Someone asked what guitar he's playing: it's a Little Martin. Also, someone asked about the chords. The song is in the key of A, but played in the C position with the capo on the 9th fret. Intro and verse is Cadd9-Cadd9/F. Then bridge is G-Em7-Fmaj7. Short pause is Em7-G-F. Then the last parts are C-Fmaj7-Am-G, closing with just C-Fmaj7 several times.
Man I love Shugo Tokumaru this whole album rules. Exit is very good too. Very melodic and catchy. I find myself singing his songs all day even though my japanese is rough. I really liked this video. Thanks for this..now only if i could meet him in person.
oh my god. this guy. he is amazing. I want to look peaceful while strolling through the suburbs singing and playing the guitar!! the band just following him around silently in the beginning is cute :D
I've translated it: In the water’s surface where I jumped in the sky and the sea fold together. Flying through the water right under the folding sky. From the middle of the sea I can see the sky’s edge in the surface of the water. Flying through the folds of the water, floating in the sea, I am awakened. The front of a boat that was floating sinks. Now I can see it, I bird flying. Might not be 100% accurate but I think it's about right. I can post the Japanese too in another comment...
Purely amazing. I know a small fraction of Japanese but I know enough to understand he is singing about nature in some way. I absolutely love bands like this, and I think i just found one of my new favorites.
I've been obsessed with this performance of Shugo's since it was released! A question for Black XS Live Sound: was the bulk of this filmed digitally or on film? It has such a great film-grain look.
I'm not sure how accurate this is, I had a friend write down the lyrics, she translated a few as well. Something like: "Jumped into the surface of the water, from the intersection. In the water flew. Fold and bend, under the sky. In the sea, on the surface of the water, what I can see, the end of the sky. In the water, flew. Fold and bend, float on the sea. I am awakened"
I really enjoy la Blogotheque. Good to see Japan getting involved. It's a shame they're not on skateboards. I could really dig that. If not how about roller-skates?
What it'd be to float/up or to stream forth/from the dusky grey/threshold of the sky. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sky to/keep it afloat. The sight made me ponder. The dorey's tip/bobbed above/Though the rest/Had sunk out of view. I peer round/but the bird/I saw had/now flown away, too.
I plunged into the/water's surface in/the crease where the sea and sky bend, twinned, like reflected spaces. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sky to/the place below. I am in the sea./From the water's face,/I can witness the/threshold of the sky. Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sea to/keep it afloat. The sight made me wake up.
@TetraChromaticArt I think he is the best musicians out there today. I love every one of his albums, and ya i totally agree even though its in Japanese it feels so familiar. He has such a unique sound that is just beautiful.
Try Martin LXME.. Its a great guitar.. If you're looking for a small/travel sized gutar. Check that one out or Taylor GS Mini.. Those 2 guitars feel and play great. But don't get Baby Taylor..
Who was here 10 years ago... and now you are here again enjoying this music?
Mattydigs checkin in ;)
yes! :) @@charlespancamo9771
Me dawg
And ive seen him live 9 times
Still brings tears to my eyes, all these years later
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: This is the best version of this song.
I always come back to this.
Yo también! :)
Same, igual yo. Regreso después de tres años de no escucharla.
Cada año, desde hace tanto que no puedo recordar.
水の中から水面に見えるのは空の果て。。
"From inside the water, I look up towards the surface,
There I can see, the limits of the sky."

What an incredible artist. Saw more of his live performances, it's truly astonishing!
I've translated it:
In the water’s surface where I jumped in the sky and the sea fold together.
Flying through the water right under the folding sky.
From the middle of the sea I can see the sky’s edge in the surface of the water.
Flying through the folds of the water, floating in the sea, I am awakened.
The front of a boat that was floating sinks.
Now I can see it, I bird flying.
Might not be 100% accurate but I think it's about right. I can post the Japanese too in another comment...
I feel like I can be friend with those guys
Just beautiful, every thing he touches and plays is magical and out of this world
:)
I will surely come back to this wonderful song 06/20/22
2020 and still wonderfull
There is nothing that soothes me more than this.
This song makes me feel so tranquil (:
shugo's music always resonates with me even though I have not the slightest clue of what he's saying. he's so intriguing.
I'm happy there is still hope for the music world.
massa nobu good music's always gonna be around. you just have to look at the right places :)
Was just listening to Port Entropy for the first time and thought, man, his music would be perfect for a take away show
Purely amazing. I know a small fraction of Japanese but I know enough to understand he is singing about nature in some way. I absolutely love bands like this, and I think i just found one of my new favorites.

