2019 is bad with death. My Pokemon TCG friend that I only knew online died the same way wowaka did in September. I sent him my somewhat pulls and got a response from his mom. We never met irl, we just traded through the mail. A couple months earlier Cameron Boyce, who was my age, also died while sleeping (though specifically from a seizure). It felt like everyone was dying young in their sleep. It felt so terrifying.
The same month as wowaka tho... so he died at the beginning of the month. At the end of the month my dad took his own life. The last time I saw him alive was a year earlier at a funeral reception place for his mother’s funeral. The next time I saw him was in a coffin in the same building.
What I hate about grieving is that I don’t cry either. Instead I get the WORST headaches. When my dog got put down in 2018 I went to the ER it was so bad, but at least the drug they gave me made it go away. I didn’t go to the ER when my dad died and it lasted for 3 days after the funeral. I legitimately couldn’t do anything except lay down because nothing I could take at home worked. A month later I released the first Many Voices of Hatsune Miku video (which was so weirdly edited that it doesn’t exist anymore). I’m not sure how related it is, but it’s still interesting to note I guess.
Now I’ve been releasing videos weekly since January 8th and haven’t broken the streak. I don’t want to break the streak, but I do want to really get going with Miku English covers of her Japanese songs. I’m just gonna keep going until every Vocaloid gets a Many Voices and take full advantage of my built in sub base for when I finally release music.
If I ever do anything original it’ll be with my dad’s Yamaha keyboard from 1996 (two years older than me) that’s midi compatible. I’m glad we took it in the divorce because I found out he had sold his guitars on Facebook a few weeks before he died. That’s the biggest red flag for me, since those guitars and cars were his real passions that he never got to fully pursue. I thought I’d be a fiction author, but here I am buying Melodyne to help Miku sound her best because it’s what she deserves.
This feels like rambling, but the point is, I absolutely get what you’re saying with this video.
I wish you the best. You can do it :)
You can do it!!! I'll support you!! 😊
I cried a little bit when I read your comment. I thought my life was tough than anyone else but I found you're deeper inside with the no end rabbit hole. Stay strong bro
Thats rough, keep rolling out there.
After multiple years since you posted this, I hope your in a better state and doing better!
he was a amazing vocaloid producer, and so, may he rest in peace.
It makes me so sad that samfree is very rarely mentioned in the Vocaloid-community.
He did a lot of good songs, he deserve more love.
RIP
Really, it's pitiful. May he rest in peace.
underrated producer..
While not related to Samfree, it makes me really depressed that Siinamota/Powapowa-P's popularity spiked many months after his passing, some of his songs even recently hitting 1M+ on YT and NicoNico. It just makes me sad he wasn't able to see it happen, but I'm sure he would've been happy to know that his music has impacted many people's lives, even saving some from suicide. I hope him and Samfree rest in peace.
Please give me a red pen made me cry 😔
It's like that one lyric from If I Die Young by The Band Perry.
"And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singin'
Funny when you're dead, how people start listenin'"
samfree: the god of vocaloid eurobeat
Although I never really liked his music, I can recognize the impact he made on the vocaloid comunity. He could've done so much more great stuff if he was still here. Great video btw
Sa.e
Indeed. If he were still with us, we would've had a song composed for Magical Mirai or any official Miku event from him.
Heck, we might get a tenth anniversary version of Luka Luka Night Fever.
This just made me remember of how the day after me and one of my closest friends at the time heard of Samfree's passing we decided to put on Luka Luka Night Fever as a sign of respect for him while we went to school. It felt weird because we would usually talk and joke around, Vocaloid music giving us a bit of a push to start the day postively, that morning the only thing that was there with us seemed to be this grayish, grim atmosphere though. It was a very weird moment and I think it changed the way I listen to this song forever.
Like you I'm not a good griever at all as I don't cry either, it used to bother me a lot but I realized after a while that the emotions are still there even if I might not externate them. I got into Touhou eurobeat arranges around last year and when seeing his name pop up in one album it made me smile in a bittersweet way, like a "long time no see!" kind of thing. I got a bit teary eyed when playing Luka Luka Night fever on the Diva games, it made me realize that I was in fact still so attached to his work, and had many good memories attached to it.
Sorry for the ramble anyways, I usually don't get much of a chance to say how much a specific producer means to me and it felt kind of liberating to do so here.
Watching the video,I got that feeling in my throat like right before you start crying.
It's okay to be a mess when it comes to this stuff - Samfree,Powapowa and wowaka all left traces that can't be erased.
Listening to those old tunes once in a while is good.
Rest in peace.
He'll always be a legend in my heart ❤️
Fancy seeing you here
But yeah, a legend from the start
“Powapowa-P was only twenty”
my heart dropped.
