal realm
bro you are too good to us
takashi kokubo has been one of the best finds ive ever made on youtube related video adventures. what a singular musician. absolutely gorgeous and emotive.
Thank You Takashi-San. You've created music which brings joy to many many people.
Needed something good to listen to as I’m eating a quesadilla rn…
And here we are
There’s so much music I was never even aware of until I found your channel.
A whole different universe of things to explore and contemplate, it’s never ending!
Thanks for your uploads.
Eric Overstrom the same for me, RUclips recommended is a strange creature but I’m really grateful that it brought me down this road
Christopher Gonzalez Certainly, it has led us to a wonderful source of serenity and clarity.
This is a happy one. Much appreciated.
bless this channel forever

Woweeee! 😄😄💚💚

Fantastic, ... so harmonizing
Thank you for intoroducing me to takashi kokubo. The experience is beyond :-)
Thanks to you I discovered Takashi Kokobu and I listen to it every morning when I do yoga 🙏 bless

ever since discovering this 6 months ago it's become my go-to sleep music every night 💙 many many thanks!!
My happy place is this kind of music
How did I even come across this channel. It's been on autoplay all day at work
MY MAN!!!
First track is like being taken to another world right out of my childhood daydreams. Lovely🌌

I think this may be my favourite TK yet. Lovely sense of space and perfect pacing. Serene and magnificent.
Beautiful. Reminds me of a stillness I'd like to know.
You do know it...because it's you 😉💚
I love the little hints of dissonance in White Ambient.
Very beautiful.
This is my favourite ambient music so far thank you
Perfect post-tornado watch music.
We were waiting for a thunderstorm which didn’t arrive but yes I can see how it is post dramatic weather music
This is almost like ASMR in music form. So relaxing.
this for real gave me asmr tingles and i don't even get asmr tingles from asmr
Thank you so much for this album! I absolutely love Takashi Kokubo, especially the Oasis of The Wind - Forest of Ion album! I super appreciate all the amazing albums that you upload!
Got the new Flying Lotus album last Friday and now this!! It's been a good month for music!

Something about this makes me think back to the soundtrack to FFX.
Me too. God I love seeing comments like these as I grew up with FFX in the 2000's and I've just recently discovered Takashi Kokubo's music and boy is it reminiscent of FFX's world and soundtrack.
Please keep doing this you are making my weeks !!
Much appreciated. I have really enjoyed all the works by Takashi Kokubo that you have uploaded. I hope we can hear the full set in the future.
I love tbis channel so much xoxoxox
"should be asleep" - no name could have been better chosen for this channel.
right, need to wake up in 4 hrs to school, but the music says its ok
Kokubo is the definition of "vibe" music, among other things.
Evocative of old early 90's Westwood adventure games, a bit, and channels the same peaceful natural vibes as the Stardew Valley OST. For peaceful astral exploration times, make it Kokubo times
Thank you Mr. Sleep =)
If you accidentally sniff some horse and then float off to sleep this album is quite the vibe enhancer.
Thank you.
I need this in a lossless format. Please.
Omg so glad another is finally on here give us the reeestt
Masterpiece
Hummm... I like it !

it's back up again i think. source: listened to it yesterday
Хоч я і мешкаю на іншому боці планети, але мені ця музика -- близька і приємна.

Why some videos are blocked in my country?
