In the corner of a busy office at the NHK Broadcasting Center in Shibuya, Tokyo, a staffer rearranged books, vinyl records and tchotchkes on a bright red shelving unit. The production crew double-checked equipment settings and made small adjustments to the lighting. Another worker added a few more posters to the tall white file cabinets. Cameras were set and microphones were ready because Fujii Kaze and his band had just rehearsed the night before. Everyone in the room - including a few of us from NPR that were there to help - was eager and excited because the very first performance for Tiny Desk Concerts JAPAN was about to start.
Popular around the world, the talented Fujii Kaze is a Japanese singer and pianist known for his sultry R&B grooves and catchy songwriting. His adventurous spirit was strong as he settled into the Tiny Desk way - a concert that's intimate, mostly acoustic and recorded without reverb, effects, in-ear monitors or wedges. During the rehearsal, the band quickly acclimated to the environment and adjusted instrument volumes to hear each other better. The end result was a beautiful 30 minute set, captured without pause and with no stops, restarts or retakes.
This video is part of the second international version of Tiny Desk, a joint venture between NPR and The Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) - the sole public media organization in Japan that is operated with the purpose of providing the latest news, education and culture both domestically and internationally. This new series will spotlight emerging and established Japanese artists with the same engaged performances, look and feel of the original Tiny Desk Concerts series.

I was so into it I forgot I was listening to Japanese 😂
that's right‼️
世界中の皆さんに 通じるKazeさん語❤
しかも正確に
伝わっている事が
海外の方のコメント から解る🎉🎉🎉
すごい❤
Fuji Kaze is definitely a musical genius. He breathes music.
truly incredible, love u
風さん 幸福ですね
本当に大喜びですね
JVKE愛❤が素敵すぎます😭
Wow!!!
jvke!!!!!!!!
😮🎉🎉🎉
the collaboration between you and Kaze was also truly incredible 🦋
what...just happened. this is the BEST TDC CONCERT EVER
Guys it's never too late to start listening to Fujii Kaze (typing error before)
Fujii please
you mean xqc?
@@Gencirnfb LOL It's only the hair but yeah he kinda does give me Japanese XQC vibes
@@luisalejandrodelacruzgonza3806 sorry for the mistake😂🙏🏻
wow best tiny desk concert ever
Backvocals are amazing, too!!!! Praise them!!!
They're both solo artists!
Can't believe Yo-Sea is just a back-up singer here. He's pretty dope on his own (check out "Moonlight")
The whole thing was pretty last minute and they couldn't arrange professional backup singers for Kaze who insisted on having them+band for his dream tdc perf so his manager asked young artists whom he knew have a mutual respect sorta thing going on with Kaze if they'd be willing to do this and they said yes. :)
Yo-Sea's got a new single out called Flowers. It's nice.
Nishina (the girl backup singer) has a solo performance in THE FIRST TAKE.
He needs to do a world tour 😭
I agree too!!!
We have concerts in LA and New York in May.
World tour!!!
Yes!Yes!
can't wait for him to come to Europe
I strongly petition to have this man perform at Coachella for 2025
It'd be so great right ❤🎉
YESSSSSSS!!
yeah no.... he's way too good for coachella
Sadly he almost never attend festival 😔 only in his early debut year that he did
@@sanapomu5138 exactly
コーラスも去ることながらブルース色強めのduranとの相性良すぎ。
He's drawing the notes in the air by his hands unconsciously, and playing the keyboard like it was nothing!
Kinda of genius I am totally amazed
ソロで活躍してる人を二人呼んでコーラスしてもらう贅沢っぷり、最高のバンド
This has to be one of the best tiny desks ever recorded, and I watched a LOT of them haha
Elégant, lumineux, charismatique. Très beau concert. Merci aux musiciens.
Kaze is such an incredible artist but props to the backup singers!!!🔥❤️
Fujii Kaze himself is a work of art.
what a cutie!
お互いを引き立てようとする控えめさが、表情、音、声に表れていて、愛に溢れているなと思います。皆の持ち味が融合して素晴らしいです✨
This is my daily routine!❤
omg i found paradise
Why is he singing so happily? He seems to express the joy of his soul in music with his whole body.
because he really wants to share that joy with listeners - that's what he just said on his Instagram. he is such a person.
He is just that kind of person.... he loves his music more than anyone else
@@user-ep3qo4ku3y
You should check out his RUclips channel. You can see him playing piano and singing with much joy and free since way before his debut when he was posting from his own childhood home
kaze always being kaze
dude's vibe is like sakura flowers blowing in the wind on a nice sunny April skies.
