Biography:
He became involved in music activities for the first time when he was in high school, there he played the guitar and did the vocals for a band. Later on, when he discovered the now famous video uploading site Nico Nico Douga, he would start posting videos there himself. This would start in 2008, and he would upload mainly VOCALOID-type music meshed with loud rock colors. He gained immense popularity on the site and was even entered into the Nico Nico Douga hall of fame. He was particularly interested in a song titled "Hope", but because his lyrics made his feelings popular, he began to write lyrics that were far from fiction and closer to reality. This, he said, described himself.
He would later make a major debut on the album "Story of Hope", which would come ou on September 26 of 2012. Later on January 16 of 2013, the album "Wall in the presence -Yuppeism edition-" was released on the iTunes Store. Even later on July 16 of 2014, the album "Bokaro Holic" was released. While participating in the making of all of these albums, he was also in-charge of the vocals in the band My Eggplant Died Yesterday, though the band suspended in July of 2014. From this suspension, a new band would form, titled "GRILLED MEAT YOUNGMANS".
