After giving it a lot of thought when everything has been going through this year, whether it'd be getting my music career started, personal life, and so much more. I think it's time for me to announce this.

Today, five days away from this channel's eighth anniversary, I'm officially announcing my retirement from YouTube. I won't be changing my mind like I did before. By this year's end, I'll be leaving this platform behind. I've been on this platform since 2012 across various channels. I have done a lot on this platform, whether it'd be doing walkthroughs of various games, AMVs and music. I want to say whether you've known me since the very beginning I've started YouTube, starting off this channel or just finding this channel recently, I want to thank all of you.

I've recently got two of my degrees in Music and Biology. I've been preparing to begin my careers in those fields. It's going to take away 100% of my time on here to produce content here. There's also a lot of personal stuff that's been going on that also made me come to this decision, but we're not going to touch on that. Right now, I think it's time for me to step away. Not because I've given up, but I've given everything I could to this channel, and I feel content about it. It's time for me to move forward.

I want to thank every single one of you who has been around this channel throughout the years. It was fun giving you all a lot of content to watch and listen to. I will mention one more thing, I'm going to keep on uploading whenever I get the chance, but the final upload will be on the last day of 2025.

Once again, thank you all and I hope you all have a good day today!

Hi, guys. So after thinking about it for a few days, and since things aren't as bad as they were during the first half of the year, I've decided to not retire this channel. After thinking about it, I feel like throwing in the towel would be a total waste of time and effort I put into the channel for six years. I've poured out a lot of stuff that was fun to do, and it would be a waste to just stop. Second, while the first half of this year was VERY bad, things are calming down. So I was able to do things such as attend music concerts and even perform in some that restored my drive to do music stuff again. Third, I will say that I'm still busy with a lot of things in real life, so I won't be uploading a lot. So I will upload whenever I have time. Fourth, doing YouTube and uploading what I do is my escape from real-life stuff, so when I decided to throw in the towel, I realized it made me feel a lot worse than I usually would. So with that being said, I'll resume activities on this channel and try whenever I can.

Hello, everyone. I have been thinking long and hard about this during my hiatus and I've finally come to a decision. After so many videos and nearly six years. I've decided to throw in the towel, in other words, it means my time here on YouTube is coming to a close. It honestly has been fun posting Pokémon, Sega Genesis, and other sound fonts on this channel. This decision has been on my mind since I announced my indefinite hiatus, though this decision wasn't an easy one to decide. I have been going through so much in real life; moving into a new house, family, school, there's a lot more I could list, but I'm gonna keep it short. Due to all of this, it drained my drive to even create new stuff if I do come back. Though I will say, I have tons of videos that are going to be uploaded/scheduled on specific days as stated in my previous posts until August. So all in all, this channel will have about 1000 videos by the end of everything. I'll end it off right here; it's been an amazing six years and thank you for everything!

Hi, everyone! I'm just here to give you guys a month update. Things has been getting somewhat better, but I'm still going to be on hiatus since I'm not mentally at 100%. Furthermore, thank you guys for 1.55K subscribers, it's baffling that I'm almost close to 2000! For the uploads, I forgot to mention one thing from my previous post. I would like to say that there's not only 50 Touhou videos set for you all, but 40 other non Touhou videos that I set up for all for you. By the way, there's a treat for all of you guys. Next month, I have a bunch of Genesis remixes from Touhou 15, so stay tuned for that. A close friend of mine I've known since 2012 has been making sure my scheduled uploads be up at their respective times. When will I return? Well, considering how things are, it may take a while. The estimated month would be August or September. Look forward to it and see you guys soon!

Hello, everyone. I want to make an important announcement to make regarding the future of this channel. From here on out, I'm going on a indefinite hiatus; Reason for this is mainly because I haven't been doing good both mentally and physically. I'll keep it short and say it's been very hectic in real life and I feel like this is the best time to step away from everything. But don't worry, I already have about 50 uploads (They are all Touhou remixes) set to upload on specific dates. So until then, I'll be coming back when the time is right.

Going on a mental health break to get myself together. There has been a lot of things going on and I just want to step away for a bit. I have some uploads that are scheduled on certain days and I am going to have a close friend watch my channel. I will be back soon. Thank you for understanding.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I came back not too long ago-
