Umi no Ue Kara
The longest track on Kakashi, played live on the 2025 North American tour.
Yasuaki Shimizu, from Kakashi (1982)
It is track 2 of side two and, at 8:19 on Wikipedia and 8:24 on a Japanese listing, the album's longest. Wikipedia credits Shimizu as writer; the track-number credits give Yamaki on percussion, Watanabe on bass, engawa, balafon and wind bells, and Kanezaki on trumpet. Resident Advisor calls it the most intriguing track, using dubbed-out drums, marimbas and muttered vocals for a mellow mood, with Shimizu's horn weaving languidly through, and In Sheep's Clothing recommends it.
Setlist.fm shows it as the third song at the Great Hall in Toronto on March 26, 2025 and at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on March 31, 2025; a filmed performance from National Sawdust in New York on March 21, 2025 is on YouTube. A Katowice entry for August 3, 2018 is unconfirmed. We found no covers or samples.
