Director Reacts – Fujii Kaze – ‘Michi Teyu Ku’ MV
Overflowing if this is a first time for you hold on to your butts fui Kaz Japanese artist he’s phenomenal his art is so good so clean oh things change and we can do nothing about it just letting go feeling lighter and becoming failed overflowing oh that’s him [Music] wow [Music]
[Music] fore [Music] for I can’t tell [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] youe [Music] you do you hear how pure his voice is like there’s there’s nothing hid in that voice there’s nothing oh it’s it’s so good oh Che you oh [Music] No see now what I want you to do because this is the first time for some of you one thing I’ve said about Kaz is that he does an incredible job with his art of articulating and demonstrating what it means to be a human the whole Human Condition the whole
Human Experience he tries to accentuate some form of that in his videos see if you can figure out what you think he’s trying to express here Beyond just the lyrics [Music] you you [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] oh Ah I got to say she [Music] You [Music] oh me [Music] you [Music] wowy hey hey heyy hey ooo [Music] wow oh I got some questions huh I’m I’m slightly confused just just a hair let me see if I can maybe you can help me so we’ve got we’ve got Fuji
Here that’s him okay such a good job such a good job with the makeup we’ve got him reflecting with the journal we’ve got group therapy here but the qu okay so the group therapy is for something Wait so there’s a couple theories we know that at later in the video I feel like it’s pretty clear that his mom is is shown somewhere okay um because we get the shot of him running and or it’s it’s the
Kid running with Mom and then it turns into him so that kind of tells me okay the boy is him that’s his mom but there’s shots like this and also on the train where he looks through the door and
He sees somebody and it makes me feel like it’s Maybe One That Got Away right um because we also see this part where he’s in the restaurant he’s playing piano and we see this I took this shot
As well at first I thought it was real and she was kind of you know falling in love with him digging his chili whatever um but I don’t the one thing that pulled me back o this this scene with the
Water is really powerful because we not only get this transition that happens here watch [Music] this when we get this shot later of her in the water and then the shot very specifically showing us the hands that don’t quite touch that’s a wicked
Powerful shot oh because you notice they show this a couple times they never quite meet so if we if we ex if we say that the group therapy is maybe about loss or G brief this whole song is about losing his
Mom he can never quite reach her but he finds peace in the end [Music] right me you see I can’t can’t even say in the end because he’s younger when he’s at the church and then he
Finds some level of peace and he goes out but it still seems to be a real big part of him as he [Music] ages hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey [Music] do you think a daughter or nurse yeah why not that’s actually what I was thinking grief isn’t linear years so maybe it’s showing that it’s forever a part of you yeah okay he dies so now they’re together again okay that’s pretty good flashbacks
Memories of his mom bring him peace okay yeah caregiver is kind of what I was thinking wow you never constant you never just constantly get better there are times that it’s harder than others yeah absolutely he is cyclical yeah wow but you see what I
Mean though there’s there’s a lot of things that are up to interpretation there’s little pieces that you know we we might not understand or we can agree to disagree that this means this what and I don’t think that really matters per se that’s just what I like doing but I cannot
Deny that Kaz is such a good Storyteller when it comes to the the landmarks of what it means to be a person the struggles that we Face the highlights the low points the E and flow of Life
He’s so good he’s another one that I I just want to sit down and have tea with I mean he can have tea and I’ll have you know a monster or something but I think he would be a really
Really good deep philosophical conversation you know like I don’t even know if if I if I ever had the the chance to to talk to him I don’t even know if I would necessarily want
To focus on like his music or his art I mean some of his art but I would I’d kind of want to talk to him from an introspective standpoint I want to I want to hear how he approaches life
And how he views things you know if there were if there were moments in his life that he feels were cornerstones that then changed the trajectory I I would love that yeah yeah very intellectual guy very introspective a deep philosophical dude I mean and if if this
Is your first time experiencing his music you need to watch the music video Hannah I don’t know if it’s pronounced Hannah or Hana but that one is oh that is be it’s so beautiful oh we’ll definitely be discussing his hair I’ll be like what do you
Put in it do you talk to it like a plant can I have it and just Scotch tape it to my head Hana thank you miso you’re you’re one of the sweet ones around here I hope you all enjoyed that for

Good Morning! 🦌💜😊
😢😢😢😢😢😢❤
My sense is when he passed away his mother came to cover him with a blanket in order to confort him just the way she used to do when he was a litle boy.

