The Abandoned 18 Year-old Musical Prodigy | Kanaria

one of my agency's talent sang a cover for Kanaria's identity kzbin.info/www/bejne/jn3RomWHlMpliLcsi=cCFVycv_bXLcxHyB go check it ouy🥰

[@Sedkitgar]

All this time, I thought he was a famous old producer. Glad, he found himself as vtuber to relax a little bit. Music Industry is crazy right now. Great documentary.

[@Yiman]

thanks!! yeah me and majority of the internet thought he was a middle aged ojisan this whole time😅 the plot twist is real!

[@dudesayshi2191]

For more context, yes Identity is made for a cup noodle advertisement, and that is a collab between cup noodle and a MIKU GACHA GAME btw, alongside Blue Paint (kujira), Salamander (Deco*27), Cosmo Spice (Pinnocchino-p) and Cup Noodle Prohibition (Mitchie M). He really made a song promoting cup noodle this good. He made a song about the collaboration between Project Sekai and Cup Noodles specifically the Plain Flavor and he made this.

[@amaiacalliope]

hold on, SALAMANDER WAS CREATED FOR CUP NOODLE??? jesus christ

Now there is even younger than Kanaria his name is Azari i'm pretty sure everyone here heard of his songs also he started creating music when he was 16 he is 19 now

[@seka_VG]

come on now let's not turn this into an age race, just as many young money out there as other hardworking talents

[@soep19]

Nah, I thought that Ado was an outlier. It turned out that our generation is really starting to pump out some good music lol

[@frostyclouded]

siinamota started at 14, orangestar started at 15 and n-buna at 16 iirc? there are a lot of young vocaloid producers for sure

[@seka_VG]

Honestly, as someone who's young and loves making music, Kanaria really is one of my BIGGEST inspirations. Man, Kanaria NEVER misses!

[@otsukareboku]

Man I didn't know he went through a lot. It's not just talent at play here, there's sheer determination to pursue his passion and it's not something that everyone can pull off.

[@proxyhx2075]

Man I sure do love Kanaria! Every single one of their tracks hit the spot.

[@Yiman]

he carried the covid era of all things vtuber/vocaloid music🔥 as a hoshiyomi, his collab songs with suisei have always been rotation

[@izora_chan]

​@@Yiman exactly!! It's a little sad that he isn't as popular as he used to be, but that's a good thing. He can finally have some breathing room. (His music now has an overall more lofi vibe to it and I'm all here for it!!) I just hope dude lives a happy life.

I have always liked Kanaria's songs, but I like him even more after writing my school assignment about Vocaloid, and I needed to do research about him 4 months ago! His background and music style really shocked me. It made me realize how crazy he is as a musician. When he dropped Never Fiction, it immediately became my favorite song, too. It surprised me when he suddenly uploaded a streaming waiting room. After that first stream, my Kanaria addiction era began. I watched every stream he did live, I drew Kanaria FA, and I kept singing Kanaria songs in karaoke. He is that life-changing for me. Kanaria is really a human being, his totsu yesterday full of funny happy and sad feelings. He can feel many emotions too, he is not some robot or something. He can feel happy when he meets his good friend, he can get annoyed and scared too. He is someone who needs a place to ramble about his problem, too... I will continue to pursuing this (just started) oshikatsu of mine lmao!

[@MicyPie]

**nods head furiously**

[@Yiman]

yup that is why streaming for him was sucha good move! we are able to see many new sides of him and from that more people are able to relate to him!

[@choochooimlou]

as someone who genuinely adores Kanaria, this just made me respect and look up to him even more, he's so amazing ♡

[@perfectheart9057]

thank you so much for making this video!! ive never seen any videos like this about kanaria, and i never knew his backstory before he started making music. this is a great video, keep up the good work!!

[@LyoNHal]

today i learned kanaria was a man. always assumed a woman was behind those songs because of the covers, never dug past that

[@snowball03-boop]

The voice certainly fooled me in Requiem. But the more I listen to him, I can start to tell.

[@snowball03-boop]

6:24 and 6:54 Hearing these two talk, compared to how their voices mesh together into one in REQUIEM just freaked me out in the best way. This contrast is insane.

[@love_hw4ng11]

i found a reddit thread from like 5 years ago titled "who the f is kanaria!?!?" they were probably a teen at the time, and people knew them for king, but they were still considered a young, up and coming vocalsynth producer. i'm glad they've come so far.

[@sharpnelshots]

I really got into Kanaria after King and I was amazed that it was an 18 year old that made that song! Imagine if he and Ado collab it would be something to think about Love the video!

