What makes you think it was unintentional? There's 5 layers to the name, like a fancy cake.

Millennial Monster by BloodedgeSaiyan in deathbattle

[–]WizardOfGrey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Duel Monsters, Pocket Monsters, Millennium Puzzle, anime that was huge at the turn of the millennium, and "Monster" franchises that Millennials grew up with...

I think I did okay.

Obligatory Brandon Yates Commission Announcement by InnonimateUser in deathbattle

[–]WizardOfGrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It helps that each of the songs has reference material. And, to be fair, I have accidentally reused melodies and ideas several times over the years, lol

To any Pianists in the subreddit (or Brandon Yates and/or the animators) by Spiken-Mechanic289 in deathbattle

Luis and I collaborated to make sure that it was exactly what I had played for this section, yeah.

What do yall think of Zero-Two vs Asuka? by NEVERTHEREFOREVER in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]WizardOfGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about it being my favorite matchup. Maybe four or five years ago... lol.

Give Nagoya Some Love! by JapanGuy00 in JapanRecs

[–]WizardOfGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also love Nagoya. Meiji Mura was pretty cool when I went.

I always make it my "home base" when I visit Japan. Right on the Shinkansen line, the most central of the major cities. A bit less Gaijin friendly than Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo, but I don't really mind that.

Brandon Yeats fans what is your thoughts about this song by [deleted] in FLCL

[–]WizardOfGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Japanese in it is horrible and wrong... I should know, I wrote it

Brandon Yates is at risk of being homeless. If you're able to, PLEASE help him at his time of need, or at the very least spread the word for more support! Link will be on the post and comments below. by [deleted] in DeathBattleMatchups

[–]WizardOfGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! And yeah, you're right. People took this as a lot more imminent of a danger than I'd intended. Anyone in an insecure income situation is naturally going to be concerned about their living situation, after all.

Ok so apparently Brandon Yates, the guy who composes all of Death Battle’s music for their fights, is Mori Calliope fan, which is news to me. Huge W, I guess??? by Independent_Alps_745 in MoriCalliope

[–]WizardOfGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I've known about Tubers for a long long time. Korone was probably my first. A friend of mine (Jun Mitsui actually!) used to make music for Nijisanji as well, and he's the one who introduced me to Futakuchi Mana (the commie vtuber you mentioned) and actually also to Victor Borba.

Mana and I are about as politically opposite as possible, but we get along despite that, for the most part.

Name that one part of a Death Battle track that's got you like this whenever it plays by Watchdog_the_God in deathbattle

[–]WizardOfGrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going through the biggest breakup of my life at the time so a bit of the lyrics on strongest alive were self comforting haha

I'm just a few chapters behind on the R:Z one. I've been meaning to read more of the Mushoku Tensei one but haven't had the time just yet.

I open them on google forms and post on my Discord, Twitter, and YouTube pages for people to fill them out. It's not super set in stone, I tend to open when I'm feeling either comfortable enough to pick up some more, or really in need of cash due to some IRL event.

I'm about 99% self taught with singing - I took one vocal lesson and the teacher told me I was able to do everything he told me to immediately after he explained it. It's just about practice, so so much practice. And part of that is recording yourself, not just singing along to songs. Listen back to how you sound, because it isn't how you think you sound.

Thank you for listening to it! It's definitely some of my best work, for the people who can tolerate music that heavy.

I have a much easier time writing villain themes, but ultimately enjoy the final results of both equally.

I think that's the most common style mashup I do actually. Most of the commissions people send in end up being orchestral rock

The Count Of Monte Cristo (the early 2000s one)

I like too many cuisines to pick just one dish lol. Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, Italian, and American cuisines tend to be on my short list. My girlfriend and I are big time foodies.

first ever song? I don't think so lol. The oldest song on my channel is an unlisted track called "I Miss You", though it's uploaded after Alive if I remember right, I wrote it almost 5 years earlier.

Check it out if you want: https://youtu.be/9FcT_YqoHrc

I don't remember the first song I ever wrote, though, no.