Rest In Peace to these amazing producers
First of all, rest in peace Samfree, Wowaka, and Powapowa-P
I was in early high school when I first heard about PowaPowa and Samfree. It was chilling, but I didn't really understand how to cope with that information. I guess one of Samfree's strengths is that his songs always guaranteed you a good time (how can anyone feel down when listening to Luka Luka Night Fever?). PowaPowa hit me in particular because he began composing at around the same age I was at the time (14/15), and since then songs like Strobe Last have always been an emotional listening experience for me. And I don't even think I can put into words the legacy that Wowaka created and how that still affects me now, even in college.
Secondly, I just want to say thank you for making video content about Vocaloids. I feel like fans (at least in the West) never had a voice to bounce off or start discussions like this (maybe because we were all too young at the time). These producers all had a huge influence on my childhood and to see them gone so suddenly in my youth is heartbreaking, to say the least. I never had friends who were really into Vocaloid, so as a fan I feel comforted that people are using this space as a place to deal with that grief. Samfree lived his best life, and I feel better knowing how his music career has blossomed. There's something to take from all this.
This is such interesting timing because a good friend of mine showed me this song on Soundcloud the other day that I really liked, and I mentioned to him how the song reminded me of samfree and I recommended to him some songs of his
First of all, great video! Second of all, dont worry about your video being that high quality. My video for Samfree is not even that good but it should not matter because it is our way of paying respect. Remember, its about the producer, not the video quality and I can safly say that this video is great. And thridly, I want to say that while yes, Samfree's death is a tragedy, we should not let that haunt us. I had my early connections to vocaloid thanks to Samfree and few others. His duty is to spread the wrld with joy and happiness with the power of Vocaloid while our job is to not forget his legacy. He has done his job well, lets do ours well too. Rest in peace Samfree, your an angel now.
I got into Vocaloid about two years ago through Samfree, because I listened to Eurobeat a lot at the time, when I stumbled upon a live video of Luka Luka Night Fever. I started listening to his other songs, especially the ones with the awesome guitar parts. His music was a big factor in me eventually wanting to learn the instrument. I'd go absolutely batshit crazy if they'll play one of his songs at the next MikuExpo.
One of my favourite songs is Perfect Crime. I love his music so much. Rest in peace I miss you Samfree.
DAAAAME DAME YO
I'll remember forever his eurobeat energy
@lemonssssssss4 Yeah there's a lot of eurobeat in the Touhou scene unexpectedly
Damn, your story is too relatable. I thought I was the only one feeling like this. I felt nothing when my aunt passed away, even tho I wanted to cry or be sad I couldn’t. I felt nothing I don’t think I’ve even realized that she’s really gone. And when other people are sad can’t I even comfort them. I have no idea how to I just freeze and stare. And then I get so disappointed in myself for not crying or missing the ones I’ve lost and not helping my friends when they’re sad. I don’t know why it became like this, when I was younger would I always cry and comfort others. Now can I barely show affection at all
Hi. This isn't the main point of the video but I want to say the way you described grieving for a loved one really made me tear up. I just lost my dad and it's true I feel like there's always that emptiness that will never go away. Thank you. You're doing great work for bringing to light some of the forgetten producers in the vocaloid community.
PowapowaP commited suicide... He was so young, only 5 years older than me. His last song was posted hours before his death. The song was red ink I think
Edit: It's give me a red pen
IA is pronounced "ee ah" similar to her voice provider, Lia
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING TOO LOL
Ohhhh so like Japanese pronunciation lol I’m dumb
@Lidia Yeganian no iT'S IA
@GABi / Shad_e_d SAME I stopped the video just to write a comment, but thank god there were already some
Uhhh I'm am idiot I was just pronouncing it in I.A
I've been years looking for content or people to talk about vocaloid in a deep level like you do, vocaloid has been my passion for almost 10 years since I was like 12. Please keep it up, I loved this video
I don't know what to do after remembering his name. I am really sad . REST IN PEACE SAMFREE ...
Came here to learn about Samfree, did not expect this major emotional trip.
Just a personal story related to death. TW suicide
So back in 2008, my grandma died. I was still very young to the point where I didn't yet fully understand what death was as a concept, but watching my mum grieve was extremely bizzare.
My mum hated my dad, and still does. I can remember sitting at the top of the stairs with her and my sister, and she asked us how we would feel if she left my dad. We were kids, so of course we got upset. After my grandma died, my mum couldn't cope, and to distract herself, she decided to get married to my dad on Christmas eve the following year. I watched her cry as she got me ready, with no clue why someone would be upset on what's supposed to be the best day of their life.