Finally 🎉
Roscoe, Fuji Kaze is coming to New York in May, a solo tour with only his piano. Go and see him, maybe you get a chance to ask about life and his hair. buy front row ticket so you can ask him when he's talking to the audience.
My take:
It's all his mother, from start to finish, but the story is backwards because half of it are flashbacks.
1. We are shown him writing down on a notebook: "This is the story of my beloved mother"
2. He sees an older aged "phantom" of his mom still watching over him even when he is already an old man. When the camera returns to the same place she was seated, it's empty.
3. Both younger versions of him that we see are his memories, his whole life flashing back as he's nearing his end.
4. His adult self shows that he was "lost" in life. During his lowest point (he was fired, drunk, got in a fight etc.), he sees a vision of his mom riding the same train, but this, I think is a memory he has from he was a child. This is why he didn't immediately chase after her, but rather, sat down by the door. He knows she's gone.
5. He decides to get off the train and I think he was "tracing back the memories of her mom", leading him to that Piano store that she brought him to as a child.
6. Transition scene of him running from child to adult, shows he still misses his mother after all that time.
7. He reflects, lets go of the loss of his mother (visualized as his hand as a child, pulling back away from her mother's and her smiling) at the church and visits her grave, deciding to immortalize her memory by becoming a professional pianist until the end of his life, while giving her grave a smile as if to say "I'm okay now, thanks mom."
8. Finally, he passes away, a woman who is also most likely also his mom, putting a blanket over him as if to say "you can rest now".
Now as for that "support group therapy", I agree, idk what he was doing it for if he already let go as a young adult.
He's such an open storyteller, doesn't try to hide reality behind pretty words or make light of ugly topics, his art is raw, and I think it connects with people because it's honest and unfiltered!
💜
The protagonist must have failed at work and became addicted to alcohol. But as he prays to God, he decides to get back on his feet. He joined an AA meeting, regained his will to live, and started playing the piano he once loved in a bar.
I felt this was a requiem for the Great Earthquake and Tsunami.
Even if he is separated from his beloved mother, one day his wounds will heal. And that it is a cheering song for all those who suffer in life.
The new six boy group, Psy P Nation's first boy group, will comeback with the song "FUEGO" 20 maret on channel the new six thank you
❤❤❤❤😍
Thanks Roscoe! Everything you said was so true, his voice is so pure & while he is phenomenal in being pianist,arranger/composer, singer, lyricist etc…many like me are attracted by his personalities & the messages he tell in his stories, they are so powerful and so authentic. Ive been listening to his music everyday since I knew about Fujii Kaze 3 months ago, I couldnt appreciate other musician like Taylor Swift.
I'm glad that this MV is released before the movie so it can be appreciated as standalonr story & not just a accompanying movie theme.
There is a website by someone called shinonomesango that explains the lyrics of kaze fujii's “michiteyuku''. It's a Google translation, but that's the content.
The music video is a story of a mother and son.
A music video directed by Tomokazu Yamada was also released at the same time.
The theme song that accompanied the love story in which love was absent was transformed into a love story from a son looking back on his life with a mother whose presence was love itself.
Her mother was always there for her, both during the warm memories of her childhood and when life didn't go as planned. With love.
As I hung my head down on the train heading home, he quietly appeared in the same chair where I was chatting with my girlfriend's friends, right in front of her playing the piano.
Eventually, her mother's lifespan exceeded that of hers, and when it was time for her to return to the sky, it was her mother who came to pick her up.
