月を見ていた (Moongazing)

米津玄師 (Kenshi Yonezu)

Moonlit, the willow trees sway; I’m a pebble by the roadside Like counting sheep, my thoughts were of you, so far away

If there’s meaning to this parting, Don’t mourn for it, at the very least Onwards to the unquiet sky, filled with unwavering love

No matter what the night brings, even through continued losses We lived together, though it was but fleeting

I was gazing at the moon, searching for something When I was frightened by the storm, I’m glad that it was you who appeared before me As though everything had never happened I know, surely, this flame will never die out

Should the wind beat upon the window, Leave it ajar Just one thing; yes, but one thing Cry out in a voice beyond words

Should I be reborn, should I not remember, I know I’ll find my way back to you

I was gazing at the moon, having set it all ablaze Even if some found it pitiful, I was happy as long as you were there Even if it were far from being right, It will not be extinguished

Call my name, just once more In the gentle embrace of your soft voice With the moon my guide, the bough I held on to was you It was you...

I was gazing at the moon, searching for something When I was frightened by the storm, I’m glad that it was you who appeared before me As though everything had never happened I know, surely, this flame will never die out

[okumura-senseixxx]

Guess who's new song released last night and guess who's been listening to it EVERY SINCE.✨

THAT'S RIGHT, IT WAS KENSHI YONEZU!✨✨

(But the one who's been listening to it is me he hasn't been listening to his own song😌✨ )

Kenshi Yonezu's new song "Tsuki Wo Miteita" or "Moongazing" is the new official theme song for the latest release of the popular game "Final Fantasy", part 16.✨

It's available to listen to now up on his youtube channel.. But don't worry I've decided to post it here so you won't have to go through the trouble of looking for it on your own.😌✨✨

In the comment section the third comment has the full English translation if you wanna read that or somethin.✨✨

You're welcome I am not going to shut up about this.✨✨✨

Kenshi Yonesu - Creator of Worlds

In our house we share music. While I have been immersing myself in the bands and singers of South Korea, my son has been imbibing deeply of J-pop. When JK sang Kick Back back in February, our musical worlds collided for a moment and I discovered the amazing artist Kenshi Yonesu.

This multi-talented musician, singer, songwriter, producer and illustrator has an huge back catalogue of music which is slowly infiltrating all of my playlists. He's been releasing music since 2009. First, it was Vocaloid music under the name Hachi and then in 2012 he started to release songs under his own name.

In 2013 he released Santa Maria which he wrote after he experienced burn out following the release of his first album Diorama. This was the first time he ever appeared in a video and he uses a book of his own illustrations to tell the story of the song. It set the tone for many of his subsequent videos where he combines art with his real world performance.

He has some excellent songs including: Peace Sign from Bootleg (2017) which is the theme to My Hero Academia.

Lemon and Flamingo from Stray Sheep (2020) - in fact, the whole album Stray Sheep is excellent.

Lady (2023)

Moongazing (2023) the theme to Final Fantasy XVI.

The combination of Kenshi Yonesu's voice (layered and caressing) with the imagery that he brings to his videos creates whole new worlds. His vision is weird, wonderful and utterly glorious.

This is the photo I used for the video

Tsuki wo Miteita is Out Now

And I made the video

[grimiestofbathtubs]

Fuckit. Tumblr will appreciate this I think

I had a huge, magnificent surprise today in my youtube feed. Kenshi Yonezu's youtube uploaded a video:

He wrote the theme song for FFXIV - Moongazing.

Does the name sound familiar? How about Hachi? Vocaloid fame Hachi. You know, the dude who wrote some of my most impactful and favourite songs:

He's been so *extremely* busy since and is pretty damm successful! These are all from his youtube channel and you should give his other works a listen, they're good. Hell you might recognize a few. Especially if you've watched Chainsaw Man, amongst other thing.

I am so proud of him and deserves every second of this.