A couple years later, my mum left and met another man who's brother coincidentally had also commit suicide around Christmas. She actually did fall in love this time and attempted to leave my dad behind, though they were still married. Financially, we suffered very badly. When we wanted to get a mortgage for a house, she finally divorced him, and he dragged out the divorce by refusing to cooperate, costing my mum thousands in soliciter fees. We nearly ended up homeless and are still in debt even now.
My understanding of grief only really solidified a couple years ago when an idol of mine passed away. Also around Christmas. Also by suicide. I was so shocked and upset, my mind went to some of the darkest places I've been in for a very long time. It made me realize how temporary life is, and I regret not appreciating people in my family before it was too late to let them know how grateful I am for them just being there. I agree, people want to be remembered for the good times but I really struggle to get away from the fact that I didn't do enough for them when they were still around. Recently, I've been struggling with my mental health again and this time I'm dead set on getting the help I need and persueing what I want to do with my life, so that when I am gone, no matter how others choose to remember me, I can reflect on whatever legacy I leave and be proud that I made the most of it.
I believe that grief should be natural and thus genuine, not forced. If you don't feel any grief for a death, that's ok. We are all different and all grief in a different way. Sometimes it has a delayed effect and it can hit you minutes, hours, days or even months or years later. And that's fine.
What's sad is that most of Samfree's songs aren't tied to any labels, which makes getting his songs to be added into concerts or having existing songs modified for concerts (i.e. World is Mine getting a different animation and being played in full from 2014 onwards) impossible.
Which is why we always see the same animation for Luka Luka Night Fever in every concert; there's no one to contact for permission so that it could be changed.
Unlike Wowaka, Samfree seems to have NO contact representative so his songs will be lost to time eventually, which is truly sad.
i just wanted to say that i understand what you mean about grieving. my grandfather passed recently after being treated for dementia for almost 6 years. my mom was completely devastated but i couldn't cry for some reason. i couldn't even feel sad. i'm glad you mentioned your experience in this vid because i thought i was the only one who felt that way. even with vocaloid producers dying, sometimes i get sad and sometimes i don't, and it depends almost entirely on how i find out they died. its almost as if the finding out makes me grieve, not their actual death. which is odd...but it could be worse i guess. thanks for this video and perspective, it was a great tribute to samfree. r.i.p.
YO VIDEOS AMAZING BTW -LOVE FROM JAPAN
great video with an uplifting message. i'm glad you went with a less edited approach, it comes off more genuine for a video that's emotional. it always brightens my day when i get a notification from you, keep it up!
listened to every single song he released years ago and knew who he really was like a year ago. im ashame to say i completely ignored producers those days like many other vocaloids listeners.
It was sad when i got interest on producers and got to know about him who was doing most of my favorite songs , but was already dead.
rip.
My grandfather that had lung cancer died 2 days ago and this video made me cry but the point is that I also kinda reacted like you did.
Thank you for the positive takeaway at the end of the video, and your personal stories and views about the grieving process. The moment you mentioned PowaPowaP, I always get filled with so much sadnes, since of the three talented Vocaloid producers that are no longer with us, he was the one producer whose music left the most impact on me personally.
oh god??? i never knew what happened to samfree. i was a huge fan of his earworm-like songs. may he rest in peace. i hope he knows how big his impact in the vocaloid community is ♡
Nice video and nice reflection
May Samfree rest in peace his music was great especially Luka Luka night fever and promise
Amazing video, I feel you with not knowing how to comfort people, I sincerely not know and when I go to sad events I don't cry. I want to grow and learn how to make people feel better
For me at least, I’ve never really moved on from grief. I’ve moved with grief. Each person I’ve lost is like a small hard oddly shaped object that I carry with me in my pocket. Sometimes I may forget that it’s there but whenever I sit down or have a moment I can feel it sitting there jabbing into my thigh. I’ve never felt like grief was something that I could put in a box or walk away from.
Your description of how it feels when someone passes away and you feel totally nothing to the point where you can't even empathize with people who are emotional about the passing is exactly the same way I've felt when someone passes away. I try to look sad and I make sure I go give everyone a hug, but I have no idea how to feel it myself
That apathetic response and the emotions afterwards that you face is something I feel too, the way you articulate it really helps me feel... it? Idk, thanks for making this video
I understand what youe talking about with grief and funerals my dad died back in 2016 and I just feel like I couldn't process it my Brian just refuses to acknowledge he's gone and I feel really disconnected. I have the same sensation with other deaths that hit me hard so for musicians like wowaka or samfree who's music had such a big impact on me it feels almost surreal to think they're gone.
RIP Samfree. You will always be remembered.
I was today years old when I learned that samfree composed the "Make My Day" OP for Binbougami ga!. I would listen to that song in my car driving to work and singing along to it. The guy had serious songwriting chops.
Samfree. That man..
Finally someone mentioned Samfree..
Truth is I only knew him because of Luka Luka Night Fever, but that was enough.