I love your comment. Beautiful like his song
So true! Was that pun intended?? You do know that his first name Kaze means wind, right?
So easy to visualize. Beautifully described.
it's crazy you say this because his name (kaze) literally means wind
I'm Japanese,Your comment is great!!!!!!!💖✨
BEST PART OF THIS CONCERT 00:00 - 29:23
👍👍👍
I lived with paralysing PTSD. Basically I was borderline alive for a decade. Then one day last year I randomly stumbled upon Kaze's Love All Serve All concert on Netflix. Long story short, by listening to his amazing songs every day, Kaze's message of joy, self-love and acceptance germinated in my soul. Within a few short weeks no more PTSD. No more nightmares. No more depressive thoughts. His music hit me like a miracle freight train. btw, I keep this story on the low because, fact, nobody would believe it if I told them.
I hope that many beautiful flowers will bloom in your garden from now on. I would be happy if Japanese music can help in that regard, even if only a little.
I believe your story. You're not the only one who says depression was cured after listening to his music.
I totally believe you! His music was invaluable in helping me get through a really rough period last year. I wish you all the love ❤
same as me
This comment should be pinned 🥹
His voice is so beautiful-it's actually taught me more about wavelengths and frequencies than my physics teacher ever did.
What’s the physical characteristics of Kaze’s voice wavelengths and frequencies based on your observations ?
His music is tuned to 432hz instead of the standard 440hz, which gives his songs a unique warmth and beauty.
@@myrose0123 ok my time to shine, firstly let’s talk about wavelengths. Sound, including Fujii Kaze’s marvellous voice travels in the form of waves through the air, these waves have different lengths corespondent to different pitches, when Fujii Kaze sings, his voice generates a medley of waves with varying lengths, producing a rich spectrum of tones that resonate both with our ears and souls.
For example, in Matsuri, the chorus goes from a high pitch with a bright and energetic tone that perfectly reflects the celebratory theme of the song while also delving into the relaxed and conversational tone during the verses, adding a warm, gentle and intimate timbre.
When the electric guitar part comes, his vocals become climactic and again change the tone.
Humans making sound itself is complex interplay of airflow, vocal cord vibrations, and resonance within the vocal tract. Fujii Kaze's ability to control these factors with precision allows him to effortlessly transition between high and low pitches, creating the masterpiece we just watched.
Fujii Kaze's voice exhibits a distinctive timbre, or tone quality, that is warm and resonant . Timbre is influenced by the shape of the vocal tract and the unique characteristics of the vocal cords, and Fujii Kaze's timbre evokes a sense of intimacy and emotional depth in his music. Specially seen in “Garden” according to me, the lyrics blended with the tone of his voice almost too perfectly.
Anyway he’s a gem, love him.
(I have a literature paper tomorrow, I will bid you guys adieu now, thank you)
@@jeneticallyfkdありがとうございます Fujii Kazeを愛することが嬉しく彼を愛する人全てに感謝します
@@jeneticallyfkd Thank u for sharing your analysis and exposition. Unfortunately, I preferred the scientific proof of view to the general overview(incl Hz , db, etc) I had already known. Anyway, thank you for your time and comment. It was fun. I love science and liberal arts. I hope some scientists will study/research about Kaze’s music based on the physics, psychophysics, quantum physics, astronomy, mathematics, etc in the future. We all recognize Fujii Kaze is the talented amazing musician. love Kaze. 🫶
he makes me want to learn Japanese just to understand his lyrics as he is singing
He writes English lyrics by himself, and very beautiful too.
or you can turn on the subtitle
Fujii Kaze's passion and enjoyment in performance is so infectious. Listening to his music brings pure joy.
