r/Kikuo

he's made some great achievements, not only is he the most streamed voca-p on spotify, but he's also made the most popular Hatsune Miku song. Not once did his songs appear in any official vocaloid concerts (aside from the VR ones i think), not only just official stuff, but in the vocaloid fanbase in general too? For example, those videos that are like "tuning ____ in the style of other vocaloid producers" and out of every one that ive seen kikuo has only been mentioned in one of them lmao...It's insane how someone can be so popular but so overlooked and underrated at the same time

I've already seen 3 websites (vgmdb, discogs and musicbrainz) say that his real name is Keisuke Kikuchi, but none of them seem to have a source. Does at least anyone have some sort of source?

Kanye West + Kim Kardashian's daughter, north west, has released an album that has a song that samples aishite x3, just called Aishite. Is this the first time Kikuo has been mentioned / promoted by a massive internationally recognized western artist?

It's kind of crazy to have the music I listened to in elementary school get so massive like this. I also hope they update the credits because Kikuo is currently not credited at all (at least on apple music)

I recently got into Alien Stage and the songs are awesome! The composer probably didn't even think of this song as being inspired by Kikuo, but damn... It sounds so much like one.

At around the 4:15 mark of あなぐらぐらし, he tunes Miku to sound almost like a growling yell? Instead of "アア” like the spotify lyrics, it sounds more like "Brrrwah" when you actually listen to it. I'm asking because I'm orchestrating the song and I want to re-create that part of the song.

I mean I know this might not be the right place to be asking these things but idk what else to do bruh .

So about two weeks ago I bought 7 kikuo cds from the online store, which were about 70 dollars in total PLUS a god-damned 40 bucks for the shipping. Alright. I paid it.

So, after a week or so, the package flew from Japan to Alaska to Kentucky to a warehouse a few kilometers away from the delivery address. Now, the thing was supposed to come to me on friday, but it didn't, and got delayed to, apparently, somewhere between tomorrow (april 4th) and the day after tomorrow (april 5th, the most probable date as UPS website says that it's scheduled for Tuesday by the end of the day).

All cool. The thing is that maybe 10 minutes ago I checked the Shopify and then the UPS website again to catch up on any changes or whatever, and now it turns out that I owe them 40 dollars again, even giving me the option to "pay now" and such. Now, are those the 40 dollars I already gave out when paying (70 for the CDs + 40) or are those a new 40 dollars, making the shipment fee a total of 80 bucks? (70 + 40 + 40)

Idk what to do bruh

Like- it's already giving me a "delivery date", but is that only valid if I do "pay now" or it's the thing just broken? Because, like I said, the international shipping thing was already covered when I first paid in the kikuo store, but I don't know if

1.- it's a matter of time until both the store and the delivery service kinda get that thing settled - ergo Kikuo Online Store does that "payment" for me with the money I already gave them and I can peacefully wait for my things without spending another penny on this or

2.- I'm SCREWED and that's actually none of the Store's business and it's just Trump messing with me and adding an extra fee on my ahh that I must pay as soon as possible to get my babies come home avec moi.

SOMEONE HELP ME SHOULD I CONTACT UPS OR WHAT BRUH because I'm NOT spending another big 800 Sheimtavos on ts I'm poor man what the hell 😭🙏
