BLOG ~ How it Started
Written September 9th, 2025 - Background
In the early AMs of a random summer night in 2018, I found myself scrolling through YouTube in bed. Nothing in particular caught my interest for the most part, just the usual creepypasta and "TOP 15 SCARY VIDEOS!!!" style content I watched often at that point in my life. I was getting ready to call it a night when I came across an odd video. "Kyô Kawanishi - Maruberu Pause No Uchuusen." It had an eye-catching thumbnail, this eerie picture of a man wearing a jason voorhees lookin' hockey mask and some kind of robe. As someone who was and still is very into horror content, it piqued my interest, so I clicked on it.
The song, I listened to it... Dude, this song is weird as fuck, and I kinda love it?? From a more critical standpoint, the song sorta sucks, the vocals are poorly recorded and it sounds very cheaply made, but it has HEART. Even back then it really stuck with me, I did a bit of research that night and found both the Cartilage Consortium & World's Worst Records pages both discussing him but nothing else. Despite the lack of findings, I never forgot about it.
Something about the instrumentals man, I don't know what it is but I've gotten it stuck in my head more than a few times despite the awkward vocals and general vibe of the song. Over the years I'd remember his name and google it, I really wanted to hear the rest of the album this song belonged to, but the search continues to this day. Eventually I decided to make my findings public. If nothing else, it gives me peace of mind that I'm not just keeping all of this to myself.
If this weird ass album interests you, I encourage you to do your own research and see what you can find. Let me know on my bluesky if you find anything lol. Anyway, that's it for the post, BYE-BYE!!!
This is a rewrite of a previous blog post. I felt the old one was outdated and was just not very good so this is my second attempt at writing about this idea.
