Such underrated channel. Great video ! There is no suficient amount of crack pipe that make a person create this type of art like Osamu, some people born different. First time i heard about LSD Dream Emulator, was when i read about a creepasta about porn or gore hidden in the game.

Wake up, Taigen just dropped

[@quirbix]

Good analysis on Osamu Sato's works! LSD has led me down to a whole rabbit hole of one of his abstract works like Eastern Mind and Chu-Teng, and which i find them pretty surreal.

[@lcthepianta]

I just found your channel and I’m just completely captivated by the depth of your videos. Now I know what to binge today :)

[@meyerpictures]

I really appreciate your work, especially your graphic design style.

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Thank you

[@JustAPlayOnWords]

Damn can’t believe it’s probably cheaper to buy real LSD than to buy this game. Fascinating video!

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Thanks!

When i was doing lots of acid in the late 2000s it was 5 dollars a hit. Its one of the cheapest drugs you can get actually.

Great video, really! Just one minor correction, when you say "Bauhaus" at 4:50, the art that appears is by Piet Mondrian, who was part of the De Stijl movement and never worked for the Bauhaus.

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Oh, whoops! Blame Google images

[@badcafe]

Great video! I haven't seen a better overview of his work like this. I think you picked fitting music, too. One small detail, the screenshot shown when you mention The Alphabetical Orgasm is actually from a video for Alphabetical Animals. The article even mislabels it. Funny thing, this Alphabetical Animals video is from a lost VHS which just got found, called Compu Movie. It's being put on the internet tomorrow, the Sato community got a hold of it >:)

[@TheCellarTaigenMoon]

Thanks! And oh wow, I think that tape came up in my research as a piece of lost media, really glad to see his fanbase is still digging stuff up

[@ldf8598]

Seeing you cover Osamu Sato games is a pleasure. Thanks for the good content

[@BlargMeister]

amazing video and what a fascinating life osamu sato has lived! found my way here from the failed punctuation video on your 2nd channel and I'll be sure to stick around

[@dicewrites]

Hell yeah always excited for more Taigen videos, going to kick back with lunch and enjoy this one.

[@zerir.3726]

Really enjoyed this, especially the look into Tong Nou and his other work which is comparatively harder to find. The dream-like quality in LSD is something I can’t get enough of, keep replaying it under whatever influence, whatever music in the background….

[@baneblade__]

This is fascinating, thanks for covering this topic!

[@smiled_man9981]
