Legendary singer, actor, and performer Ichiro Mizuki has passed away at the age of 74.

Ichiro Mizuki had become known around the globe as the “king of anime”, in part due to his whopping 1,200+ song career, but also due to his big personality. Mazinger Z, Devil Man, and more—if you watch anime to any degree, it is likely that you have heard his music. Relevant to our circles—Mizuki performed the original “Love Theme” ending song from Lupin III: Part 2.

Steel A Jeeg's Magno-Mixtape Vol 04

Pack up the leftovers and toss them in the trash, we've got a fresh new batch of music hot from the oven for you.

But don't let my magnum opus of album art deceive you, this isn't some gimmicky holiday mix. You know you can expect better from Jeeg.

And look, we all know it. Christmas music sucks. It's unrelenting, crusty and dusty, and - if you don't celebrate - it feels like you're being bombarded by it. So we're not here for that.

Remember, each Mixtape will only be available for one month - with a new volume going up on the 7th. At the end of the day, the old one is deleted. So get them while you can.

The the theme for this playlist is: Winter

Very creative, I know. But winter is a deceptively big arena to play in - cold, lonely, often melancholic vibes. And a theme of closing the door - as one year ends, and the arbitrary demarcation of a new one approaches.

And you know what? Now I am feeling a little festive - so clean out your clogs, there might be a treat for you.

The access code is: TWISTERCUTTER

Featuring tracks from: Regina Spektor, CAKE, deadman, Empress Stahhr, Dir En Grey, Kid Cudi, The Carranger Cast, Haruna Ikezawa and more!

Choose your format: RETIRED - Check the pinned post for this month's release

The zip contains 12 songs in various file formats (often lossless) a text file breaking down the track listing with liner notes, and custom album art. Feel free to share this music with anyone you like.

Mizuki Ichiro has passed away.

I knew this news was coming eventually, but I was hoping we had more time with him.

I find some comfort in the fact that he got to fulfill his wish - performing until the very end.

Do what you love every day of your life and to will have lived a hundred lifetimes. And will have touched countless more lives.

This is how I will always remember him.

On stage.

Electrifying the audience.

A true showman.

Please indulge me in a quick personal story:

There have been more than a few moments in my life where everything felt hopeless. Like a darkness that you just can't shake.

In my early 20s, circa the early 2000s, I was going through a period like that.

As we tend to do in moments where we are seeking comfort, I decided to do a deep dive into some of my favorite anime songs from when I was younger. Mazinger Z being a huge favorite of mine. It would be a good distraction, and some nostalgia that I could lose myself in.

I hadn't seen it in years, but I figured it should be easy enough to find online.

This just so happened to be around the time songs from the Super Robot Spirits 2000 live show started to appear online.

This led me down the rabbit hole - first to the live version of Mazinger Z from that aforementioned concert - then to the overflowing trove of other songs Mizuki Ichiro performed. Steel Jeeg, Baratack, Kamen Rider Stronger, countless others. Crossovers with other performers I adored. Jazzy opening themes of adventure and bravado; bluesy ballads of loss and perseverance that played over end credits.

I realized that this man was the sound of my childhood.

I'll always find comfort in that Super Robot Spirits 2000 concert.

The energy from those performers was infectious. It was hard not to smile when they took to the stage and ignited the audience. It was joyful and exciting and kinetic and moving. It helped me through a period when I was struggling to find joy. It helped me understand the importance of sharing joy.

And it all started with Mizuki Ichiro

Not just for me.

For millions, all across the world.

He was the spark that lit the fire of the genre. He was the electricity that made it light up. One of the greatest voices to ever perform, and it never mattered that it was "just" music from cartoons.

The world will be a darker place now that Mizuki Ichiro is gone. But we'll always have his music. His love of performing. And the countless other artists he inspired along the way.

Rest in peace, Aniki - thank you for everything. Your music got me through some very hard times. Still gets me through them.

You were an unforgettable talent, and your music will live on.