[@MegumiHiranooooo]

He did collab with her! The song domestic violence on her album Kyougen was produced by KANARIA.

[@seka_VG]

[@seka_VG]

@@JTG073. Their writing was really unique, it's a shame I haven't heard their names in typical convos, almost as if there's a sentiment that vocaloid music was created in a vacuum rather than organically evolved from so many angles

Yes!! I am one of the people who was today years old finding out about the cup noodles collab! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that song. I didn't know about his past but I'm too proud of him knowing it now!!! He's a legendary producer.

[@goose774]

Not sure if anyone will read this random a** long comment and sorry in advance if my rusty english is a little bit weird, but I have a few things that I just have to say. It's been 3 days since I've seen this video and I finally gathered my courage to share this. I knew who Kanaria was but I knew nothing about his life, so I thank you for spreading the word about someone with such a great determination as him. I love music and, long story short, I started singing when I was 14. People often told me that I wasn't great or that my voice sounded awful, so by the time I was 17 I quit. 12 years later (2023), when I turned 29, I thought "f**k it, I'll start singing again no matter what people say" and unfortunately sh** happens and I started suffering with gastroesophageal reflux disease, so I had to stop for a year cause singing started to be really, really hard. I've done a lot of treatments and it seems that I got a little bit better but I never got back the way that I used to be. So what does this story has to do with everything? You see, I'm extra thankful to this video because after knowing about Kanaria's story, this guy showed that no matter how awful life seems, if you truly love your craft, you can do it. You can achieve your dreams. Kanaria just became my inspiration and I feel that I can live my dream someday. Now I'm 30. It's been two weeks since I started tried to sing daily again and honestly it's still bad, but not as bad as before. And 3 days after seeing this video I gathered my courage just to come here and say: thank you. Thank you for sharing that story. And I swear I'll be a hell of a good singer someday, no matter what happens.

[@kausthita11]

Also, melt was my first youtube video I ever watched lol I remember that day as clear as day

[@EmilyGrimReaper]

I was a really big fan of Kanaria, he is one of my favorite artists I place him at number one, for spirit week I dressed up as his outift cause it was easy and comfy I love vocaloid

[@PinkAgaricus]

I feel like with the Cup Noodle collab he picked Niigo (specifically Kanade) for Identity, she shares traits with hm back when he was in school, she also does correspondence, also spends time at home trying to write songs to help people (the key point in every arc with her as focus), and has a single parent (widowered dad, who got ill and ended up in the hospital). Also, King and Queen got covered by the same group, King is covered by just the boys (Tsukasa and Rui, no vocaloid) and Queen by the girls (Emu, Nene, and Meiko).

[@CharleneOcampo13]

0:45 All of my intrigue and mysterious vibes for Kanaria all went out the window when he played hooky and missed a deadline to play Minecraft VCR for double digits of hours every day after geeking out with the NIjisanji, Holostars/Hololive, and Neoporte kids and joined their team; he was just another young person playing a fun game with people he respected who respected him back and honestly, I'm fine with that. He deserves to actually enjoy his youth while he still can, even if it is as a vtuber that rarely interacts with his colleagues IRL LOL. But d*mn, Yoidoreshirazu, identity, and NeverFiction are my jams, I love those songs so much 6:06 IIRC he was late lol, and he also drank a lot with a buddy the night before and he was actually hungover? drunk? while playing and that's why he was apologizing to Astel so profusely and Astel couldn't stop laughing because I think that was the moment that really cemented to Astel that Kanaria was just another dude who geeked over Minecraft and being a blacksmith with his furnaces. I wish they could be buddies, I feel like Kanaria deserves more friends who'd treat him normally and tease him a lot but be there for him when he needs it, his friendship with LAM is so cute and you can see why he chose LAM as his Vtuber mama and usual artist for song releases.

we kinda have. The person who made "young girl a" had a lot of their hits around 15 yrs old. (may they rest in peace). On the English side, a lot of them were young teens too when they started. (kira, circus. both around 14-15 when they got hits)

[@BVK.]

@htsunmiku hol' on, rest in peace? What happened to the first producer you've mentioned?

[@htsunmiku]

@@BVK. Sinnmota/powapowa p. He passed away in 2015 at age 20. Assumed suicide. His last song kinda suggested to why. He was afraid of becoming an adult , and wasn't sure how he'd continue on. This is why I'm all for congratulating young success. But it's important to be careful because you'll have people who are still young (20s etc) thinking it's over because didn't do something big by 18 or are simply afraid of aging because people are so focused on age.
