Wiki
Siinamota's Young Girl A was one of many tracks that remained lodged in obscurity for quite sometime. The Vocaloid genre in the 2010s had already been booming for a while, thanks to memes, Project Diva and otaku culture. Considered by many to be his magnum opus, Young Girl A exploded in popularity during the 2020s and in the process, redefined and reintroduced Gen Z to synthesized j-rock.
As the pandemic notably increased depression amongst youth, many looked towards music of a slightly older era for comfort and expression. Along came Siinamota's discography, and he did not disappoint.
It was only a matter of time before Tiktok and digital nomads discovered his work. The song's raw instrumentation, introspection and tackling of suicide was hailed by users as profound and resonant. Within the trends, internet sleuths began to dig and an unfortunate truth was discovered.
There were theories that this was his suicide note and that he was ending it right there. He made a post on Twitter confirming that sentiment in a Peter Pan like suspense, leaving fans in distress.
When his label GINGA announced his passing, the Vocaloid fanbase stood still.
Understated and underrated, Siinamota's talent and art will live on, through speakers, soundwaves and the community united by his music.
As of 2024, the lyric video on Youtube has 68 million views and counting.