米津玄師 - 月を見ていた Kenshi Yonezu - Tsuki Wo Miteita / Moongazing

Why is it that every time this guy releases a song I end up crying? 😭 It's like he has a machine that allows him to dig into your saddest memories and he will use those experiences to create his songs 😢

[deliriumzer0]

Kenshi Yonezu's "Moongazing" video is so beautifully shot. Like I wasn't going out of my way to find pretty screenshots, it just LOOKS LIKE THIS.

Thank you Square Enix and Kenshi Yonezu, I'm in fuckin shambles

Final Fantasy XVI - State of Play 4K

THEME SONG “TSUKI WO MITEITA – MOONGAZING” TEASER VIDEO

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida announced that the game’s main theme, “Tsuki Wo Miteita – Moongazing,” was written and performed by recording artist Kenshi Yonezu.

“Words cannot express the impact Final Fantasy has had on my life,” Yonezu said in a message. “I never thought or imagined that I would ever receive an opportunity like this. I wrote this song especially for this game. Thank you.”

Yoshida added, “When I found out that we’d be able to work with Yonezu-san, I was not only surprised, but overjoyed. I’m a big fan of Yonezu’s work, and I know that he has a passion for creating music that resonates across the generations, so I was sure that he’d be able to capture the world, the story, and the themes of Final Fantasy XVI. He’s not only an amazing artist, but also an avid gamer and Final Fantasy fan, so please look forward to hearing his theme song!”

latest details via PlayStation Blog

In just over two months, players will finally get their hands on Final Fantasy XVI, the next mainline installment of the Final Fantasy series. The game follows Clive Rosfield as he harnesses powerful Eikons to overcome his tragic destiny.

Today’s State of Play not only explores intricate details of the story and world lore, but also gives a first glimpse into the game’s party combat and colossal battles with new Eikons.

We hope today’s broadcast was exciting for everyone, both for fans keeping up with Final Fantasy XVI updates, and those who are hearing about the game for the first time. Some highlights from today’s show:

Clive’s Hideout

Clive’s Hideout, which serves as his base camp throughout the game, was revealed at State of Play. The footage showcased Clive preparing for upcoming battles by crafting items with gathered materials or tackling training modes.

Players can also complete a variety of side quests as well as Mob Hunts, that allows you to take on stronger enemies. Mob Hunts can be accepted from the Hunt Board where you’ll spot a familiar face from the series—Moogle!

Loresman Harpocrates and Vivian Ninetales

Loresman Harpocrates appears in Clive’s Hideout. He studies the history and customs of Valisthea, researching the local climate, folklore, religion, and traditions.

Harpocrates is very curious about Clive’s stories he takes home from his adventures. As Clive shares his past experiences, Harpocrates gains new knowledge as a researcher. And the Thousand Tomes in which he keeps records of his knowledge, will become more and more complete.

You can read up on everything about Valisthea if you visit Harpocrates and unravel the Thousand Tomes for yourself. Don’t forget to talk to Harpocrates when you stop by the Hideout during your travels.

Vivian the Military Scholar is well versed in the affairs of the countries of Valisthea and gives Clive lectures at various points in the story. You can talk to her in the Hideout as well.

Vivian is very knowledgeable about present day Valisthea, as well as its history. She will be happy to bestow you with knowledge of the past. With her help, you can explore the details of ever-changing character relationships and world affairs during specific time periods. Whenever you want to review the story so far or determine where Clive should go next, her knowledge will surely be of great help.

We hope you take advantage of their extensive knowledge to further immerse yourself in the story of Final Fantasy XVI!

New Combat Showcase

The latter half of the show was focused on combat. The show revealed new footage of Clive’s action gameplay, titanic clashes between the Eikons themselves, and epic Eikonic abilities.

—Clive strikes against multiple enemies during a gameplay action sequence.

—This time, Clive battles against numerous foes in a castle courtyard.

—A close up of the Eikon Ifrit’s face. A red glow pulses through his teeth, contrasting with the pale blue in his eyes.

—A figure floats in the skies above.

The show also unveiled many other details and characters for the very first time, so keep your eyes peeled!

Final Fantasy XVI will launch for PlayStation 5 on June 22, 2023.
