Goddamn cancer. Sad FLCL was one of the formative experiences of my early fandom, and a massive part of that was the incredible music that fit every scene perfectly. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.

Too many cases like this as of late. Listening to the FLCL soundtrack was quite the experience for me. I learned about a side of Japanese Rock that wasn't VK (no disrespect, I love VK).

Rest in Peace and F*** cancer.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord...

FLCL put his band on my map. Still rock out to them to this day!

For all the FLCL sequels did wrong, it at least got us more pillows music. RIP to a great artist.
