It's almost as if Satoshi Kon and Susumu Hirasawa were destined to work together.

Out of all the Satoshi Kon movies, this one hits me the hardest. Life is so short and we all only get one chance.

It's strange how 4-minutes of sounds can feel like years of memories

After all, what I really love is the chase.

It's sad. Sometimes music like this seems to enter my whole body, mind and soul for days, sometimes even weeks. I can't describe the feeling, but it's like i'm happy and sad at the same time, aching for something i have forgotten or will never have in my life, and i don't know what it is. At the same time my heart feels heavy and light at the same time and i'm always trying to show people this experience or share my feelings with them. I show them the movie and the song before and after it, but they never seem to get it. I wish i had a person in my life who would feel the same. Feeling enlighted and crushed down at the same time, and yet it's so wonderful to be able to feel this... i'm sorry if there might be any spelling mistakes.

虚無の中をただただ永遠に走り回っているかのような

I have not even seen the movie, yet I'm literally crying while sitting in a train full of people. Susumu Hirasawa isn't human

平沢進っぽい怪しい音づくりなのに爽やかかつ情熱的な疾走感で何度でも聴ける。ステルスメジャーは伊達じゃないな。

Susumu Hirasawa's music transcends human emotions. The man is more than alive.

His themes are so beautiful and angelic. Even in Paranoia Agent and Berserk.

今でも思う。

Her kimono has cranes on it because cranes are said to have a life span of 1000 years in Japanese lore.

god this guy is so good

After having listened to various of Hirasawa's best albums I'm convinced the guy's a gift to humanity, really. A true light being from a distant place showing us how his beautiful home is. I strongly believe these feelings he conveys through his music can actually become our future, hopefully. A world where science and spirituality coexist and work together to propel us into a new light era. I'm just, grateful to be alive in this time period along with him, he has shared many beautiful gifts with the world...

That scene where she is riding a horse through a frozen battlefield was one of the most artistic shots in all of cinema.

Whenever I listen to Susumu's music, I feel like the music is something that I listened to a long time ago, but don't remember when. I feel nostalgic and I don't even remember anything that sounds close to his music. I feel sad and happy at the same time. I feel like my soul is leaving my body. And I feel like I'm getting kissed by an Angel and a Demon at the same time. His music is made up of human emotions.

I am convinced that Susumu Hirasawa came from another planet. This is glorious.

アニメーションの利点を最大限に生かす事に長けた人たち。今さんの画と平沢さんの音がつくる世界は凄いとしか言いようが無いんですよね。もっともっと観たかったし聴きたかったです。

This track is part of one of the greatest moments in film history

If you haven't seen the film, watch it right now. Basically, it's a romantic film, but you'll never see anything like it.
