hihi!! tondemo wonders anti-voter here again!! regarding the person asking why I did that -- yeah, you were right that it's pretty much that I think it's overly well known/overhyped and I wanted something more obscure for the polls. I use the polls for artist/music discovery and think it's more fun that way!! but more than that, I sent that ask because (despite its popularity) I don't think tondemo is a great representation of sasakure.uk as an artist overall? its fun peppy vibe is part of what makes it popular, but it's also not something you see a ton of in his work -- the closest comparison I can think of is maybe puppet theater of twee box? or maybe weekend is coming, but that has far more serious/darker lyrics. most songs are just slightly emotional in a different direction (too melancholy, too angsty, too atmospheric, hopeful/uplifting in a different way, etc). but either way -- most of his other fast upbeat songs don't quite have the same Peppy Happy Fun Silly vibe tondemo has. for this reason I've met a handful of people who Only like tondemo and don't explore sasakure.uk's discography beyond it because most of his other top songs dont really fit that vibe, which is a shame because sasakure's discography is MASSIVE?? like I'm sure there's something else in there you'd like if you liked tondemo wonders!! and for this reason I'm happy xeno was what ended up getting polled -- that atmospheric experimental slightly chiptune synthesized style is way more prevalent in sasakure's work and therefore anyone who explores sasakure.uk's work beyond the poll is more likely to find similar songs they like. xeno is well know enough that people recognized it, but also not SO well known that it'd be an easy "yes, heard before" for the average vocaloid fan. fantastic pick!! thank you other askers for having good taste!! anyways, hope you don't mind receiving another essay from me -- I don't even really remember what I wrote in the first. feel free to post either of these ones the titles go live idrc im just very passionate about sasakure.uk LMAO

If I included your ask, xeno was actually submitted 3 separate times! So it's nice to see there is an appreciation for sasakure's work outside of tondemo wonders. And I do hope there is at least one person who wasn't familiar with xeno before who checked it and the rest of sasakure's songs out! Again I am very glad to be a place for finding new artists, hehe