あなたのギターテクが超絶かっこいいのにちょいちょいリアクション芸人みたくなっているニキ愛してます
Feeling I could live another day because of this video
Lovely. And this is why kaze does what he does :)
風君が目立つだけでなくメンバー全員がそれぞれ良すぎて目が離せない！
バンドの一体感が良すぎて気持ちいい！！
全体からポジティブのパワーが発散されていて、こんな凄いライブ見たことありません。
魔法が掛けられているようです。
He is the most down to earth musician that I ever seen. I'm sure he will even more successful. What an loving amazing man he is:)
This KIRARI is the most beautiful version of ❤KAZE❤
音を楽しむ事を思い出させてくれた。感謝しかない。
風くんは､「誰かがちょっといい気分で人生を送れたりする為に､音楽🎵をやっとるようなもんなんで‥」と言う人です。
NHKの本放送を観て感動して、「満ちていく」だけはアップされていて、何度も観ていて。そして
テーラースイフトでも観てみようと検索したら、なんと全編アップしてるの発見！それからほぼ毎日観ている60になった男子です。
岡山の友人から風さんの事教えてもらい、早二年、ほぼ全動画好きなのですが、80年代の洋楽カバーも大好きで。センス良いなぁって。このtiny desk concertもとてもポップでジャージーなアレンジ。
以前あったアンプラグドライブみたくで心良い。
益々好きになりました。
USA tourがどれだけ盛り上がるかとても楽しみです。てゆうか大評価されるのは間違いないですが。
良い音楽は確実に心のビタミン、
聴くだけでハッピーになれる。
みんなさん、風さんを聴いて、毎日ハッピーに過ごして参りましょう！
ハッピーに。
毎日のように､聴いています♪
過去のRUclips動画に､風くんのピアノ🎹演奏や､昭和歌謡や、洋楽カバーの弾き語りが､とても魅了されますよね。
本当にハッピーになり癒されます！
This dude is so soft, feeling like a free blowing petal
Fujii Kaze’s song is timeless.
His performance comes out naturally. Like he didn't try to impress the audience. He's just having fun with his friends. And then it is unexpectedly amazing!
Fuji Kaze is such an amazing artist, not only is his song Shinunoga E-Wa good but he has so many other good songs from his other album like Love All Serve All and they have such a nice tone, message, and just sound great it's impossible to not love his music. I started really listening to his music in the beginning of April 2024 and I've fallen in love with everything he has to offer.
🍃デビューアルバム🍃HELP EVER HURT NEVR…も、とっても素晴らしいです‥お勧めします
@@kiko0614 Yes! My favorites are SAYONARA Baby and 罪の香り (Tsumi no Kaori)
I LOVE this energy!! I really feel happy when I hear him sing.
I listen to this so much that I can almost replicate the speeches inbetween the songs haha
One of the most transcedent music experiences I've had in a while
Same 😦
Ｉ think so,too!
Good music is good music 🎶
Exactly! 🤩
I feel the same!❤
hes just a visionary
I have never heard of these people before and I didn't have a clue why YT kept pushing this video on my recommended for weeks. Bro... I've finally gave it a shot and now I know, this is heavenly! Props to the singer and the band, they're all amazing
Oh. I know the last song, that explains a lot 😅
@@beatrizandera Good job YT kept pushing you. Glad you liked it!
IT'S FUJII KAZE THE GUY
Same! Been putting it on replay for week now. 🥰
omg me too, I blame myself for not clicking on him before althou it has popped up in the feed sometimes. I gave this listen a try and the exact type of the music I like,and the lyrics are so lovely. becoming a fan^^
Hope this version have digital release
Never heard of this artist before- but wow! Lovely energy to this music
Perfect blend of Jazz, Funk and City Pop.
Edit: May I just add, those RNB/Slow Jams beats is a reminiscent of mid 2000's vibe. Thanks for the likes guys!
Your description is perfect. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great way to put it 🔥
Exactly!
Basically a blend of African American music
@@Genkaku well you are correct sir or ma'am since Jazz, Funk and RNB is pretty much brought to us by our African American brothers and sisters. That blends well with City Pop which technically originated in Japan isn't it?
First time in my life I listen Fujii Kaze, it feels like a cup of coffee on a cloudy day. It warms my heart.
nice to meet you. I saw the comment in translation. His music definitely has a humid feel to it. Even though the song has a fun and upbeat feel, it doesn't feel like something out of place in the middle of summer. I felt the same way. He was born in the rainy season and grew up in a family that ran a coffee shop. Maybe that's the influence.
Wow I'm Japanese. I'm very happy to hear your words. Exactly! That's it. his music changed my life!
♡♡♡ it gets warmer when you read the lyrics ♡♡♡
that's literally the weather right now right here while i listening to this.
Enjoy your journey!
True artist
I know this is good for my soul.
I can’t stop coming back to this every day
Me too 😭
I just discovered him yesterday when this was recommended to me and here I am again rewatching him. He is amazingly talented and radiates so much love and happiness. Best luck to him!
We love messages like this because everyone knows how fortunate you are. Please listen to his other songs and introduce Fujii Kaze to others. Let's expand the happy and peaceful world his music brings.
Why do I want to listen to it every day and I cut onions?
こんなストレスのない動画この世にないでしょ（めっちゃ褒めてる）
In his music there are no boundaries of country, gender or race, just love.
I think so!
ほんとにそう🥰
Exactly💚
No hate, just confused. What does this mean to you?
@@AutBelli What are you confused about so we can educate you?
