hello, iruka
---- just to warn, the images are of my traditional art, so there will be no coloured gore, but it does have drawings of blood.

ive just found this small subreddit because ive been a fan of iruka for a while now, and id just like for people to know my appreciation for it.
theres something so indescribable about this type of music, its something that soothes my soul everytime. i repeat both albums almost daily, and during the most stressful times , it can completely stop that stress even if its one of the crazy ones. it feels like the 'overwhelming' music completely combats my overwhelmed mind into reality again.
these two albums have significantly gave me so much motivation and inspiration, i could listen to these on and on (which may sound like this type of music is a drug..).
As for the character in the album and website -- i refer to her as iruka -- is so special to me. maybe its the memory of seeing the website for the first time, seeing all of the weird comics and art that felt so charming. its a character that brings me comfort, its all so unique.
in a way i find comfort in its crazy look. i constantly feel crazy in my mind, i wish i could express that every day, and the look, theories, things made of iruka, it makes me feel like myself again. i find her to be so comforting... the pitched-up voice and horror-ish music tracks... i cant describe that feeling in words. i just love the voice, the art, the music, i wish i could do something just like that.
the album art has made me realize i can let go of being perfect in my art, since i constantly try and try to have perfect anatomy and lines. its been so long since ive felt so free in that aspect, and since iruka is rough and sketchy in the album, shes so easy to draw.
shes genuinely my comfort character,,
this is my tribute to the iruka no yumede sayonara community. while small community-wise, this personality that it has -has genuinely made my life better. i couldn't have asked for anything more in music. thank you, iruka.
