I used to listen to this music every morning while getting ready for work. At that time, I was working as a teacher in a very small town. After waking up, I would try to get ready within 30 minutes to catch the shuttle service, synchronizing every step of my preparation with the rhythm of this music. Each morning, this music helped me start the day with energy. Thank you, Kashiwa. Greetings from Turkey.
@@KASHIWA_Daisuke And you have continued to compose fantastic music ever since then, making several of my favorite albums of all time. I feel lucky that I can be here to hear it.
My father told me its story: A long time ago in a field there lived a scorpion that ate other bugs by using its tale to catch them. Then one day he found himself cornered by a weasel. Fearing for his life, he ran but could not escape it. Suddenly, he fell into a well and, unable to climb out, began to drown. He started to pray then, saying: ”‘Oh, God. How many lives have I stolen to survive? Yet when it came my turn to be eaten by the weasel, I selfishly ran away. And for what? What a waste my life has been! If only I’d let the weasel eat me, I could have helped him live another day. God, please hear my prayer. Even if my life has been meaningless, let my death be of help to others. Burn my body so that it may become a beacon, to light the way for others as they search for true happiness.’ “The scorpion’s prayer was answered, and his body became a beautiful crimson flame that shot up into the night sky. There he burns to this day. My father was telling the truth…” - Kenji Miyazawa, "Night on the Galactic Railroad" (1927)
@@KASHIWA_Daisuke Thanks for the recommendation! I read it and you're correct--it is a beautiful story. I also purchased pm3 and am looking forward to listening to it. :)
были у тебя треки, которые ты считал очень сакральными для себя и только своими и не слышал их 10 лет, а потом случайно вспомнил и тебя с такой мощью откинуло в то давно забытое чувство, что у тебя подкосились ноги? это случилось со мной. сейчас этот трек вызвал у меня осознание сколько лет прошло, сколько я испытаний пережил, чтобы прийти из той точки с 14ти лет, к тому, кем я являюсь сейчас, это действительно огромный труд и большая работа, это что-то монументальное и весомое, это ценность моей жизни, это невозможно описать, настолько большое и много в себя включающее это чувство, мне хочется гордиться собой, что я еще жив, что я все выдержал и не сдаюсь, я редко оглядываюсь назад, но сейчас мне хочется плакать
Favorite album of all time; the more you listen to it the more you get out of it. You start to see the scenes from the books emerge and come to life. It's literature fully realized and one of the greatest adaptations in any medium. Nothing else has ever made me feel the types of emotions this man's work has, I love everyone that is coming to listen to this album and I hope that you too get as much out of this music as I have.
If only I could listen to this again for the first time. Audio storytelling at its finest. And every emotion of the human soul to boot. When I first heard this in my twenties it deeply changed me.
This was one of the reasons I got interested in japanese music and other circles like Virgin Babylon Records. But there is not much that can compare to this piece of music. It is still my favorite.
I remember the first time hearing this, I was enthralled. It was in the background on a stream I was watching at the time. Fell in love with it and have been enamored since. Thank you for this gift to humankind.
A fair few years ago I used to be the channel that put up this music track, because of my desire to share this piece of music with everyone. Of all the music I have listened to, nothing has ever managed to be as impactful as this piece has. It has carried me through my toughest times and inspired me every time I have listened. As I uploaded it to share with friends, the video itself slowly accumulated a fair few comments and reading through other people’s experiences is a treasured memory of mine. When it was eventually removed, so too were the comments and I lamented over the fact that I couldn’t share it anymore. I remember writing an email requesting that they upload it themselves, and while it might have taken a while, I’m ecstatic to see it back up under the composer’s name. It’s been over 10 years since I first heard this and I’m just as in love with it as I was when I first listened. It may well forever remain the magnum opus of my collection.
Sorry...about 10 years ago, RUclips was also a problem for musicians. and we had to remove it for various reasons. But with the creation of "Content ID", the rights are slowly being protected. I am glad to appreciate your sentiment. Thank you!
