>I don’t really have any particular opinion at all on unauthorized copying. I’ve seen many replies from people who use my art as avatars, and I can permit that. What I can’t stand is alterations and added decoration beyond that I would permit. I’ve been consistent on this ever since back when I did singing videos and such.
>If you want to do fanworks, then knock yourself out, I say. I was brought up in contact with that sort of thing, and when I started on NicoNico Douga, I felt that quality of the online community was a truly amazing one. But having something in which I hold at least a little pride remoled in some off-putting form is hard to be permissive of.
>I recognize I’m standing in a somewhat iffy position, but when I see such off-putting things, I can’t help but make it known that I can’t possibly approve of them. Because I really want no part in or association with them. Sometimes the things I see will fill me with joy or anger. So I think you should do what you like and not worry about it.
>Theeeee end.

Kenshi Yonezu (Vocaloid producer “hachi”), on fanart versus altering work.
Please don’t edit his art.

People should stop calling everything “profound.” They say you can find meaning in anything if you persist long enough, and they act like it’s a difficult thing to do. But if you just keep piling up stones on the side of the road, like it not, that’s “profound” too.
Rather than things being genuinely profound, it’s really just you who’s choosing to going deeper and deeper. If you want to go deep, you can go as far as you want - or rather, you go to a point that satisfies you. It’s not right to be haughty simply for having done that.
受け入れて、変わっていかざるを得ない。作品を世に出し、聴いてくれる人たちと自分とを照らし合わせ、その度に価値観を更新していく。価値観なんて変わってナンボだと思っている。作り続けることができる人間が一番強い。願わくば自分もそうありたい。
[We have to accept, and have to change. When I release a work into the world and compare myself to those who listen, my values are updated. I feel values are something that are always changing. People who can keep on creating are the most powerful of all. I wish to be that way myself, if possible.]

riningear:
I feel like these guys should work something out one day.
number one reason to be in the vocaloid fandom should really just be “we have kenshi yonezu”
because who doesn’t want kenshi yonezu
tenboudai:
The various buyer bonus items/tokuten that are included for Yonezu Kenshi’s diorama, changes depending on where you order them. Click on the images to see what stores each item corresponds to.
The Tsutaya book cover is not eligible for online orders.
(I’ll include a link to the stores later on today or possibly tomorrow night! Really busy right now sorry D: )
For those of us who do not live in Japan, diorama from CDJapan will come a bonus poster. The first press edition came with a slipcase but that sold out already.
EDIT: Links! Melon Books. HMV. Animate. NicoHonsha. shinseido. Toranoana. Tower Records. WonderGOO. Also, it looks like HMV’s not the only ones doing a random drawing type thing. Animate will also give 5 random winners the autographed tumblers and it looks like the liner notes that will be given to everyone who purchases from there will also be autographed.
I LITERALLY SCREAMED
FUCK WHERE’S MY DEBIT CARD
riningear:
well guys I’ve lost control of my life

YOU REALLY DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THIS ISSUE IS
Words are so intimately involved in our lives that there’s a tendency to neglect to represent things through other means of expression. That’s why it’s difficult for us to express that which can’t be put into words. If you can’t express it in words, it’s not likely you can do it with music, art, physical things, or images either.
The differences in means of expression come down to different “thicknesses,” or “concreteness,” as well as what people personally like and dislike. Many people will say they like music and movies, but very few say they like words.