It's weird how it's the only song most people know of Luka and how few of them know Samfree
promise became a very special song for me after he passed
Actually, I have been through someone really close to me dying. In 5th grade, two years ago, one of my best friends died in November. The weird thing is, I didn't really even cry. I got through it quickly. Nowdays, no one talks about it anymore, but I still mention it when I hear sad songs or tributes. Otherwise on sad songs, I talk about my depression
Regardless of it being rushed, I really appreciate this video.
I didn't know much about him other than his production of certain songs so I'm happy to get to know more about him.
It's great that you're keeping up the memory of the producers in the community.
Just one last DAME DAME YO! for our best producer Samfree
I'm so glad I found this channel. I haven't been up to date with vocaloid since the early 2010s but your videos definitely inspired me to get back into it. You always have such great takes and videos like this are so much more relatable than you think. I have the exact same feelings surrounding the death of loved ones and its so refreshing to see that I'm not alone. I dont usually comment very often but this video really touched me. On a unrelated note I'd love to see you explore the works of nashimoto-p as he was my favorite vocaloid producer. Thanks again for your amazing videos that got me back into the world of vocaliod.
these videos always reach me deeply, thank you so much for making videos about **complete legends** :,(
;__; *gives you a huge hug*
Thanks for making this man
5:31
Even on holidays I always think about my father . Wishing he was still here.
oh so i'm crying today
5:31 I can relate. My father I was most closest with passed away when I was either 12 or 13. I still miss him. I never really had a good relationship with my mother . So when she died after , I didn't really feel anything. I know that sounds horrible. I've just never felt loved by my own mother. My father however, I felt that really cared about me. That's why I'm most closest to my father.
T.T sad but will always be remember.
Press f to give respect

Shikataneena, You deserved a sub.Truth is Sam is using vocaloid for fun.
i don’t know why but, with these topics on vocaloid, i feel nostalgic, i wanna cry, even though, i have just been in the fandom for almost 2 years.
Great video! I've been looking for this video style centering on vocaloid/vocal synth, so I'm really glad I found this channel. Thanks for talking about these amazing producers who helped us work through so much in our youth. I think another producer to take a good look at would be OSTERproject! She's an absolute pillar of the community, a female producer, and a member of the LGBT+ community!
I just found your channel, and gosh where have you been all my life? I’ve been following the scene around 2008 and eventually got busy with college in 2013, like you. Man I remember getting so hyped checking for the weekly rankings. I really hope you do more video essays one the producers from the golden era! I have some recommendations: Sasakure UK, 40mP, Nem, Kuwagata, Nanou, and my personal favorite Fullkawa Honpo. 🥰
They were beautiful, inside and out.
Thank you❤
Damn, I was away from Vocaloid for a few years and I had no idea wowaka died
great vids men! i enjoy a lot knowing about producers and songs
also, i had some suggestion for you (a bit off topic bout the vid, sorry). as i can see you dont cover the scene of metal to much, so what about talking of yuyoyuppe and utsu-P, they are temporarily close and had big influenses on the next years of producers of vocaloid metal. making possible by influence (personal think) the album "ark" wich bring to the scene a not so popular voicebank as one of the main singers, nekomura iroha, and not only that, because on the next month a large collab album "vocanoise vol.3", again with new voicebank and a lot of producers. And how, that traduces on one of the best producers on shonentaro and Blatantly Emotional Records on the actuallity of vocametal.
I personally think that he scene of vocametal is so unexplored and needs recognition, because for example, utsu-p still made music and i omited crucial names like noa+ or BASSDRUM RENDAP (バスドラ連打P), the use of luka on the genre, the impact of "leia" or the idea of using populars and unpopulars voicebanks
I'm outside and I'm gonna cry
My grandparents on both sides died back to back from when I was 18 until I was 20 my grandmother on my dad's side first mind you I was 18 and it was close to Christmas i was looking at her urn of ashes and I just started crying because it was my first Christmas without helping her make dinner cried so hard my father who was about 53-54 at the time came down from his room to hug me and he started crying himself that was the first time ever I saw my dad cry
I lost my granny last month and my pet quail this Sunday. And I'm going tru healing from a heartbreak this year...
can you make a video about powapowa/ siinamota too? He's my favourite producer who saddly too, passed away when he's still young. I can help with the video if you want to ^^
Hi, I just finished my school today :)
Hope you had a good day at school!
ubnubmaster I did =D
Your not alone I suck a grieving too
Amazing video!, would you consider making a video about NashimotoUI? I think he's one of the most underrated vocaloid producers -w-
omg did you really just pronounce IA as "ai ei" @_@
🖤
I thought I was i was the only person who thought this
you should consider checking out some of maretus music if you haven't already! it's super unique and they're def one of my top producers ♡
