Honestly, can't believe this track is real

There’s something that makes me tear up hearing this doing knowing that Yokota has passed. Like I’ve only heard a few of his tracks, but knowing he died and left this bittersweet, ethereal piece of work as his legacy is such a legendary thing, idk how to explain it.

If I were to leave a piece of art this stunningly beautiful when I die, I wouldn't need an epitaph.

AHHHHHHH! I never realized that he was sampling from classical music! I have listened to this single track on repeat for HOURS and I FINALLY know why it sounds so familiar! Thanks!

Gracias Giselle por mostrarme a Susumu, está rola se volvió de las que más me gusta solo por simple hecho de que me hace pensar bastante en ti y nuestros días de gloria, dopados en la cama mirándonos y después mirando el techo, hablando de todo y a la vez de nada, te amo.

I'm curious why streaming services have reuploaded this song with with what sounds like synths instead of strings for the Clair de Lune part. This version is best.

When I'm trying to do some deep thinking, I like to loop this track.