Could have written this myself. 8 years after finding it, it's still my favourite song. No other song has captured me like this one has, there's something magical about it. Stella has very special meaning to me.
Finally I can listen to it knowing that it's from the author himself. I've only listened to your music on other channels feeling bad about it because I can't buy your CD and in todays age I don't really own anything that can play a CD. Your music is constantly in the back of my head and I'm returning to it every now and then. Thank you very much for your work, not many artists get through me the same way.
one of the most absurdly talented musicians of all time, thank you for everything you've put out. your music has dazzled me since i was a young teenager
Hi Kashiwa, im a big fan of ur work, thanks for putting Program Music I on Spotify!! I saw your interview with archipel a month ago, really inspiring to hear about what drives you to make music. Just listened to sons and it is really good! I hope you will continue to make such innovative and beautiful music, you are for me one of the only artists that really makes the music more than music, it is something I feel. It changes the way how the world looks and pulls me into this universe that you explained in the interview.
@@KASHIWA_Daisuke I will for sure in the future! I forgot to say and i don't know if it interests you but last year i made a visualisation of Solar Man for a short film, here's the link if you ever want to watch it: ruclips.net/video/fcv9EjmE3zs/видео.html

I've listened to this song for many years and it always made me wonder if you also have sound->image synesthesia? (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromesthesia). I have and I can tell you that your music is very different from regular instrumental music. It not only sounds fantastic but it also creates beautiful imagery in my mind. The way the sound pops out from the darkness of silence is like watching beautiful fireworks in my mind's eye. You are an ingenious painter!
Still one of the best songs I've ever heard, incredible production and the movements are beautiful and exactly where they should be. I'm glad you decided to upload this yourself.
Your music and visuals help me relax, open my heart, help me feel deeply which helps relieve tension in my body while feeling loved by the gentle beauty of your visuals. Thank you for making my life better. I enjoyed going forward and backward.
God this song makes me cry. This is unbelievably good music, and I'm glad you've finally put it on Spotify. Thank you for sharing your work with us. I've loved your stuff for years, but always find myself coming back to Stella.
i guess it is a life sentence coping material for me. such a strong story. the mixing is something else. otherworldly. this is peak, must be lonely there.
Wow, absolutely phenomenal. Don't know what to say, coming across an official version of this song is awesome. It brought so many memories to light. I remember this song carrying me through many times, good or bad. Thank you for that.
Hi Kashiwa, I just want you to know that you're the most impactful artist in my life thus far. You are up there for me with Radiohead, Coltraine and Chopin for me.
Thank you so much for posting this, I'd love to buy the album or record! My hope is one day to see you live. I could not write without your music - thank you for the wonderful work you do.
In the german version of the Legend of Zelda - Breath of the Wild, Kass name is actually Kashiwa. I really like to believe that a fan of your's sat at Nintendo haha. Kass is the Musician traveling Hyrule if you don't know.
Interesting! In some areas of Japan, chicken is called "kashiwa". That seems to be why it is called that. I also bought "Breath of the Wild" but haven't played it yet. LOL
Hello KASHIWA, thank you for producing the finest music this century has to offer. To this day the pieces on Program Music I stand far above anything I have ever heard before. As a person for whom music is vividly synesthetic and visual, I can say that this music stands far above anything I have ever seen before as well. It is very dear to my heart. Please release remasters on vinyl! Take Care!
Thank you for all of the beautiful and creative music you have made over the years. When I first heard stella over 10 years ago it really changed my outlook on music, and it still has a huge impact on me every time I listen to it. Even though I love so many of your works, stella will always hold a special place in my heart.
Thanks a lot, love your music, do you plan to release another project anytime soon? If so, you might want to consider starting a twitter page to keep both western and Japanese fans updated?
I am preparing for my next project. I will inflate it more. I'm not very good at Twitter. I joined it before but quit after about a month. haha.. I also have a Facebook page, but I don't manage it.