There are some impressive scenes. It is a scene in which a small hand in a red sleeve and her mother's hand gently separate from each other in the sea.
I let go of my mother's hand, which I want to hold forever, and my son's hand, which I never want to let go of.
Then, her body, which had been submerged in the sea, slowly rose up.
Didn't the mother who let go of her hand then give her love to her son?
Filled with her love, her son probably began to live his own life without fear.
That's how my mother continued to give her love to her son through thick and thin.
Eventually, the son grows up and realizes her love, and when he follows his mother to a church, he is liberated and smiles. He looks very happy.
As time passes, he grows older and heads for a gallery where his mother's paintings are displayed in his wheelchair. I can see that it is connected to the opening scene, and my heart tightens with the pain and the feeling of the end.
When he realizes his mother's love in church, he smiles, and in the gallery, in front of a painting of his mother, he bursts into tears.
Even though the place and time are different, and the emotions she feels are different, you can see that her love for her mother is welling up from deep inside.
Tears and smiles are made of the same love.
The pen fell from her hand and her son's soul left his body.
At that moment, it was unmistakably the mother who gently placed a shawl over her son's back.
It was the same shawl that she wore around her shoulders when she was playing the piano next to her son and when she let go of her son's hand in the sea.
An exuding view of life and death and how to perceive love
Kaze-san's views on life and death are evident in the lyrics. It seems to be teaching us that both life and death are events wrapped in love.
What begins will eventually come to an end.
It is inevitable that things will change.
But when I let go of something I held onto so tightly that I didn't want to let go, I found myself feeling lighter and freer.
It's like he's patting me on the back and telling me that death is like that, so it's okay.
彼は本当に素晴らしい人です♥️ぜひ会ってください！機会があることを願っています🥰♥️私もまた会いたい🥰♥️
I hope you to talk with Fujii Kaze about his spiritual and philosophical approach because I'm so curious about the stories you guys would talk about.
I wish I would also like to talk with him but unfortunately there are no chance to do that even though I'm living in Japan…😅
謎が、増える。
👏👏👏👏👏💕
Still waiting for Roscoe to react to Seishun Sick from him 😂
Please react to Be:First "Gifted" Orchestra version.❤
The song itself was initially written with the ending of a romantic relationship in mind (because that's what the movie this song was written for is about I think–if you're interested in checking out the trailer it's called April, Come She Will) but the words he used expanded the song in a way where it could be perceived as the ending to a relationship of any kind.
The MV itself seems to be about the protagonist and his attachment to a mother that he'd lost, probably due to old age since she appeared elderly in some parts of the MV (not to be mistaken to represent Kaze's very own who is still very much alive and well), and staying true to both himself and her memory by quitting the job he hates and following his dream of becoming a pianist.
I perceive the ending as him dying of old age himself and the lady who came forward to put a blanket around his shoulders (same one we got glimpses of in one of the earlier subway scenes) his mother telling him that he did good and that he can rest now.
I hope you get a chance to make his acquaintance. And he yours. You two seem like you'd make for very good conversation partners for one another. 🙂 And you can be jealous of his hair while he envies you for your beard (seems a goatee is the best he can manage—he can't grow a full one).
Speaking of which, he messes with his hair a lot. It's like this crazy Einstein blond now. I don't think he personally takes care of it. Guy doesn't even use shaving cream when he shaves, he just arms himself with a pair of scissors and a razor and rawdogs it. But no harm asking, I guess. XD
I cried like a baby watching this video… The way the video was made, the lyrics, his voice!!!! hes always such a story teller and the emotion he puts into his songs and the way he commits visually to it too
Thank you for reviewing this song!!!!!!! I cried for days listening to 満ちてゆく😭
This song is both heartbreaking and liberating at the same time.
Love Kaze ❤❤
満ちてゆくhas become my favourite song!
Kaze says this is the first time for him to write a love song… So maybe not his mom, but is his lover and they never be together