Excellent cinematography! What camera was used in shooting this video?
i was at his concert yesterday, it was so cool!
everything was so calm. and beautiful. oh shugo..
i'm so glad i clicked on this
The album recording is amazing but it misses the magic captured in this one
Love the tone of his guitar. Damn.
It's amazing. It makes me almost crying. And I don't know what this is about. It's just beautiful . A saw a colour of voice. And it is rainbow.
This warms my heart
Haha, the Japanese guy at the end, "I love camera."
This is beatiful!! Thanks to Shugo and A Black XS Live Sound!! AWESOME JOB guys!
that's why i love japan so much and want to be there right now !
so beautiful
I'm not sure how accurate this is, I had a friend write down the lyrics, she translated a few as well.

He's amazing.
Good stuff. I have the album on the way from Japan. (can't wait >_
I love A Take Away Show's cinematography almost as much as their music.
This is incredibly good.
dang this is a really pretty song.
Beautiful
Wow, what a voice! Great guitar melodies as well.
Him and this song are so bloody endearing!
I wish I knew what he was saying though!! I'm sure it was beautiful though lol
Damn dude, thats like.....poetry
I really enjoy la Blogotheque. Good to see Japan getting involved. It's a shame they're not on skateboards. I could really dig that. If not how about roller-skates?
this is essential
It makes me sad for the world that anyone would dislike this.
Loving the song and the video. Great job!
>me and the boys headed to the music store to take advantage of the band discount
@WHareRabbit Do you know where I can find translations for the lyrics to the rest of the songs on Port Entropy?
@WHareRabbit Thank you so much for the translation!
god damn thank you /mu/ for giving me this gift
it makes me so happy and sad at the same time... =()
Does anyone knows the lyrics of the song? I love it but I don't have any idea what is about
What it'd be to float/up or to stream forth/from the dusky grey/threshold of the sky.
Within the water, I flew/past the fold that bends the sky to/keep it afloat. The sight made me ponder.

oh i cant believe it's a live performance.looks like a MV.
I miss Japan soooooo much...!
Oh man I love Shimokitazawa station.
shimokitazawa is the coolest neighborhood, its a shame they closed that covered market hes walking around in
Does anyone know what kind of guitar he's playing in this video?
Could you include an mp3 file so that I may download this and listen to it wherever I am? I would even pay for it.
I AGREE!!!
what is the name of the song that they are playing?
what kind of jacket/coat is that? Please anyone let me know
Magical Magic !
magical
@OneBigMyoma I do not know of one. I looked around to try and see if someone had done a better translation than mine, but didn't stumble on anything.
Is the guy with the Ukulele using a slide?
Muito bom. Saudações do Brasil!
with what was this shot?
@TetraChromaticArt I think he is the best musicians out there today. I love every one of his albums, and ya i totally agree even though its in Japanese it feels so familiar. He has such a unique sound that is just beautiful.
Love
New albums September 5th, fuck yeah.

black x's the fragrance by paco robanne? weird sponsor for something like this
es tan sanador oirlo, todo el video, desde los sonidos de la calle hasta el final...todo
Shugo is amazing I wish he would play in the United States...
What's wrong with the Baby Taylor? Every review I've read says great things about it and has high ratings.
could someone contribute/post the entire lyrics?
6/14/2022
I'm going to see him play live!! I've dreamt of seeing him live for two years! :D I'm so exited!!
I adore his music. ^^
I like this version better than the album one :)

When will it be my turn to live in Japan at a permanent magic hour? :(
I just saw a Tenniscoats video that is VERY similar to this!
Great! :D
Que bonito!
that's how I always thought of him! Do you think he's secretly in Fuck on the Beach?
manda um salve pra brasil, Pernambuco vt
Salve! Pernambuco também ^^ ♡

Japanese Jason Mraz. But I guess Shugo has more unique colors. I love him.
うううふー。下北沢だいすきだ。
Try Martin LXME.. Its a great guitar.. If you're looking for a small/travel sized gutar.
Check that one out or Taylor GS Mini..
Those 2 guitars feel and play great.
