That was a bit of a whammy finding out that he died at a young age.

Condolences to him and his family and friends.

To think that that he was the same age as me... I've had a short life after all. Rest in peace to this respectable musician.

Exactly what I was coming to say. At 20, what could have happened?

Not really a Vocaloid fan, but it's always sad to hear when someone dies this young. Condolences to his friends and family.

Good lord, twenty is too young! What the heck happened!?
But even so, he had already produced so many songs, my favorite being Strobe Last.

I don't know what the cause of the death, but when it's unspecified, it's usually because of reasons we all better not to know. So it's not uncommon to think that he probably... committed suicide. What's more, he posted his last song at 23 July, "Please Give Me a Red Pen" before his death.

His last tweet roughly translates to "Because (I) became an adult, (I) lost my charm, they said. It seems (I) can't become an adult."

But let's not jump to conclusions despite of whatever.

Please do not ask, how he died. This is not the right way to do it. That is a really delicate thing


Let's not be hypocrites here, he was only 20. It's perfectly natural to think 'why?".

ohh my God I feel dizzy I'm going to faint this can't be possible.
I loved this guy, I loved him, this has to be a joke. I am such a big fan of Shiina Mota I've been his fan for so many years, this can't be happening, please don't tell me he really killed himself.

if you're like me, that means you don't like vocaloids and there music, some may even say that there killing music, but me I don't care. twenty is just way to young, to put this into prospective he's not even legal drinking age in America. Sad

Thanks for the links. It's nice to see so many kind messages on the video about his passing. His last tweet really makes me uncomfortable though. It really does sound like a goodbye. If he did commit suicide it is quite a shame. Either way he was far too young to leave this world.

thats too sad. i feel him. i guess nobody was there to help him in his darkest hour. usually when its suicide the cause of death remains hidden. to be young, there is a burden that comes with it that most take for granted. i have been in his shoes, but i stepped out at the last second.

We're all better off not knowing how any person died, but we know of all these Japanese personalities who died of various cancers, or who were very sick. I think that it's not that we shouldn't know, it's that they probably didn't determine cause of death yet.