This guy is so incredible, he has such a great balance between pop, R&B and Jazz, everything is sophisticated enough while still very pleasant to listen too, such talent.
In love with this man and his voice!!! I absolutely loved this tiny desk
This might be one of my favorite tiny desk concerts of all time. Just wow.
Mine too! He's amazing
unoriginal and regurgitated
❤Fujii kaze said❤”Please never buy ridiculously expensive tickets. Please save your precious money or use it for other useful things. PEACE🙏🙏🙏“
Lets respect his feelings!!
I don't know how many times I've looked at this since the first time! A truly talented young man who makes me feel like a citizen of Earth. Living proof that good music transcends all geographic, cultural and racial barriers.
that's right❤
He always talk to people
‘We are sisters,
brothers of this universe.’ So I am very elderly sister.❤
Yeh...you're kind of a racist, bro. They're great because they care about what they're doing. America isn't the only place good art exists which is the basis of your pronouncement on cultural barriers.
i fckng love japan cause literally every musician is a jazz nerd
He is truly an artist
One of the best tiny desk
sure is !
On god
Fujii's live singing has the same impact as seeing a real Picasso painting.
absolute skilled musician.
風ちんは素晴らしいのは勿論だけど、７人の醸し出すグルーブの心地良さがたまらない。ヤッフル氏？のアレンジも素晴らしい。何回でも見られる。
the guy on the piano to the left is really feelin it I love it
He is Yaffle, a very talented music producer.
He is responsible for Kaze’s two albums.❤
I went to his SEOUL concert last year. I always remember his saying “promise me, be always happy💗”
I’m very glad to watch his enjoying tiny concert. He looks very very happy too.
Love you kaze 🌬️
You are so lucky. I’m jealous! Enjoy his music and be happy.
@@sadiecantabile happy together with his music💗💗
후지이 카제씨 목소리 너무 좋아요 🫨
細胞レベルで喜びを感じる、風さんの音楽って。
God sent Kaze to bring joy and love to the world
EVERY BREATH HE TAKES SOUNDS LIKE MUSIC
Guitar player is hotter than the sun
so charming isnt he, by all means
His music is food for the soul.
i love this guy, really his voice is beautiful
I need these arrangements of the tracks on Spotify 😭 it's sooooo good
I am Japanese and first time seeing Kaze

ここには愛が満ち溢れている。だから何回でも訪れたくなる。
なるほどそういうことか！だから何回でも求めるんだね
Never heard of Fujii Kaze until NPR posted this. This is awesome!!!!!! Much love from Philadelphia
歌詞が素晴らしいので、ぜひ彼のPVを見てください。全て英語の字幕が付いています。
J'adore Fuji Kaze ! Merci à lui pour ce miniconcert, c'est une incroyable performance. Fuji Kaze la France t'attend !
Hace mucho que no escuchaba un buen artista 😍
This is a no.1 masterpiece in the world 😭🤍
Just want to open this video for the background music, but I ended up watched and enjoyed a whole 29 minutes live performance. He sings with his voice, body, and soul. I immediately became a fan. = )
I was gonna do the same thing! I wanted background music for reading manga and I got distracted by this amazing guy 😍😍 I’m ready to stannnn
Fuji Kaze is truly a musical icon
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FUJII KAZE!!
I clicked so so fast. Thank you NPR for taking us to Japan. Fujii Kaze fans gather here let’s form a BIG family ✅✅✅😉
BIG family！ 嬉しいコメントありがとうございます！ 日本より愛をこめて🇯🇵🌏🎉
Yeahhh, never clicked to any video this fast ❤🎉
My first time hearing. I am now a fan!
Come on family!!!!!!
So fast too 😉
😢😢😢 i just know him today, SO GOOD!!!!!!
The luckiest day 🎉
I prefer this than the studio, sounds more soulful.
the best japanese musician
The talent of everyone in this video is immense. International Fujii Kaze fans have been very blessed and fed well today~
He is honestly amazing, i didn't know how quirky and dramatic he was before, love his song, personality, just everything!
He’s a perfect mix of funny, talented, kind, energetic and handsome.
Apart from Fujii Kaze being so perfect, nobody’s gonna talk about how good the musicians and backing vocals are? Nishina’s vocal really stands out a lot.
im OBSESSED! i just discovered him through tiny desk. best day ever
Welcome to a whole discography that I know you’ll love 🫶🏻
This guy got soul.
I’m so glad I discovered this video.. Wow
15:04 on is just pure perfection - beautiful guitar, fuji kaze casually playing one of the best solos on the keys without looking, synth keys' smoothness in the background, beautiful drum rhythms
