Hyadain2525

It has been sometime since I've talked about music. Probably one of the more creative and unique artists, Hyadain2525 has been storming it up as of recent. To find out more about his history and the mysterious person click, click, click that break.

First appearing on Nico Nico Douga, the mysterious uploader of  remixed video game music soon became well known. Doing everything from Chrono Trigger and Mario, to Dragon Quest, his most famous game song might be Rap De Chocobo although he is also very well known for doing his Megaman boss remixes. Hyadain not only does video game music but also creates his own music, writing, composing, and singing all by himself.

Hyadain (ヒャダイン) is Kenichi Maeyamada's online persona. Born July 4, 1980, Kenichi mainly composes anime theme songs and J-pop music under the SUPALOVE Japanese music label. Kenichi has had a hand in many anime songs, such as composing the Momoiro Clover song Mirai Bowl (the Dragon Crisis! ending theme song) and Natsuko Aso's Perfect Area Complete! (the Baka to Test to Shokanjou opening song).


Kenichi's online persona, Hyadain, music could be classified as dance/ electronic with synthesized vocals. What probably makes Hyadain unique is that in his songs all the vocals are done by him, this includes the female vocals. To help let newcomers identify with these voices, Hyadain has two split characters, Hyadain being the male and Hyadaruko as the female.

Hyadain and Hyadaruko are sung by Hyadain.

Of course Hyadain came to real stardom with his intros to the anime Nichijou. Both Hyadain's Kakakata Kataomoi C and Hyadain's JoJo YuJo exemplify why he has become so popular. Although what has to be my favorite are Hyadain's Japanese Annual Song Battle, where he takes the 50 popular songs from the year and mashes them up into a battle between Hyadain and Hyadaruko. I look forward to seeing what crazy songs he can come up with next.
