[@CatNaps]

If I remember correctly, he's also been diagnosed with autism, and I think that's really neat :)

[@kaorunichijou]

Also the interesting thing is that in his early videos on NND he drew illustrations with just a mouse and was given a title of "mouse warrior"

[@Cristyface]

I have unending respect for him as a musician, and have loved his music since I was 16/17 (I am 28 now). He's creative, eccentric, talented, hard working, and makes unique and recognizable music. Plus, his illustrations are great!!

omggg i think my jp bf mentioned he used to work with him before, he was also an ex famous vocaloid producer but im not gonna mention his name for privacy reasons LOL

[@Noelu08]

I've been a kenshi fan more than 10 years and went to his live show as well. It makes me happy to see more people talk about him bc he is such an amazing and unique artist ❤️

[@mysteriogaming478]

just letting you know, love your content man! your content is exactly what made for people like me. you definitely deserve more recognition! keep it up!

Thank you. I first heard his song in 2014, when I was a middle schooler who was really into vocaloid. I sort of rediscovered his music through Lemon. It reached such high popularity in east Asia that I, living in China at the time. Would hear regularly on the streets. I am a little sad that you didn’t mention Lemon hahaha

[@ilikefact]

He is probably fun to smoke with

I was recommended your video about Ano and found it really nice, so I came and checked if you had done one on Kenshi Yonezu. I love his creativity. Actually fell in love with his music and illustrations because of Vivi, and he's constantly been on my playlist ever since. I was never really interested in his personal life, but seeing how passionate he is about music, it makes me respect him more. Waiting anxiously for his new album! Thank you for the insights on his career. Subscribed for more otaku culture.
