The person I’m interested in is Yun Netsu Genji, a Japanese singer-songwriter, record producer, and illustrator. I first learned about him during his live concert in Shanghai in 2019, where he performed his popular songs such as Lemon and Loser. The song Lemon surely touched my soul with its poignant role and lyrics. I just discovered that it has over 800 million views on YouTube. Its popularity is so significant, you can find interviews discussing it. In Japanese reality shows, where people share how it has influenced their perspectives on life. One line from the song really stands out. If you somehow burn the same tears and the same loneliness as I do, please forget about me. This really good showcase is his kindness and encourages us to reflect on how we can genuinely care for the emotions of others. I believe he is a real genius, as his talent seems to flow effortlessly from living him. The last time I encountered such a natural talent was this, Yutada Hikaru, another brilliant artist from Japan. In addition to his music talent, Yun Netsu Genji is also a skilled illustrator. As an introvert, he took the initiative to produce his own music records, which I, as an introvert, amiss myself. I know, it is really hard. And that makes me even respect it more. And this means he wrote the lyrics, composed the music, and also performed the songs by himself, and he also created the artwork for his albums, all while independently publishing them. His multi-faceted talent is impressive, and I’m genuinely interested in learning more about his life.
